As you watch please keep in mind that I'm new to the filmmaking world. I would love all the CONSTRUCTIVE criticism that you have to give along with questions.

I'll be uploading one video per week that takes you through different topics in the realm of moving to a new country, self-discovery, multi-cultural living, culture shock, working in the luxury travel industry, being an ex-pat, and much more.

A very special shout out to Sami and Jesus for the makeup and filming assistance! Love you both!
