2/16/2020 2 Comments Why Letter Writing?Eight years ago I uprooted my life and moved halfway around the world to South Korea, at the time I had no idea how drastically this decision would change my life and I'm forever grateful I made the leap. Living in a foreign country, of course, comes with many challenges, but it also opens your eyes to a new world, culture, foods and ways of life. Throughout my time abroad there was always one constant that grounded me, and that was the occasional letters I would find in my mailbox, sent with love from my Grandmother halfway around the world. While the words on the page were not always exciting, often updates of family back home or a report of her daily activities, they always brought a smile to my face, taking me, at least for a moment, back to her dining room, cheerful smile and warm embrace.
