I get this question a lot when I left my home town for a whole year to live in another country all by myself. I know right? sounds crazy but I did it and I can tell you that it was the best decisión I could ever done.
I went away mostly to find myself and who I wanted to be in life, I was kind of lost because I didnt know which way did I wanted my life to go. I think traveling really open my mind to the fullest.
But anyways what Im trying to say is that if you have ever thought about this, you are in a transition of whatever your reason is, dont be afraid JUST DO IT!!!
How?
1. Plan, thats like the very first thing you have to think. Plan where,when and how you are going. Are you taking some clases abroad? Are you going with a family memeber? How long? Plan what you think is necesary to stick to your goal. For example when I left home over a year ago, I planned everything, first my destiny which it was NYC, then where I was going to live and how I was going to make money to survive a whole year as I was going to be in charge of everything, so I just because I wanted to be safe and comfortable as it was my first time doing something like this byt myself, and Im not going to lie but Im a huge planner so this was my way just to be determinated to do this and not backing down.
2. I guess is very important as well and it should be telling your parents, because I think they deserve it and they care the most out of everybody so at the end all you need is their support. Im not saying they are going to be thrilled at first, it might take some time to them to take it.
3. Always remember that this has its ups and downs, I have to say living in another country by yourself is hard and I perfectly now that, I pass the worst days ever but as well as the best, there are going to be times that you will consider going back. But don't you will never ever going to regreat this.
4. And I guess my last is that enjoy yourself, think, dream, aspire, create or try to be more creative expand your horizons, meet new people, be open minded, be happy, be emotional as well, find yourself, loose yourself and then find yourself again, take time to appreciate life.
Doing this will open your mind and make you change, I know changing is a process and Im still changing but Im a lot myself than I was a year ago, I believe in me, Im way more confident than I was and I want to be a better person
