Imagine going to study abroad in a country after seeing exactly one pamphlet of the city?

Imagine going to live somewhere knowing literally nothing about the language, the country, or the culture?

By all rights, a pretty dumb decision.

And yet, that tiny decision would change the next 20 years of my life.

The reason my wife is Dutch, the reason I wear orange, and the reason so many silly/wonderful memories happened in my life is from that one seemingly random choice.

All the good things in my life have come from taking a chance on the unknown (and often the absurd).
