It has been a little over a week since we have been in Brisbane and it is absolutely lovely. Our last week before we left Seoul when I was chatting with friends and family we were making lots of jokes about how I was going to be when I could finally communicate with the locals […]

The reason for the title of this chapter “Seoul, my soul” is that it is the tagline for the city of Seoul. “It signifies a city centered on its citizens, where their collective emotions and experiences create a better, more vibrant Seoul.

Ever since we’ve been in Japan I keep thinking of the line from the play Rent that goes, “today for you, tomorrow for me.” I’ve gotten a little better with the time change and it still takes some brain power to calculate. When I’m making plans to chat with someone in the States I’m always […]
We have had a busy and wonderful two and half weeks since I last wrote. There is just so much amazingness that Japan has to offer. We want to see and do it all, which we know is impossible. The biggest thing that has stood out to us as we’ve continued to be immersed in […]

“When you go in pursuit of your personal legend, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist) I know that the Universe has shown us that its got us several times throughout the course of this adventure and this past week we learned that it isn’t only while we’re […]
With the Americas portion of this adventure drawing to a close, we’ll be home on Saturday, I find myself in all the feels. There is the excitement of seeing friends and family, coupled with the desire to hold on to my truth, and not regress to the person I was when I lived there. I […]
