"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." - Lao Tzu

It is a strange where life takes you sometimes. I have recently moved out to Germany after being so certain that I was going to settle down in San Francisco. I knew California is where I wanted to be and I knew that I wanted to raise my family there. It is the state that I grew up in and became who I am today. But who I am today isn't about where I was, but where I am going and where I set myself up. It's a scary thought, not knowing where you're going to be. But I believe that it's an even scarier thought to know that you're not going anywhere.

I moved out here for a variety of reasons. I wanted to see if I could handle living abroad again. There is a challenge of transitioning to a platform and grow my skill set in managing a platform. I also looked around and saw that I have this unique opportunity among my friends to live abroad for a few years before settling once and for all. As I write this now, I know that I still want to head back to California and raise my family because I still believe that it gives them the best opportunity to succeed.

I don't know where I will end up, but I do know I made the best decision for myself. I will take it slowly, schritt für schritt.
