This is still one of my favorite sentences: “I officially hung up my chopsticks and said sweet goodbyes to bubble tea and soup dumplings, kissing this beautiful tropical island and comfortable ‘expat’ life goodbye.”💙
Kelly, thank you so much for this. It's so nice to feel like I found another member of my tribe - those of us who prefer living abroad and experiencing a myriad of adventures rather than a lifetime of routine. I'm looking forward to hearing more about Lisbon and just want to say congratulations on getting your rental secured! Such a big deal! Happy Holidays from Montana.

A beautiful and vivid sentence, Kelly.
I could sense a feeling of “liberation” in this essay.
I loved it. There were so many big-smiley moments while reading this.
What a banger of an essay Kelly! I loved the sense of movement in your essays! Hits so viscerally. Felt like I went on a quick rerun of your ten years on the road with you. :)
God this came out beautifully.

I'm going to be sharing this with so many people, Kelly. Beautifully written and very emotionally honest.
My man and I recently did something similar - but I’m Andalucia Spain. We love it. And are very happy to be here.
