Have you ever looked back at your journey and noticed how some small decisions ended up changing your life in big ways? From the street you decided to turn down one day that leads you to find a cute new café, to turning down a job offer and later having the opportunity to get a better one. Or perhaps changing the destination of your month abroad can lead you to meet the love of your life...That's exactly what happened to Taylor Kane.Taylor had never dreamed about living abroad, and when she decided to spend one month overseas during college, Prague wasn't even her first choice. She was thinking about Amsterdam. But she changed her mind after following her uncle's advice — and during her very first week there, she met Mark.It has been seven years since her life took that turn, and now she is building a life with him in Prague.Besides chatting about her love story and the decision-making process that led her to take a leap of faith and bet on this relationship, we also talk about how living abroad challenged some of the beliefs she grew up with in the United States, how moving away actually improved her relationship with her mom, and what she has learned about independence and trusting herself.She also shares some useful advice about the importance of building your own friendships and community, and making sure the life you're creating abroad also feels like yours.Connect with Taylor:Packing Up and Peacing Out PodcastInstagram @TaylorTakesPrague TikTok @taylortakespragueConnect with Transplants:Follow on IG https://www.instagram.com/transplants.podSubstack/newsletter - https://wearetransplants.substack.com/Laura's IG https://www.instagram.com/laura_peruchiFollow on TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@wearetransplantsQuestions, suggestions, or random thoughts you’d like to share?
