After telling a few of my friends, I realized this was not an average decision. I got reactions of shock, excitement, jealousy, and even suspicion. Was this really something that a normal person like me could just GO DO? 

I guess the answer is, I don’t know. I certainly think so! I’m going to try my hardest to make it work, and lead a happy and successful life abroad. To jump in whole heartedly to expat culture and everything the Balinese have to offer. Will I even make it out of the states? Can I actually afford it? Does it make sense?
