For a long time, I’ve wanted to be able to spend more than a few days in another country. I wanted to know what it was like to live there, even if it was just for a couple of months. Even better if I had a job, and had to navigate living and working somewhere not in the U.S. Now it looks like that bucket list item is going to happen: I should be spending spring semester 2022 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Looking forward to living in a city on the Silk Road!
