Orig based in Arkansas where I grew up, now I live in Colorado. I've done a lot of stints diff places: - A year in Cairo. - A year in Melbourne. - A year in Dublin. - 1.5 years in Europe - 6 months in South America The good IMO opinion is everything, the only downside is building a community and meeting people takes a lot of energy. But looking back I think it takes a lot no matter where you live, it is just easier if you are there all the time. How did it change my perspective? I am a lot more confident in general as I realized I can navigate a huge swath of different cultures and challenges. Knowing you can land just about anywhere in the world and take care of yourself is a good feeling. What else? I see a lot of what other countries are doing well and doing not so well at, when I go home it helps me see what we could be doing better.
