How to live in another country
It made me
Happy!
 "Best experience of my life!"
How I did it: I lived in London for a year (from the US originally) for graduate study. I applied for grad school in England thinking that it was a real long shot but then I got accepted to a great school. I had always lived in small towns so it was huge for me to move by myself to London. I just reached inside and believed in myself in spite of at first being scared out of my wits. Lessons & tips: Believe in yourself. Going to school in the UK is a great way to get over there. If you decided to work after your study you are allowed a 2-year extension of your visa. Resources: Some professors that believed in me and gave me confidence to apply. Loan money. Courage. |

How I did it: I was born there. And from what I was told, and from what I've seen going back to visit, it sucks. The U.S. is so much better.

How I did it: I didn't say no when the opportunity arose. It helps that I feel most comfortable when I am in a new place. My long term relationship brought me to a new country.

I can definitly say that it was the most learning experience I have ever done. I haven’t developped myself in any way as intens as by living abroad for a few months.

The Plan
2 months ago
The Plan was to move to Dubai for a couple of years, ultimately to emigrate to Canada once we’ve completed our degree’s. Funny thing is, seems everyones moving to Canada. (I hope they don’t run out of space!) If thats the case, perhaps we should just stay here lol
Experiencing other cultures
2 months ago
I think it’s fascinating to experience other cultures and really understand how they live and relate to one another. I would love to live in other countries for six months to a year at a time to really get to know the place and people. Countries may include Canada, UK (again), France (I know a little French), Italy, Germany, Holland, China, Tahiti, Australia, New Zealand, Peru. No specific plans right now, just something I’d love to do at some point.

Relying on some other goals first...

This goal could be easy to complete, assuming that I complete another goal that I have… becoming a JAG officer. If there is anything that can help you move to another country, it is the military. The Navy has some great base locations overseas too.
