Living in a foreign country

Have you ever thought of settling in your dream country? It is undoubtedly a big decision to make, but it can often change your life for the better.
One of the main advantages is that it gives you the opportunity to experience an entirely different way o life which can be a valuable form of education. Moreover, one is given the chance to learn and become more fluent in another language through every day use. In addition, many people become more independent and self reliant by having to cope with difficult situations on their own. Finally, living in a country with different climate can prove benefice to both one’s health and state of mind. On the other hand, even if you try your hardest to adapt to your new surroundings it is likely that you will often experience moments of isolation, frustration and loneliness. This can be caused by communication problems, especially if you cannot speak the language yet. What is more, finding a job can often be a stressful experience as in some countries foreigners are not easily accepted. In my view, living successfully in a foreign country depends on the individual. The more effort that is made to take part and become part of one’s new surroundings, the more welcome and comfortable one will fell.
