In May 2013 while planning my trip to China and Japan after having thought about it for a while, I decided to stop using Facebook forever. So I’m going to share why I did that in first place, what happened right after that and how I feel now after 8 years.
The idea of being with somebody from another country has always captivated me. I thought it was exciting, different and exotic. The challenge is that sooner than later, culture kicks in and things begin to change but it doesn’t have to be like that.
In my mind quitting was always a bad thing. It was a lazy approach. It was the easy thing to do when things were difficult. But the more I travelled the more I realised how wrong I was. I want to tell you why.
