I’ve lived abroad for more than a third of my life and where to call home, particularly in the future, is something that every now and then occupies a lot of my mind.
It’s no secret that I Iike to be busy and when things are slightly crazy. Juggling multiple things at the same time is when I thrive the most. And days that go down as some of the most intense or extreme are also some of my best and when I
