How did a chance encounter in Bangkok lead to a lifelong bond between two kindred spirits? Join us as we follow Sarah and Kuhn's journey from a serendipitous meeting in Thailand to overcoming obstacles and embracing new beginnings together in America. Kuhn experienced significant culture shock when he moved from Bangkok to rural Oklahoma. The open skies and sparse population felt overwhelming after a lifetime in crowded Bangkok. As an immigrant, Kuhn had to adjust to many differences in American culture and values. Over time, Kuhn adapted to American culture, he appreciates everything America has to offer while he still feels pride in his Thai heritage. Thank you to our sponsors M&D Drilling!
