续写原题 The year 2013 marked a turning point in my life. In June, my husband was offered a new Job in Ghana. Feeling that I had hit a career bottleneck as a photographer and copywriter(广告文字撰写人), I, without any hesitation, made the decision to relocate with him. While my husband engaged in work, my visa didn't grant me the same privilege. But that was okay. I didn't know what to do anyway. I was left isolated, homesick and lacking purpose.
