Why do you wanna hear my story?

“We owe it to each other to tell stories.” - Neil Gaiman


Since I could read and write, I've always had a passion for stories. I look at the world and see different wonderful stories being and waiting to be told.

Whenever, I tell people that I'm blogging about being an international student, there facial expression changes to one of curiosity. "That's super interesting, I want to read your posts to see what it's about for you," they say as they ask me to send them the link.

There's always one reader who's going to be fascinated by your story.
So I, owe it to you to tell you my story, not just because others find it interesting but because I also believe it is and like I've said before, it's worth sharing and definitely worth reading.

People already have a their own opinions of what being an international student is about with the aid of several articles, sometimes listing the various benefits of studying abroad as well as some of the mistakes made by international students.



Hopefully, through this blog you will be able to see that there'll always be something new to discover.
You will be able to go through the wonderful and trying experiences I've gone through. There will be days that the experience of being an international will seem like a Hollywood movie and call to you and there are days when you're gonna wonder how we get through.

If you're an international student, you're probably going to laugh and maybe relate to some of the things I highlight here. Or, you might go 'What is she writing about? I've never experienced those things!' But it will still be a subject that you will know and will call to you as you also have a direct interest in the topic.

But my story in itself is interesting whether you're directly related to the topic or not. It's an adventure and it is human nature to love things that have a climax; that really interesting point that retains our attention. I am hoping my blog will be that for you. A place you turn to when you want to discover a story other than yours; when you want to indulge in the simple things that make up my life as an international student.
