Mission Statement
Tuesday, November 17, 2009 by Matt Mercier
Now that the Cat is out of the bag about my relocation, I feel I should no longer hesitate to document this event, one of the biggest of my life thus far. I will be officially relocating to Tasmania, arriving after a long flight on January 14th, 2010.
I am starting this blog to record this event, and to document what I think will be a profound and life changing experience. I grew up in a town called Bowdoinham Maine, and lived what can safely be described as an isolated and sheltered childhood. Until a 2003 I don't think I could point out Tasmania on a map, much less tell you anything about it. Now I am moving there with my Wife, who is Tasmanian herself.
The reasons for this move, and what it will undertake are why I have begun to write this down. Many people have asked me the following questions:
Why are you moving to Tasmania?
Where exactly are you moving?
What will you do there?
Will you come back?
I will address these in this blog, and also hopefully, will gain some insight into what a move like this will require of me. It is just under two months until I land in Tasmania, bags in hand, to settle down and begin living as an expat, in a town where I will quite possibly the only person from my country. A rather unlikelly Ambassador.
