    I can totally understand this "travelling bug". I'm from France and I went on Erasmus in Groningen in my third year of my Bachelor's studies. Then, I didn't want to go back to France so I moved to Ireland where I worked as a French Language Assistant and as an au-pair. And finally, I moved to Germany last summer to re-start my studies. Now I think I'm gonna stay here as I moved here with my Italian partner whom I met two years ago during my Erasmus. Living abroad was one of the best choices of my life.

    I studied abroad in France my junior year of college and had such an amazing time! Not saying it was always easy, but I learned so much and grew so much as a person. In fact, I decided my time abroad wasn't finished yet, and I just moved back to France! I'm posting all about it on my channel if anyone is interested :)

    I do now a study abroad in Germany. Which is coming to an end. I've grown a lot, since During covid I didn't really grow because of me not able to be a "student". Now I was dorms, bring uncomfortable, with German roommates, I learned so much.
    So much that I want to go to do my masters abroad. Not because I need the degree, but for the expierence. And self Growth. I am Asian, and I never thought of "personal growth", but this is my time to grow. One day I'll be 40-50 years, and then I'll wished I had made these expierence. In top of that, I would have a nice masters degree haha.

    I do believe it's so important to see the world and come to your own conclusions. One thing i realize is that i don't want to have regrets, and i don't want to come to conclusions until every part of me has been challenged. If the door opens, then go :) if not, then that's fine too. just go and allow yourself to be challenged and uncomfortable (with reason tho of, LOL)

      Unfortunately yes. Here the public safety network does not work as it should. Thefts e murders are recurrent, especially in big cities.

      Why not!? I think going anywhere different can be interesting. Even just another city in your own country. New experiences are new experiences !

    Does anyone know, is it allowed to use this video on my website? It won't be the main content, of-course. But I am really impressed with what she said and want to embed it on my website. Because it's relevant to my website content. Thank you in advance.
