    Followed my then-girlfriend, now-wife on a wing and a prayer from Australia to the US over 20 years ago. Still living in the US and I haven’t caught a bullet yet \o/

      People don’t appreciate how huge a change this is. Especially 20+ years ago, when smartphones weren’t a thing, international phone calls were up to $50 and video calling on a computer was barely possible.

      Leaving your whole life behind to follow a girl on a roll of the dice? Or live forever and wonder “was that the one”?

      I’m super happy it worked out for you!
