Have you ever had a dream that appeared to be both amazing and yet unrealistic? A dream that both excited and terrified you at the same time.

I remember sitting in pre-field training over a year ago as we talked about all of the different elements involved as you make your transition from your home country to your new host country. Of course, at the time I had no idea that one of the largest factors of that transition would be left out completely, but not even a global pandemic could stop my moving to Wales.
