Living Overseas : I will be turning 30 in a few weeks... in France!
3:03 AM
When you're living abroad, your concept of time changes... Time flies really quickly, twenty four hours a day is not enough for me. More so, life back home goes by faster and the next thing I know, my nephews and my
nieces are not young kids anymore. However hard it is, the fact
that life goes on for the people I left behind is something I have learn
to accept.
And I will tell you, living abroad
isn't like going on a vacation when all you have to do is to pack your bags.
No, you need to pack and bring with you the determination, emotional and psychological
strength. Imagine leaving everything you've grown to love and cherish for a
long time? That's seriously tough! Imagine missing those special days that
supposed to be enjoyed with your loved ones? Okay, that's the toughest!
So here, a big tap on the shoulders to all the brave ones… Of course, I
am giving one to myself for a "so far" job well done!
I honestly didn't imagine that I will be celebrating my 30th birthday 6,672 miles away from my family and friends. But here I am, building my own family and working for our future.

I will be contributing to the HIFX Expat Tip page (see
here)
which aims to offer advice to those looking to move abroad, so if
you're planning to live miles away from your homeland, you should swing by their
page for further tips and advice from other expat experts. If your dream is to move abroad, make it happen. Start slow, test the waters and see how far it'll take you. Importantly, be brave and have the
courage to pursue that dream. ♥
Love, Cynthia
