Barely Made It Out

July 19, 2021

We made it! Back on home soil. Barely… It was a dramatic ordeal to get out of the country. But first, to catch you up: As we mentioned in our last email, the process of leaving was quite complex and there were lots of cultural expectations. Thankfully we were able to fulfill most […]
