Neither expat angst nor awe, I recently suffered a case of meh. Another beautiful sunset, yawn. More charming people, whatevs. Writing blog posts, who could really care. And then I went to Seattle for a conference and found out that my mom really does read my blog and wants to hear about the sunsets, charming people, and so on.
I also realized that I am loving this adventure. This came as a surprise, I thought I would realize all that I was missing in America when I came back for the AOIR conference. While I loved the conference and all of the wonderful people I got to hang out with (Adam, Kiley, Ryan, Sunny, and many more), I was happy to return home...to Bulgaria. I am not sure why I have not suffered from homesickness. It may have something to do with my home being a person rather than a place (shout out to Mark). Anyway, more posts will show up this week and updates will become a regular occurrence!
It was lovely to see you, too! Am glad you made it safely home. We should chat soon.
ReplyDeleteSo good to see you in Seattle! Completely appreciate and am absolutely jealous of your adventures. I will have to live vicariously through you both for a little while, at least.
