December 19th
I’m on a flight to Tokyo that takes over 12 hours. Now is a perfect time for me to set the scene since you are going to see Asia through my eyes.
To say that I love to travel is a huge understatement. Travel in my blood. I would like to thank my parents for instilling a hunger to see the world in my brother and me at a very young age. I know they are worried about me right now because they are parents. However, they are also extremely excited about the opportunities I will experience.
This is not my first time living abroad… and it’s not my second. I’ve had the good fortune of studying in Australia for a year in college and earning a Masters in Creative and Media Enterprises in England. When I studied in Australia, I wanted to observe the little ways that our cultures differed because everyone assumes they are so similar. England gave me the opportunity to learn about the creative industries around the world. This time I am eager to learn about business in Asia, as well see life from a new perspective. Even though I’ve traveled to different parts of the world, this all feels so new and exciting.
Someone said to me the other day that this experience is going to change my life. I honestly don’t know how it will change, but I can promise you that will keep my eye, ears, and heart open as I travel from one place to the next.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. I will try to make it entertaining and informative. I truly hope this blog is not a one-way conversation with all of you. Think of it more as an extended facebook status. Please share your thoughts/reactions. (Thanks Guy and Steve for starting the trend with my last post. I will try to update the blog when I'm there. And thanks Mom too.)
