From Stretch: It’s February! And that means Valentine’s Day! A day to spend with your loved one…who is ten thousand kilometers away. Oh. So instead, Meagan and I decided that we would present a monthlong ‘survival guide’ about relationships abroad. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Ref: Parents So for the most part I try to keep the comic light-hearted, but I also do want it to represent what living abroad is like and this is one of the drawbacks. If I were home, I’d be […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
