5 Reasons Why Moving Abroad is Such a Valuable Experience -- And You Should Try AtLeast Once In Your Life

 

Moving abroad.. Starting a new life in a new country.

have you ever thought about it? That's the question I asked my husband. First reaction was kinda impossible. The more I explained, he kinda excited about it. Something we finally glad why we married then, we have a lot of things in common. One of them are; feeling freedom.

Leaving is magical word.

There's love and hate about it; i hate knowing that there will be things from every city, village or island I once called home I'll miss forever

But I love leaving as well. It signifies a fresh start, a departure from the old and the beginning of something new: a challenge, an adventure, the unknown.

But what is so great about moving abroad and starting over?

1. Moving abroad takes you out of your comfort zone

The moment you arrive at your destination your new life starts. Everything is new to you. From the streets you walk on to the food they eat, you get to experience it for the first time.

It sounds like an exciting new adventure! But, unlike the tourists you'll probably see around you, you are charged with errands and chores  and unlike the locals you have no idea how to accomplish anything on your to-do list.

You'll have to figure it all out, over time. And although at times it will feel overwhelming and you will feel hopelessly lost, after a few weeks you'll look back and be amazed at how much you achieved, how much of a life you have already created yourself.

Starting a new life abroad has taken you out of your comfort zone and challenged you to make the most of it and, without realizing it, has shown you what you are capable of doing.

2. Character building

There is certainly no other experience that's going to test you like turning up in a new location and starting a new life. But that's the exciting part. New experiences, new friends, new memories. If you want a new you, moving country is a great way to do it.

"Travel and change of place impart new vigour to the mind" is an often cited and apparently thoughtful quote from Seneca-a wealthy Roman Stoic philosopher and writer. So let's do it and have a fresh start!

3. Enhance your quality of life

When you move abroad, it's highly likely that you're on your own and without a solid network to rely on. So it's very important to take some time and be a little brave when it comes to making new professional connections. Also, you can explore possible ventures into the field of business. The best way is moving abroad to new city.

4. Gaining a global mindset

Moving abroad to a new country will undoubtedly help in developing a global mindset. Having global mindset means gaining cultural awareness, becoming aware of your biases, and becoming great at adapting to people from different cultural backgrounds. 

5. Learning patience

When you live in a new city, there'll always be a learning curve. You're going to get lost a few times on your way back home and communicating with a language barrier and making new friends can be difficult at best. But it's all about pushing through and having the patience to make it through the adjustment period. Like with all things, living abroad gets easier with time.
