❤️ PROS & CONS of living abroad 💔 📍 [ save this post if you’re thinking of moving abroad! ] Last year I moved to Queenstown NZ for work & for life experience, and I never knew then that this would be the start of my life abroad! While this has been one of the most incredible journeys of my life, let me tell you a little bit more about what you might expect; PROS: ❤️ FREEDOM & INDEPENDENCE - stepping away from the norm and seeing the world for yourself is the ultimate example of freedom. You’re able to make any and all decisions for yourself! ❤️ PERSONAL GROWTH & CLARITY - exploring new cultures, perspectives and experiences help you to better understand what it is you want in life and who you want to be. ❤️ ADAPTABILITY - one of the key things you learn when living abroad is the ability to adapt to change. Nothing is ever constant, and living abroad is one way to quickly become more comfortable with that fact. CONS: 💔 FOMO - you can’t be around for everything. You’ll miss your friends, and your family. 💔 UNCERTAINTY - It can be a difficult concept to grasp that you might not know where your future is leading. Living abroad brings a lot of uncertainty and unfamiliarity. 💔 FEELING ALONE - whether you move overseas solo or not, the feeling of being alone comes along no matter where you are in life.
