Taiwan

A few short months ago I was quite certain this day would ever come. As I diligently sent every agency, school and company in Asia my resume and photo, I wasn't sure I would see this day...Within 24 hours I will be on a plane; embarking on my newest adventure in life.
I just got off the phone with a new friend who recently lived in Taiwan with her family. She told me all of the food I have to try. She talked about how friendly people are and how easy it is to adjust to life in Taiwan. She made me that much more excited for my trip.
I will be living in Kaohsiung and teaching English for the next 13 months. I expect everything to be completely crazy and different. I am sure that sometimes I will be homesick and I will miss my family and friends. There will be many times in the coming months that I am pushed from my comfort zone and in to growth. But if I don't do this now I cant be positive that I will ever get this chance again.
I'm moving from small town, Washington to big city, Taiwan. It's frightening, its thrilling and its something that not everyone even thinks about doing. But, for now, I know this is what I should be doing.
I might come back looking different, I hopefully will be more educated and above all humbled beyond belief.
Here's to following our dreams. We have one chance at this life so why not make it spectacular, scary and so FUN!
