own fewer things. If you know you're there for a short period of time, you bring little and you buy little. A much easier way to live (smaller place, cheaper, less clutter)

for me traveling is the only purpose in life ive found that makes sense, just staying one place working getting wealthier a family then dying just doesnt seem like something i want to do
Well I do know about you, but personally I enjoy living in a country without fear of being invaded. Germany doesn’t have nuclear weapons, because based on what happened in ww2, they signed a treaty that doesn’t allow them to have nuclear weapons, for fear of something like ww2 happening again. Also, Germany is our Allie, so as long as we have a super powerful military that can back them up, they have no need to invest a ton in their military.
Great video :D I' going to move to Toronto this September for 9 months. I've always dreamed of living abroad for as long as I can think and now that I've graduated I've decided that now is the time. Everybody keeps asking me if I'm nervous or something but if truth be told I can't wait. I think it's incredibly important to do something on your own and leave everything you know behind.
Wow, I really agree with the "You start listening to your own voice in your head" in the new city. It's like it just popped up in my head out of nowhere.
thank you, thank you for this video. I'm from Syracuse, NY but have been living between France and Germany for over 6 years now. Some days can be so challenging that I forget why I wanted to move abroad in the first place, but your video is a really fresh and positive reminder of all of the good aspects of living abroad. thank again. :)
hello, im thinking about learn germany and search another country to live, im Portuguese and im totaly lost here, i'am 23 and i see no future in this country, how hard is learn German? learning that language will open me lot of doors, i really believe and thanks for your comment, and for ur future reply to this
It would be great if I had enough money to be able to move overseas. My family is poor and I am a university student. Work is also hard to find in my area, even menial jobs like cleaning. Hopefully I will complete my degree by the time I turn 30, and have enough of the right work experience to find employment overseas.
Jeff Donlon Besides money, this is my problem too. Idk how to meet new people there or friends or something. I guess bars or maybe go college there and then to find friends but its still kinda scary in someway
Spoken from a place of honesty and passion, i could see how you lit up when you spoke about South Korea and how it brought you and your mom close. I hope you've found what you've been "looking" for and your happy how your journey has shaped you and your perspective on life. I truly enjoyed watching you speak, calm and fruitful . Im planning on moving to Canada next year (2021) to work and study and i now know i will be doing the best decision moving abroad!
I have lived, worked and studied for 9 years in 4 foreign countries and now I have family in a 5th. I speak 8 languages and counting. My parents are now close to 70 and unfortunately I am stuck between Brexit and coronavirus so I am stranded. The only airline with direct flights to my hometown has scrapped the same due to a tourism industry badly affected by quarantine periods and what previously was a 2-hour flight now takes the same time as going to Japan. Living abroad is a must for your personal growth but after a while it is not worth it. Or at least not worth it in England and the nationalistic post-COVID world.
I've lived abroad twice (in the Middle East) and after taking a big break I'm ready to live abroad again but this time in Canada. I'm so ready and so excited. The hard part is leaving my family and partner behind, but at the end of the day, I've got to do what's best for me.
It depends on the job you want and what you are willing to do. Teaching English abroad is not hard pretty much anywhere. Also, you can find jobs on cruise ships or other little jobs. It is actually much easier than it seems as long as you are willing to do what it takes. Also, the country where you are from changes things and where you want to go.
It's really easy to teach English abroad. However, it gets old very fast and my experience has been that it's not really a job that promotes stability. The pay can fluctuate a lot as you often work by contract. The only English teachers that I have met abroad that had financially stable situations have been the ones that were already married to someone who had a decent paying job..... :-/ Hopefully this comment will come in useful to someone. I honestly wish people would have been blunter with me regarding teaching English abroad.
