Advantages to living outside of
           America are 1) Family is valued 2)
           People work to live rather than live to
           work 3) Life is slower.


           Life in America is moving pretty fast
           whereas in other countries, people
           are more relaxed, patient and
           friendly. Surely, you will find danger
           anywhere you go, but as an American
           you are fine-tuned and wired for
           danger whether you ever threw a
           punch, got sucker punched or just
           watched action movies. You will be
           just fine.


           The majority of the week is spent
           commuting to and from work and of
           course, working. The weekends, if
           free time is available, are for family,
           friends, fun and relaxation.


           You will encounter less racism and
           deal with more classism. However,
           you are more than equipped to deal
           with racism. Confidence will play a
           keen role in your survival.


           Life abroad is less stressful because
           your focus is not on gas, lights, water
           and rent. Travel offers you the
           opportunity to try new things, take
           risks, eat different foods, dance
           (whether you can or not) and
           discover the person you have been
           hiding. And if you have survived
           America, you can handle any racism
           that you will likely encounter.
