About

After We Have Left Our Homes is taken from the title of a Mute Math song in which the lyrics pose the question “When can we start over?” In many ways, traveling to foreign places can feel like starting over. Our perspectives are bound to be challenged, and we often leave behind what we thought we knew.

I’m Sarah Costantino, a 20-something moving from the U.S. to South Korea to teach English. The intention of this blog is to share my experiences traveling outside my home country for the first time, joined by the voices of my friends and fellow travelers who know how to follow their curiosity into unfamiliar territory. 즐기다 (Enjoy!)
