Well America, today seems as good a day as any to say my first proper “thank you” 🇺🇸

I got on a plane at the drop of a hat on a risky overdue whim, with obvious excitement at my first adventure here, but minimal expectations 🤷🏻♂️ I’m glad I didn’t have time to create any because whatever I could have dreamt up would have been blown out of the water 💦

You’ve turned celebrities into colleagues, pictures and movie scenes into reality and thrown catalytic sparks into things I’d given up on.

There are plenty of things about this place I’m yet to get my head around (the whole gun thing is a bit odd, the mosquitos are the size of birds and like to bite me on the head, the fact that someone can ask me if a place called “Malaysia” is in Europe is gobsmacking and some of the alternative vocabulary is questionable) but for the other 996 reasons it’s a truly wonderful place 🏞 Consider me smitten and very grateful to be here - I only wish it wasn’t in such contrast to the current situation back home 😔

It’s a good thing the exchange rate and visa limitations mean I’ll have to leave eventually, or things could get dangerously permanent 😅
