Long Distance Friendship

All smiles for our reunion

I met Natsumi 13 years ago when she was a foreign exchange student from Japan, at my high school in Minnesota. She was fun, energetic and ready to take on the world and live, live, live.

This woman had a major impact on my life- as it was, in large part, due to my friendship with her that I decided to take the leap and do a year abroad in Spain, with AFS Intercultural Programs.

We met up in the middle of Seoul – I hadn’t seen her in 12 years – and yet, it felt as if we’d never stopped hanging out. It was amazing, and I am so glad she met me in Korea.
