My (ex-expat) Millennial Life

Newly repatriated American after two years in corporate Asia. These are my coming of age antics, well-intentioned cultural misadventures, and conversations of record. Team America was my ragtag surrogate family during my time abroad - we worked and played and traveled together. This content is not reflective of or affiliated with my employer.

A month ago...

Author is on an airplane bound for Mexico to chase some sun and attend a wedding for Team Mexico*…

Seatmate: Do you know how long the flight is?

Author: Oh. I’m not sure. I’m bad at checking unless it’s over, like, eight hours. I think this is maybe four hours?

Seatmate: Okay. Thank you.

Author was somehow right. The flight was four hours.

*Team Mexico and Team Korea are getting married!
