Living abroad teaches you something new every day

Take it from people who have been around the block a few times already - whatever you think you know, double it, double it again and then you get a rough estimate of all the things you do not know. Living abroad means coming across something you do not know every day, most days more than once a day. And that doesn't go away. Or if it does, you`ve gotten lazy or have been abroad for 40 years. Maybe. Keeping an open mind is one of the most important things when making a life for yourself in another country and setting yourself up for success. It is hard to always see silver linings, when going through hard times, but if you can keep up the good fight and put one foot in front of the other every single day, then in a year, or two, or five, you will realize how far you`ve become. And if you feel a bit down and need some motivation, this blog post might just give that to you.

So,

• Never stop learning

• Keep an open mind

• Hard times don't last forever

• Ask for help
