How to live overseas
It made me
more mature. 
"I was stationed in Berlin, Germany while serving in the USAF."
How I did it: Well, first I learned Russian, and then they paid for everything. I worked hard while there and only wanted to come back to the states. Looking back though, I like Germans more than I like Americans (who tend to be arrogant and self-centered). And I learned a lot from living in that culture and working with the RAF.
Lessons & tips: Learn the language. Nobody wants to talk to you if you are living in their country and don't speak their language. At least TRY!

I See London I See France
5 months ago
So, my girlfriend is English and also speaks fluent French and lived there for a year. We’re going to have to do the whole green card dance back and forth for a bit but I’m hoping this will mean that I will be spending some time living overseas for a bit with her. I think living in England, France or Switzerland would be my top living choices.

I want to see the world, not only for trevelling but spending sometimes longer. I have been living in Thailand for 30 years and want to have life experience overseas.

Have to get the guts up
11 months ago
I think the first place of choice would be the US where i’ll have external family support. My problem is that i have pets that i don’t feel comfortable leaving behind or taking along with me. So until they kick the bucket (sounds terribly evil), this will be a goal about 10 years in the making. I’ve told myself no more pets after this, so that can’t hold myself back anymore.

Exchange?
15 months ago
Apparently the law program has an exchange opportunity in England, that I am very willing to do.
Croatia?
16 months ago
A friend of mine said he might enter the program where you teach English overseas. His two country choices are Croatia and S. Korea. Korea sounds like an adventure, although, more isolating, and Croatia is simply beautiful. It sounds like an amazing adventure but I also feel like I would be holding up my life for a year if I was to do this.
I would really like to get my life and my career going and I am not sure that teaching would contribute to that. It would be an amazing experience for me and my mind…but it seems like I need to find some other way to work overseas…or for it to be in a country I absolutely can not pass up living in. Hmmm.

Here we are!

We’ve been in Japan for about two weeks, with 2 years and 50 weeks to go… at least!!! I’m going to mark it as complete, though it’s more “in progress.”
Yay!

I spent 18 months living and teaching in South Korea. It was stressful at times, often confusing, and sometimes frightening and depressing. It was also one of the best times of my life. It allowed me to save more money than I would in Canada, and experience a completely different method of living. The pros by far outweigh the cons, and I have nary a regret for doing what many people will say was a waste of my time.

Japan!
20 months ago
Ooooook… life has been exceptionally busy for my family as we are definitely, most assuredly, our-stuff-is-already-there-edly moving to Japan in November.
w00t!!!!!!
I guess sometime in December I can mark this as complete or change it to “Share my experiences about living overseas?!”
I’m in that amazingly excited, yet horrified stage. Yay!
