The Six Senses of Life Overseas

Nothing ever prepares you for arriving in the dark of night on a new continent. There isn't enough cultural sensitivity classes, language training or dining at a hole in the wall ethnic restaurant in your city that can prepare you for the way your life will change.

Go ahead and embrace that truth. You can have all the training and orientation in the world, but stepping foot on the soil of your new overseas home will challenge and change you in ways that you will only understand once you are there. 

You can't fully prepare your senses. 

Prepare your senses to be ravished in the country to where you are headed. Take in the sights and sounds because too soon they will become commonplace.

I'm over at Velvet Ashes today sharing about how to experience life in your over new overseas home with all six of your senses. Yes, six senses. The sixth might be the most important.
