100% true, had this thought a few months ago, in that your place of birth is not necessarily "your home". I like your analogy, about how we shop around for other things, but not so much our "home country". I have been wondering about this for a while now - yes things are tough globally with high inflation, cost of living, etc, but yes, you wont know unless you really try.
I've had this exact talk with my mom so many times. My mindset is to take the leap and make the move. If I don't enjoy it, I can always return back home. But if I don't even attempt to make it work, I feel like I'll always regret it later in life. Also, you talked about it in the video, being uncomfortable invites growth. It should be seen as an opportunity instead of an obstacle Take care Busi :)
I think the “permanency” we’ve somehow places on relocating is what makes some people view it as a negative thing (if it doesn’t quite work out they way they thought it would). You definitely can move back home if that’s what you see works best for you. Hopefully your mom will look at it from a different perspective one day 💙
Hello Mam, how are you? I am a regular viewer of your RUclips channel. I came here to say that- "Your channel always leaves me excited for the next upload!" Good Luck
Personally, I would say money is often the stumbling block. To travel to a few countries to "sass out" if that country would be ideal for one's family might be a costly exercise. Secondly, our background plays a vital role in our decision-making. Not being exposed to possibilities of moving out of the country doesn't become an option or thought when you don't have the information. We usually work with what we have.
Really great points you bring up that are true. I personally don’t think visiting a place gives you an accurate view of what life living there will be like. Tourists experience places very differently to locals in many ways. Our minds definitely open up a lot more when we see what’s possible, usually through seeing others. I wonder how curiosity could be fostered for people to do things they haven’t yet seen done by others around them. And have more people take on opportunities that come their way. A lot don’t because of various reason i.e. scared of the unknown, not wanting to leave familiar places or people etc. A lot of the stumbling blocks some people face are more mental, then they find outside factors to point to that might not be as much of a hurdle as they think it is.
Hi busi Love your videos I’ve been following you from the beginning and with your help I’m going to be moving abroad soon I wanted to know if you could do a video on when you first entered Canada like obviously you guys didn’t take furniture so my question is like did you guys stay at a hotel till you found a place and stuff like that
Hey, glad to hear you’ve been finding the content I’ve shared helpful. We booked an AirBnb for a month while we looked for a long term place to live in. At the time, Airbnb gave discounts for month long stays, not sure if they still do that. It’s been over 5 years since we moved.
Hi Busi How does one visit Toronto? I want to convert my drivers license, do you have maybe information on how long does it take to have a Toronto Ontario driver license?
Hi, if you're not a resident or citizen of Canada, you need a valid visa that would allow you to visit Canada to be able to go to Toronto. I have videos about converting a foreign drivers license on the channel already. How long it takes would depend on when you're able to get dates to complete required tests (and being eligible legally to get an Ontario drivers license).
I hear you. There’s people who will never explore the bigger world around them because they see it as not being loyal to the place they were born (life is viewed from different perspectives). People can still be patriotic towards their country of birth even while living somewhere else though. Sometimes even more than people who have never left their home country. E.g. Part of being patriotic includes an attachment to one’s home language, there’s people living in their countries of birth who stop speaking their home language and don’t even teach it to their children or grandchildren while some living elsewhere still take preserving it seriously. The country you’re born in can remain your identity while you explore the big world we live in as humans.

It's the patriotic ideal. The country you were born in becomes your identity, good bad or ugly
