Life Lesson : From Living Abroad Alone!

Travel had always fancied me, but it was always with someone for company during international travells, though in India; I had traveled alone. This year, had the privelage of doing that as well.

Living abroad is going to make you a little more confident and a little less fearful. And if you get a chance to live that life, go for it.

Living abroad teaches you to appreciate what you had back home.You like the fact that India is probably cheaper and you have endless support there. (You might miss the food, but not me).

You will walk on empty roads, fall in love with a local, read a book under the sun, dress up differently. You’ll do things you have never done before.

You will be cautious of your bank balance. You will learn to do everything on your own.

You will stop cribbing about little things. You'll become wise and humble. You will get rid of unreasonable ideas. Most of all, you'll become realistic.

You will know what it feels like to kiss on a street and not have people stare at you. You might want to have someone with you. But Solitude is also addictive. Once you see how peaceful it is , you don't want to deal with people.

You might, just want to come back; or might never want to come back or might want to shuttle. Whatever you feel, you do learn few life lessons, when you are alone, abroad.
