It has been awhile since I have updated. In the last few months I have been a traveling monster and I have had the time of my life. It has been really difficult being home in Minnesota and staying put for awhile, but it has been AMAZING seeing friends and family. It took a bit to get used to "American" life again, but I am finally feeling adjusted. I have noticed that traveling has changed my soul. I feel like I am better equipped at handling stressful situations that previously were annoying such as traffic, crowded areas, irritating people, screaming children, etc. Going shopping is not as fun as it used to be. Don't get me wrong, I love a great deal, but having an excess of material things seem like such a waste to me. Seeing people who barely have a "house" to live in and food to eat makes you REALLY think about what you really need. I think I will probably struggle with that for the rest of my life, especially looking at what WE have. Some of us have more than others, but most people in the US who would be labeled "poor" would be considered very wealthy compared to others in impoverished countries. I'm not saying that life is easy for anyone, but there is always someone who has it worse. I hope that I will one day be able to make my way back to SE ASIA and spend more time there volunteering, especially in Cambodia.
My next move....
I will be preparing myself in the upcoming months to head back to Korea. I'm really excited! I will be living in Seoul again and will be fairly close to where I was living before. I will be leaving around April 12th- my flight is yet to be booked.
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. I wish you the best in the new year. Thank you all for your support.
Signing off until April...
xoxo
