When he asked you where you wanted to go, were you thrilled or maybe a little scared since it was unexpected?
Both! This was pre-zoom time so I was talking with the director over a webex call without video, and I remember I was doing the excited jazz hands motion by myself in a conference room. I only felt the nerves when the wheels actually started turning and the actual process started, which was a couple of months later, because that's when I knew for sure it was actually happening. I just told myself this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I would be stupid to not take it even if I was uncertain of what will happen. Besides, if it doesn't work out, I can always go back home.
Which countries did you move from and to?
I'd rather not say, but somewhere in Asia to the US.
