I moved to the US when I was 19. Now I am 34. I have been thinking hard for the past few years about living briefly in Eastern Europe, then somewhere "desertic" in the Middle East, and a full year or more in Southern America (Hello Costa Rica). Living somewhere for a few years in another country is something every man* should do. *I say man because I think it will be hard for safety reasons for women to just pick up and live anywhere. They tend to get harassed a little more frequently.
