~ I'm moving to US 🇺🇸 ~

My visa got approved today. After 2yr sabbatical, I'm moving in to New York - just in time for FarCon!

Nowhere in the world have I experienced such an incredible mix of generosity, high energy, and ambition as in US. Although I have traveled *a lot* over the past decade and was a resident in several countries, the idea of coming to the US never crossed my mind.

Last year was different. I got to FarCon '24 and traveled across the states. I had no plan. I ended up attending weddings and family reunions. Online friends and old colleagues welcomed me into their homes. There were stretches of days when I didn't spend a cent on food because of generosity of my American friends (who won't take no as an answer!)

My only hope is that I will be able to give back to those who treated me so dearly and contribute to a culture that made me who I am today.

And now, after such a long break, I'm back (again again again again) in business (literally)
