Living Abroad

I've never done it. But, I want to. I'm not too chicken to do it by myself, and should the right opportunity present itself I just might. But, I also recognize that my ultimate goal right now is to get married and start a family. Thus, I am placing myself in places where my odds are in my favor, though truthfully, Brittany found her forever love in Copenhagen so it could happen anywhere!!

That being said, I want to live lots of places, experience lots of different things.
To name a few:

Italy
France
Greece
A village in Africa
South America

I feel like I want to get to know people of the world. I want to know their stories. I want to know how they live. I want to work with them and serve them and learn from them. I'm not sure how to put this plan in action.

Maybe teaching in other countries will be a good opportunity. Maybe living abroad with my husband. Having kids in another country?? I don't know, but I do know I'd love for my kids to be exposed to all different areas of the world could bring a lot of good things.

The only thing: I would need to have the means to come home and visit my family. I want my children to know my parents. I have been blessed by knowing my grandparents and I want that for my children, more than anything.

Maybe 1 year stints with a home base close to Ohio. DC or NY or southern warmth like South Carolina.
