The mantra of one expat's life: "With the best intentions, and in a drunken haze, we do things that later seem impossible." It's not easy living abroad; it takes guts, guts to move to another country and make an effort to learn their language. The ups? Seeing the world through new eyes and capturing it, learning what real culture is, getting away from your hometown comfort zone. When it comes down to it though, there really are only two choices: stay in your safe space and never experience anything new or take a chance on something foreign and hope that it works out just fine.
