I honestly can’t even remember how I actually decided to move 18,764 km away from the only home I’d ever known, all on my own. (Probably not very a helpful fact in a ‘how to move to the other side of the world’ article, but it’s full of actually helpful tips, don’t worry.)
I was the ripe old age of 19, and not really enjoying my architecture degree. My grades were pretty good, but I remember being frustrated at only learning from books and idealistically thinking ‘how on earth am I supposed to create these amazing spaces if I’ve never actually experienced them?’ (nb: perfecting the blogger pose a decade before it was a thing…)
