Worth remembering that “Going to Rome” has a very different feel to it if you live in Terni vs if you live in Whichita, Kansas. One is a day trip to shop, the other might be an adventure of a lifetime. I was born in an East European country and I worked a few years in New York. Many people back at home react to this fact as if I made it. As if shoveling software on Lafayette street makes you a better software engineer than doing the same on the Rákóczi Körút. On the other hand for many people living and working in New York is nothing special. They were born there, it is their normal. I for one think where you were is not as important as what you made of your time there.
