Reminiscence in New Lands
Living abroad is:

Living inside a strange culture
Looking at a culture that you are familiar with from a distance

Building relationships with someone new
Renewing existing relationships

Realizing your previous norm is not making sense anymore
Finding yourself free from your former norm

Creating a new part of yourself
Knowing a part of yourself that doesn't change


"Living Abroad" is an interview project that features interviews with those who have experienced living abroad. These individuals with various backgrounds and hometowns are here to tell you their stories of the realizations and joy they have found, and the conflicts that they faced through their experiences.

If you are interested in getting interviewed, please contact here.

After working for a publishing company and a startup, I’ve been freelancing since 2014. I sometimes travel or take short study trips but haven’t lived abroad long-term just yet. I love hearing stories from people who have—it lets me daydream a little.
