In this very first episode of Cross-Cultural Stories, I share my personal journey of leaving behind a stable job at a major company in South Korea to start a new life in the United States. It’s a story of courage, confusion, culture shock — and the quiet strength it takes to rebuild from scratch in a foreign land.

I talk about what it really means to “start over” in your 30s, how I dealt with fear and doubt, what surprised me the most about living in America, and how my identity shifted between home and abroad.

This episode isn’t just about one person’s journey — it’s for anyone who has ever stood at the edge of the known world and asked: Is it worth it to begin again?

从韩国大厂裸辞赴美的追梦中国人，我都经历了什么？

如果你也曾在深夜问自己：“我到底想要怎样的人生？”那这一集可能会让你感到共鸣。

我叫Ray，在韩国一家大企业工作近两年后，选择裸辞、搬到美国斯坦福，从零开始重建身份与生活。这一集，我想与你分享这个选择背后的挣扎与勇气，从“安稳”的轨道走出来之后，我经历了经济的压力、身份的转变、找工作的焦虑，也感受到了新世界带来的自由与可能。

这是一个关于转身、关于重新开始、关于在他乡寻找自我的故事。如果你正在考虑改变，或者也站在人生的十字路口，希望这个声音能陪你一段路。
