The past year I’ve been working for This Week In and LAUNCH. My job has primarily been comprised of sales and business development. It’s my first sales job and has been a huge learning experience from prospecting, to finding almost anyone’s email address, learning empathy, and most importantly, how to write a good email. While […]
It’s hard to believe we were still residents of South Korea a little over 3 months ago. We have changed virtually every aspect of our lives since then; Jason works full time while I am now the Housewife, we live in a city where we can communicate without circus gestures, we have carpeted floors in […]
It’s been a common question — what’s it like being back home? In this hodgepodge post I wanted to give an update on the “reverse culture shock” I experienced, what it’s like being back home and what I’m doing now for work.
Having a blog is a funny thing. At the beginning, it’s really exciting. You’ve got a thousand post ideas, funny stories, and great pictures to share so you start writing. Then, you get your first comment – things are even more exciting! But then, things start to slip. You miss a week. So you apologize […]
We really lucked out. I’m sitting on our personal balcony facing a picture-perfect ocean view of our own little bay. Not only is the weather amazing, but the sand is soft, the water is warm (but not too warm to the point where it’s no longer refreshing), the beach is not in the least crowded, […]
Since we’ve been back, one of the most frequently asked questions we get is “so where are you living now?” Just like most things since we’ve been back, we answer with a long, drawn out “well…..” The reason for this is quite comical; we don’t have a home. I started applying to teach in Korea […]
I realize the irony of the title of my post. Reading about life lessons from someone who has (hopefully) only lived about a quarter of their life is ridiculous. However, over the last year of travel I’ve figured out a lot about myself and where I want to go with my life. I wanted to […]
Although I am technically unemployed, I have a full-time job. This wedding planning stuff has really taken over my jobless life! I mean this in the best way possible, I really do, because I absolutely love planning my own wedding. Besides, how else am I going to plan an amazing party in 3 months? There […]
So Jason and I have been back in the mainland US for one month now, and I have to say that it’s been an awesome month! We’ve been to a wedding, we’re going to two more, we’ve been seeing our friends and family, we’ve been spending a sh*tload of money on food, and we’ve been […]
One of the first questions people have been asking us upon our return home has been “what was your favorite place?” If you have been on a longer-than-one-month trip overseas, then you know this dreaded question and are so familiar with answering it that you use the same cookie-cutter reply every time because every place […]
