Best decision of my whole life so far. It requires attaining an incredible amount of humility, selling everything, even that couch you like. You probably won't be back and storage costs a fortune, basically get rid of all of your material possessions. That's really by far the hardest part then take the smallest amount with you that you can.
And... suddenly, life seems brighter. I left north america probably 5 years ago, wasn't satisfied with the uk though. I don't need to spend all of my money financing a stressful lifestyle. Most places outside of na make it easy to rent a furnished apartment. Life outside of na is largely much cheaper when compared to large na cities. And life outside of na is much more interesting because it's there due to longer than 250 years of history.
Feels great man.
If you're a software engineer, you can basically work anywhere.
Right on. I'm just now unpacking the stuff I packed up ten years ago before traveling the world. I wish I had gotten rid of everything but the mementos back then. Few things will have value after a year, three, or ten.
