in this week’s newsletter: sharing the “why” to my big move, what life has been like leading up to this moment, and the final (tearful) goodbyes.
dear penpals -
as i write this newsletter i’m currently sitting at a cafe trying to cool down from the ridiculous heat and humidity here in tokyo. which means yes, it actually happened. i moved to japan.
although i (and my family) had known this was going to happen for almost a year since things were put into motion, a lot of people who i surprised this news with didn’t actually know why i made this big life decision and change. i figured my first “official” japan update could explain why i moved in written format… but instead, why not pretend like my life is a movie and give you my update in video format (cause i’m feeling creative).
so enjoy the trailer of my life leading up to the moments right before getting on the plane that brought me here. i can’t wait to keep updating you on what life has been like since touching down on this side of the world.

congrats on the move! excited for your adventure
How brave of you! I was in my 30s before I had that type of "wake-up call" to what's most important in life. Looking forward to more posts and videos!
