I love this story.. I love that despite it all, you followed your hearts and did the thing you dreamed of, even when it was difficult and uncertain. So many people never get past the dream stage. My partner and I are on the verge of a small adventure too, as we figure out where we want to live and how we want to live. It feels a bit overwhelming... but I know we will get there, just like you. Thank you for this inspiring post!
