When I think about the things I “gave up” to move abroad I can’t help but compare this list to the reason I initially wanted to make the move from the start.
As a single mom I made this decision with my BLACK son in mind. Now I’ll be the first to say that moving abroad was stressful and a bit scary. But I believe that exposure to thing you’re scared of is a solution. (Not the only solution, but one). And although our transition out of the U.S. was not a seamless process I’d do it all over again. Because the knowledge that I’ve gained since moving abroad has only strengthened my knowledge and confidence for our next move.
On the other side of the coin there’s what I’ve gained. So here’s a little peak into what that looks like.
✨A Peace of Mind
✨A Higher Level Of Confidence & Self Esteem
✨Mental clarity
✨Healthier Food Options
✨Expanded Cultural Awareness
✨A Greater Perspective of the World
✨Invaluable New Perspective on Life
✨Improved Language Skills
