Thank you Janice for your lovely message! It means a lot to hear the word "respect", since leaving university had me loosing respect from A LOT of my peers, even family too. Like, "Ok so you're leaving uni and travelling, well then what?" If I catch up with old school friends, or even get asked what I graduated in, I feel very awkward and shy- ESPECIALLY since every other expat I meet is a professional in something. Sometimes it can feel like people think I've taken an easy road and don't really have any brains....You know? It's wonderful to hear I've inspired someone, thank you for making my day! By: Janice
Hi Sarah, I think you're an amazing person. I must say you deserve the respect for daring to be different and do what you think is right. You have such a positive outlook in life, it's inspiring. Keep it up and live life to the fullest and continue to inspire more people in the future! :) By: expatoftheworld
