Have you ever toyed with the idea of living abroad? The appeal is undeniable. Right? A change in scenery, the thrill of the unknown, and the allure of adventure. It all sounds so wonderful. And let me tell you that having walked the complex path of living overseas, beginning in China, I can vouch that it’s not merely about having…
How can you dislike something you’ve never tried? My closest friend recently expressed great surprise when they discovered my incredibly versatile palate.
