Live abroad

Since the age of 16 years old, I've dreamed of living in another country. Maybe it is because I don't like the way some things are dealt with in my country, maybe it's the desire of knowing something different from what I've used to. I really don't know. But I do know I want to live abroad at least for some years of my life.

“It's better to regret what you have done than what you haven't.”

Because of the above I have been trying to think about some of the things that living in another country would mean for me:

• Getting out of my comfort zone. The process of adapting myself to a new home will help me to discover more about myself. Besides the more you know the more creative you are ;)
• Learn to be alone. I think a huge amount of people are not able to be alone and deal with loneliness and I really believe this is a critical skill in the world we live these days.
• Learn new languages. I have realized that the best way to learn something is by using it in my everyday life.
• Discover new cultures & people. There is always something you can learn from other points of view. Another good motive for this is to practice tolerance which I consider a very important skill too.
• In addition to the last one, by moving abroad,  I will be able to identify differences between how cultures deal with everyday problems.
• Also, there are a lot of great opportunities out there waiting for qualified people, so it would be very stupid to limit my range of action to just one place.
• The last reason I came up with right now is that sometimes I feel I don't belong to the place I live. I refuse to be part of 'Pensée unique' but looks like I'm the only one worried about this in the place I am right now.

I am sure that I would find even more reason but with all these ones in mind I am already taking action to fulfill my desire of living abroad :)
