About two weeks before I was scheduled to fly to Europe, I found a post about a guy who traveled the world, and to reassure his mom that he was okay, he would post pictures holding a sign that said, “Mom, I’m Fine.” I thought I should do the same thing.

When I hold up my banner for a picture, I usually get a lot of weird looks. I can tell who can read English because they usually start laughing after a few seconds.
