I'm much less anxious and more self confident since moving abroad. I now feel like I could fairly easily move to- and live anywhere I choose to, which is incredibly empowering. It's also given me some new sense of perspective, and introduced me to some really cool people, foods, and customs. I'm originally from The Netherlands; I've spent the past two and a half years in Prague, Czech Republic. I moved to Canterbury in the UK two months ago because I was becoming annoyed at not speaking the local language very well, and simply needed a change of environments. I'll probably move somewhere outside of Europe in the future. I think the destination isn't all that important - I've mainly just gone to places I found interesting, and ideally had friends near. I'd absolutely recommend the experience, but do be aware that loneliness, isolation and stress are real issues many expats encounter at some point when moving somewhere new, and it's not talked about as much as it should be. I've found it to be very much worth it though.
