Life abroad is never for the faint heart. Youll be out of your comfort zone out of the familiar, safe place youre used to. There are times that you will just cry for no apparent reason. Youll get frustrated a lot of times. Youll even start giving up on yourself. And youll start questioning if youve really made the right decision. What thoughts can you share about living away from your family and work abroad?
For me it's a matter of perspective and why you do it. I've spent a few years abroad. It was hard right off the bat. But as you go on, you adjust, you adapt and then you thrive. I guess what helped me adapt is to keep a certain part of home alive in your place. Rituals, activities and such could help alot. Mine is cooking delicacies and comfort food from home. After that, if like myself you live alone, you get into a hobby or any self improving activity. Once that happens it would really be a piece of cake working abroad.
