Their House Isn’t My House

Moving to another country is something that not nearly enough people get to experience in their lifetime. 

Leaving behind everything you know presents an incredible challenge, but also allows you to dig into untapped potential for personal growth.

Jim and May explore some of the pros and cons of living in another country in this week’s episode. They have lived in the US together, and now Puerto Rico, with substantial time in between traveling throughout Mexico. 

They discuss the opportunities for reinventing yourself, becoming more independent, and discovering the history and culture of new places, while still reminding you that sometimes loneliness and culture shock sometimes is part of the journey.

After hearing their experience, hopefully you can try it out for yourself in the future. 

Vale la pena.

Where would you go? Or, if you already live abroad, can you relate?
