    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.

    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.

Hopefully I will complete my degree by the time I turn 30, and have enough of the right work experience to find employment overseas.

    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.

    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.
