Why Living Abroad Will Change Your Life

11 Aug

I have always been curious about the world! At 18, I packed my bag and moved abroad to work for the first time, all by myself…

What I did not know then, was that decision would change my life in so many ways! Many years later, after living in different countries, here is why I think you should go for it too:

You grow as a person!

When you live in a new country, every small thing teaches you something! You figure out how the buses work, how to order your favourite coffee in another language, how to read a landlord’s contract… and before you know it, you have become more confidence. Each little problem you solve adds up until one day you realise you can handle SO MUCH MORE than you thought.

You step out of your comfort zone!

Moving abroad can feel scary first, and will put you in situations you have never been in before, that is how you learn and grow!

You get new ideas and new ways of thinking!

Life abroad gives you experiences that no one else has in exactly the same way. You mix cultures, habits, and ideas in ways that will make you able to think outside the box!

You learn about yourself through other people!

When you meet people from different backgrounds, they become a mirror you did not know you needed! The way they see the world, and the way they see you, reflects parts of yourself and you all of a sudden start to notice them and grow as a person.
