A new adventure

I’ve never officially had a bucket list. If I did the first thing on the list probably would have been written when I was 11 years old and gone something like this:

1. Live and work in a foreign country when I grow up.

Supposedly I’m “grown up” so it seems as good a time as any to get #1 crossed off the list.

On Friday I get on a plane and will, eventually, get off a plane in South Korea.  After 10 days of orientation I’ll find myself in Daegu where I will live for the next year (or more?). 

No, I don't know Korean. No, I don't actually know much about Daegu (although the wikipedia page was pretty long!). No, I've never even been to Korea before …. um, what was I thinking when I was 11!!!

Looking past the nerves and butterflies that are starting to form it’s a little hard to believe that I’m actually doing that thing I’ve talked about for so long. It’s completely exciting and utterly terrifying all at once.

I really have no idea what to expect after I get there. All I know for sure is that I have a passport with a visa, a plane ticket, my life packed into two bags and a carryon, and I’ve never been so excited to start a new adventure… and who doesn't love a little adventure in their life!

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones that you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

-       Mark Twain

Oh, and besides, Big Bang invited us all to Korea so I'm pretty sure it's going to be awesome! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
