My expat journey
Seoul, South Korea
North Carolina, USA
Currently living here with my daughter, attending school, working full-time for a large defense contractor. I spend as much time as I can volunteering at my daughter's school, from helping out in the classroom, taking care of school grounds, to driving kids to and from school field trips, sporting events. My daughter attends a small private school where they rely heavily on parent participation, to help keep costs down.

Not much! I'm a transplant from Connecticut, things move at a much slower pace down here.
I'm ready for a change!
