Building Your Dream From Scratch

There is something almost sacred about beginnings. Not the glamorous kind people post about-but the ones that are messy, awkward, lonely, and real. That is where I started. No blueprint.

Homesick, but Thriving

There is an unspoken reality about moving abroad, one that does not get captured in the Instagram-worthy moments of airport selfies and sightseeing adventures.

But no amount of preparation could have fully captured what was waiting for me. A whirlwind of experiences, challenges, and moments so rewarding sometimes they do not feel real. I was also scared.…
