The Cinque Terra is one of the most beautiful places we've visited yet. I just hope that someday we get to return.
We have had an amazing year of life changing travel - all at a fraction of the cost it would have been if we never made the move.

Living as an expat is not easy. It's not all glory and wonderfully beautiful pictures. We haven't posted all the challenges, difficulties, and frustrations which equal the number of incredible experiences. Some of the simple daily activities require so much extra work. For example, it is hard to transfer money internationally between banks, mailing a package cost 4x, getting your drivers license takes two tries if you are male, and learning the workplace legal requirements requires reprogramming on all levels.
Although, it is probably not different than living anywhere in many regards: life is what you make of it. It depends on your outlook, your lens, the perspective of which you appreciate the gifts you have been given.
We didn't plan to move to England, we were fortunate enough to have the opportunity. Our eyes have been opened to appreciate experiences and differences that we didn't know before. We are continually thankful for the learning opportunity, but miss our family incredibly.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
