Life and Travel Overseas

What thirty countries have taught me—and what I understand differently when I return.

Packing, flights, routes and the ordinary details that create confidence before departure.

Preparing for a four-and-a-half-month journey from South Africa toward Vietnam. How am I leaving my life behind and how am I also planning for my return?

My current travels and what it is like to experience a short term life in another country. Am I a traveler? Do I want to move? Should I try being a digital nomad? Hopefully these 4.5 months can help me find the answers for these questions for myself. 

“A good itinerary gives you direction. Curiosity gives you permission to change it.”
