Teach, Learn, Share

Get a world atlas. Start looking at every page and tell yourself that you can go there. You can live there.
Are there sacrifices to be made? Of course.
Is it worth it? Absolutely!
The only way you will find out is to get on the plane and go.
And let me tell you something -
That first morning, when you are in your country of choice, away from all of the conventions of atypical, everyday lifestyle, looking around at your totally new surrounding, hearing strange languages, smelling strange, new smells, you will know exactly what I am talking about.
You will fell like the luckiest person in the world.
