The idea? Pure musing. The desire for adventure. The longing to be a part of the bigger world and making a contribution to it. The chancenter to learn more about myself and my wife as individuals and ourselves as a couple. The lure and romanticism of the exotic. All of those things and more. Canada, while a safe bet and a cool idea, doesn't really offer a lot of that. It's like America version 2.1. So, it kind of doesn't count.

Now, don't get me wrong, it's not like I hate living in America and want to bail out. I absolutely love this country with all of my heart. It is so rich and diverse, culturally and geographically and it has so much to offer. The idea though, of moving to another country, is like an adventure and a half.
