What resources (books, blogs, services, apps) did you utilize to help you go abroad & thrive abroad?
I took an investing course that has been shockingly helpful over the years. I have a link to the course in my bio but I'm also happy to provide it.
What is the motto (affirmation, prayer, poem, song lyrics, etc.) that you live by?
Prayer. God moved me to Paris so I have to trust God to keep me here.
