Thank you for the touching inspiration, Ben. On my return trip back to the UK from holidays at home, I took it all in. I’m on board Cap’n! When does this uncharted ship sail?!

I love my new UK roots, and for sure, am excited about how I am blossoming through the experience. Every single day has been an adventure here. Even the smallest things are victories or learning lessons. Through it all, I’ve learned to laugh at myself for being the bumbling (Ooo & shhh! at times maybe even the saavy ;) foreigner. It’s something that’s got my wanderlust story just beginning. I have big hopes that yes, this may very well be the prologue to that Chapter 1. :)

Right now, I am very lucky that I am able to mix a career that I absolutely love with living overseas. I’m not quite sure how that would work someplace stranger. Though, your writing certainly makes it sound very enticing! So, before I climb aboard, Cap’, I’ll finish my work here and admire your truly brave travel heart and amazing spirit, with strong aspirations of joining (and affording) your vessel some day. Thank you again for your beautiful words.
