S3E14: The View from Abroad

You know how we sometimes dissect our night out on the way home from an event — you think about things you said, what others said, what you would do differently. That's what it feels like I've been doing after living abroad for two months — looking back and wondering if things are as bad as I thought they were, and if we made the right move.

This can't be covered in one episode but let's explore how things are currently looking from here.
