It starts with a feeling that morphs into a moving plan. Somewhere in the world has attracted your attention and now you'd like to call that place home.
This is what I love about your newsletter. I try and imagine what it will be like living in a different country.
I came across the opposite you did. I polled at least 20 friends and random people that I used to work with (some that came here to the US on work visas) and all said they wouldn't move to a foreign country, and those who came here wanted to stay, or go back home but wouldn't try another place.
Challenge and change drive me. Stale and little to no change sucks the life out of me. I want to be that person who follows through with my dream of living in a foreign country, even at 66. I'm married only 4 years, for the first time. I married a man who has never moved out of this area (we currently live in) except for a short time 40 years ago. I'm not certain how or if this will work out for us. But he's willing to keep an open mind, so that's a start... now executing the plan may pise a different problem... as you mentioned some people aren't driven by change. In the meanwhile I'm happy I found your newsletter and for now I'll be happy reading and living vicariously through you until a decision is made, one way or the other. You posed some great points on whether it can work or not, it's not for everybody. Great read. Thank you.
The challenge is what I live for, but I must admit at first without knowing I thought it would be difficult for me (being homesick). Before I knew it I was fully committed to living in Latin America, and now I couldn't imagine returning back to North America. Like they say, tip your toes in and when reading jump on in.
Thank you for reading, and as always I appreciate your feedback.
