@al.meets.social: Being from Arkansas, I didn’t grow up near the ocean. I didn’t know people who traveled. I didn’t have mountains to ski or a diverse community to learn from. I didn’t even know the kind of life I wanted existed. But leaving changed everything. Now I get to move places because I want to learn something new. Because I want to chase joy. Because the version of me I used to daydream about? I get to be her. Living abroad gave me the freedom to build a life around hobbies, passions, and growth—not just routine. And yeah, that includes things like scuba diving with sharks in Colombia. Not because I’m lucky. But because I chose it. #digitalnomad #livingabroad #travelandwork #travelcolombia #providenciacolombia #sanandrescolombia #workingremotely #digitalnomadlife
