    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.

    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)
