The pros and cons of living abroad

Living abroad is very romanticized, but it can be a really tough task to settle into a new place, find friends, learn a language, start a new job, as well as everything else. On the other hand, it can be one of the most rewarding things that a person can do, without a doubt. People discover new friendships, meet the love of their life, find their passion, and much more. It begs the question: is it better to stay or go? It's obviously impossible to answer because it's personal to every person. One individual may have everything they need where they were born, and more power to them. Others may not be as lucky. However, there are certainly some pros and cons to living abroad that people can agree on. To discover them, click through this gallery.
