Dear Dreamer,
Remember when you had that first realization that it might be time to make your exit from the North American hustle? You considered options - what would be different? But not too different. And not too far for that matter. Scrolling homemade Youtube videos posted by other expats seeking answers to endless questions? The midnight anxiety, the overwhelmed feeling of "where do we even start?"
We've been there. And in true project manager style, we've kept detailed notes on EVERYTHING.
