I left to live abroad and it was the best decision of my life. Interestingly, leaving made me appreciate certain things about the Bay Area more, just not enough to move back.
The good thing is that if you leave and don't find you're happier wherever you go, you can always go back.
- deadmutex 5y ago> leaving made me appreciate certain things about the Bay Area more. What did you miss? The weather?
- LurkingPenguin 5y agoYes the weather is one (I've spent most of my time since in really humid places). The hiking. The proximity to both mountains and sea. Restaurants and bars I had gone to for years. And of course friends. But the upside is that coming back to visit is really great. I get to enjoy the things I miss and leave before all the things I hated come to the fore.

- jameshush 5y agoAgree. I left California for Taiwan on Christmas (time flies!) and have zero regrets. I’ve doubled my life style and halved my costs. If you’re even remotely thinking about moving abroad remember: you’ll never have MORE time and LESS responsiblity than _right now_.
- LurkingPenguin 5y agoI'm in Taiwan too :) Cheers!
- throwaway675309 5y agoThat's great. Taiwan hadn't closed its borders due to COVID by then? I lived in the Taipei area for three years and it was one of the best times of my life, looking to return but the visa situation has been so dicey lately...
