Last year, I made the decision to go overseas and teach English as a second language. It is something that I had wanted to do since my cousin went to Japan when I was in high school. When I decided to go, I knew I had a lot of preparations to make and I knew I would rent a self storage unit for my stuff and get rid of my apartment.

I did not figure it would be a good idea to pay rent on an apartment that I am not using when I could rent storage units for my stuff at a fraction of the price. I needed two units to hold all of my boxes and furniture, as I was not sure that I really wanted to get rid of anything.

I had a friend, who happened to own a truck come with me to rent a self storage and he helped me move all of my things into it. I have been here in Asia for over a year now and the decision I now have to make is whether I want this to become permanent.
