Osaka, Japan is just as magical as everyone dreams it to be.  Before I visited, I wasn’t too sure what to expect. Even though I lived in the eastern side of the world for a couple of months, I would be visiting a culture that I had minimal exposure to and could only limit my knowledge to the pop cultural phenomenon anime.

Being in a foreign land where you don’t know the language, the culture, or even how to navigate your new community you realize that by not having the luxuries of living in the familiar, you are forced to have faith in yourself. You are forced to figure things out. You are forced to be your biggest supporter. 

I have always had quite an adventurous and open-minded spirit that created this constant desire in me to explore.  Flash forward a few years to my first corporate position after graduation, I was yet again feeling the itch to explore and place myself in a totally new environment.  But how did I end up moving to South Korea, of all locations in the entire world?
