I feel personally obliged to record the preparations, events and such of my journey toward Aotearoa. At the inception of this blog, I’m currently residing in Japan under the sponsorship of my military father. The status of my existence is a working student, seriously contemplating a major turn in my life. Such a decision rests considerably on this tentative journey in discernment of whether or not I am meant to head in this direction I have in mind. With the help of therapeutic blogging, I hope to leave a literary mark as a memory of the pursuit to travel an ocean's distance away from my family to a country I only know of from literature, music, images and a friendly local’s point of view.

From the essence of a young Catholic woman of one score and four months, with the verve of a nurturing cosmopolitan, here are my humbly stated personal thoughts and account of events.
