00:00thank you and you were born and raised in philadelphia then at 25 you packed up and moved
00:05to costa rica most people would have called that crazy what was going through your mind
00:10was it fear excitement or something else entirely different two types of butterflies you have one
00:16if you're standing on heights and you don't want to jump off a bridge but then there's other
00:20butterflies you have when you ask your crush the dance and then you fall in love and have
00:24the greatest life you could ever have and so yeah this was a good butterfly this was a thing that
00:29i
00:29knew that i was doing the right thing but juliet i was also working on a second language that
00:36i had as as a backup for me so when i moved to costa rica spanish was my major in
00:42college
00:44so i was able to i guess blend a little bit better than some people do that might need extra
00:50assistance
00:50or not really being able to integrate into a society but you find the areas in which you feel
00:57comfortable you keep an open mind and you learn a culture and then the next thing you know your
01:03life becomes that much richer and so it's a it's a nice game to play yeah and you described it
01:09as a
01:09spiritual vision quests that came true
01:12you
