Why moving abroad will be your best move. Ever.

Move abroad they said, it will be fun, they said (promised!)

Let's keep it real. Moving abroad is life changing. Dreaming about starting your life from scratch elsewhere may feel fun and exciting. Actually moving abroad and doing it, might feel exciting, but scarily overwhelming. Although getting an (awesome!) job abroad through  us could make your move less overwhelming (), you could still question if it's the right choice to start life elsewhere. Believe it or not, it's your best move. Ever. Here's five reasons why.

The life of a local

It is the first time you set foot in a new country as a (soon-to-be) local. This means you have no pressure on discovering the place. This also means you get to find those hidden gems of the place.

Open up to the new culture you just get to meet and don't stick too much to values and habits you learned from your own culture: you will understand your environment better!

The eyes of a foreigner ️

You don't have to ditch your values and habits to have an amazing experience. It's ok you have your foreigners´eyes. In fact, these enrich your experience even more! You pay attention to details of the country and culture that are new to you. Absorb these, live in the moment and keep looking around.

It's always a good idea to evaluate your impressions and observations. Compare them for yourself, or share with those back at ´home´!

A complete change of scenery

The new place you may now call ´home´ is completely different. This drastic change might feel scary, but let's not get too dramatic (). It's actually an opportunity to change many things at once. You can see it as a good time to finally live the way we have been wanting to. Use it as a moment to prioritize you and the identity you've always wanted to have.

New place, new people, new opportunities ✨

Moving abroad means leaving your trusted environment, including your closest friends and family. However, moving abroad means endorsing in a new environment, full of new people. People of another culture, with other perspectives. Believe it or not, opening up to the new people around you, might not only help you expand your network, but also bring you to new, heartwarming friendships. You have time to find what you want, now you are free of what you had. You can seek for a social network that will genuinely fulfil you and give you all that helps you bloom. A new place, means the opportunity to get closer to new (amazing) people!

A lifelong experience

Moving abroad is an adventure. The best of it, is that it's all yours. Everything you see and feel is your personal experience, which nobody is going to take away from you. Whether your stay is temporary (tip: don't decide this beforehand, you might change your mind ) or long term, you'll experience things that'll be added to your personal luggage. Forever.
