And I did it without even trying or even realizing.
It’s simple really, just move to a new country, where you don’t speak the language, hook up with someone from a different culture, and let the stress of moving, studies, coping with a new relationship, living on a budget, cooking and cleaning for two and etc. take its toll on your body.
Hmm…I still can’t decide if it was all worth it.
well…there’s a reason why bali’s still my best holiday to date…haha.
but to be honest, the turmoil i went through after that…might not be all that worth it. i’m still 50-50 on whether it’s worth it or not…but a part of me would still like to do it again… >:)
