I left the USA to live in Korea. I returned to the USA a few years later. I’m often asked why I returned. Here’s why —and the one universal thing I found everywhere I went. 💫#livingabroad #americanculture #livinginkorea #lessonsfromtravel #growthmindset

Dear USA 🇺🇸—after leaving the great city of Chicago to live in #Korea, I asked everyone I met abroad: what do you think of Americans? 🤔The world literally tells me the USA is friendly, helpful, open-minded, loving. Gasp! 😮 Let’s show the world it’s true. We’ve got work to do. We just have to start.

Can taking a leap of faith and doing  
new, different, bold, and scary things change your life for the better? Can changing your #mindset improve your life? It did for me.   #livingabroad #growthisuncomfortable

Does the world love the #USA? 🌍 I asked! From Australia to Vietnam to India to Mexico, here’s what they told me. Here’s what the world sees that the USA may sometimes forget!

Hey USA, the world called. 🌍📲  From Portugal to Uzbekistan to Thailand to Australia, they have some supportive feedback for the USA. If the USA wants to be respected around the world, we have to show it—starting with how we treat each other. The world is watching & hoping we rise.

People all over the world admire the
USA right now for our creative #freedom. The USA makes music, movies, tech, art—stuff that shapes the whole world & future. What if we used that same creative freedom not just to entertain, not just to profit...but to evolve? Let's build a country worth admiring.

Growth is uncomfortable.
Staying the same is uncomfortable.
One moves us forward.
One keeps us stuck.
Discomfort is guaranteed. Progress is not.
Do you want the discomfort that grows you,
or the discomfort that destroys?
Choose wisely America.

If you want to have a great country, city, workplace, organization, or home—you must do this first. You cannot build anything great without this. #mentalhealth

After over a year of reverse culture shock back in the USA, here’s one difference about society & health.

It’s not health insurance! Well IT IS THAT too but that’s a whole *other* story for another day (coming soon)

Thinking about #movingabroad? Here’s the truth about life overseas 🌎

Living abroad taught me a lot about what makes people truly thrive.

It’s not buying a house, a job title, the latest phone, Pilates classes, or drinking organic juice.

Here’s what I’ve learned about parenting, & here’s what we are building for the next generation in the USA & around the planet.🌎

#Livingabroad in Asia taught me so much about what makes people truly healthy, what makes families thrive, and what creates a healthy future.

Living abroad in Asia came with both great gains and real sacrifices—but it remains the best thing I’ve ever done. 🌎

Love this, such a well-rounded mix. I’ve been wanting to see An Incurable Case of Love. How about music, what do you enjoy? K pop? Do you know Jackson Wang?

Great list, thank you for sharing! I’m adding them to my queue.
Have you seen My Mister, Mr. Sunshine, Goblin (Guardian), or When Life Gives You Tangerines?
Would love to hear your thoughts on those!

Such a comfort and respite indeed! What was once a shock coming from the US is now a great comfort. Is there a particular film or TV that stuck with you? Two sets of sheets is genius! Asia has shared so many everyday wonders with us. Have a favorite food?
