USA:

I grew up in India, where moving to the USA was the dream for most people I knew! We had the privilege of moving here 11 years ago, and it’s been a wonderful experience. We are so very grateful for all the books we have been able to read here, thanks to the fantastic libraries, all the national parks we have been able to enjoy and of course, for the opportunity to homeschool our kids, which is so much easier in the USA than in other countries.

Here’s to the land of opportunities!
