Good comment. I worked in USA 25 yrs ago and experienced this. The key thing I think, as you alluded to, is do it for a limited time. If you're in a country which makes it hard to stay for good, or you deep down know you wouldn't want to if you could, then it's a temporary adventure and in the end the need to go "back home" or else feel rootless. In my case probably working abroad delayed meeting "the one", getting married and having kids. So now I'm an older Dad than ideally I would've been for our kids. Its not the end of the world, there are some advantages of being an older parent, but some downsides too. Also some people may delay life to the point where they don't manage to marry and have kids, which is sad if that was something they would've wanted. OTOH if you've got the itch, not going to work abroad is no good either ;). I wouldn't have missed that adventure for the world :)
