It's official - Korea here I come!!

After months, no - years, of procrastinating, research and looking forward to this moment - my dream of teaching English overseas is becoming a reality. Why did I wait so long? Why does anyone put off their dreams of grandeur for a life that is comfortable, easy, familiar? I have talked about this for so long, it has become white noise to my friends and family. They said, "I'll believe you when I see the ticket". Alrighty folks, my seasons ticket starts March 20, no turning back now.

I will quote a good friend in this first post of my new blog, and I now understand the way she felt before embarking on her latest adventure of backpacking through India. Amy - you are more inspiring that you will ever know.

It's so interesting the reflections one has when standing at a precipice. I have dreamt this trip for so long and now that it is in front of me, it's hard to know what to make of it. It's funny how you can almost find yourself not wanting to achieve your dreams. Not that you don't want to achieve, simply that once achieved, it will cease to be a dream. Strange the attachments we form.
