I said those words in November 2016. So did a lot of other Americans: so many, in fact, that Canada's immigration website crashed as votes were being tallied due to increased traffic. No joke.
Upon my departure, I didn't have much of a plan other than the intention to spend some time slowly exploring Asia and teaching English when I needed to make money. This no-plan thing was out of character for me.
Seven years later, I'm still living happily outside the US. While my decision to leave opened up a horizon of experiences beyond my wildest dreams and led me to the man of my dreams, it hasn't all been a bed of roses.
The first year, I lived off savings while traveling slowly through Asia. I started my travels in India, where I spent 10 days at a silent meditation retreat.
