e.g., broader perspectives on life, empathy, ability to adapt…etc

If you could go back in time, would you chosen to live in multiple countries and/or cities vs staying in one place your whole life?

    My brother lived all his life in the same country. I lived in multiple cities/countries.

    Both of us had good lives: He enjoyed benefits that are typical for people who live in the same place. I enjoyed benefits that comes with migration.

    Both of us were fortunate to avoided problems: He avoided problems that are typical for people who live in the same place. I avoided problems that are typical for migrants.

    I really dislike posts that lead to romanticizing migration.

      I feel like people who romanticize migration specifically, and not enjoy the one new country they move to, are the type to never be satisfied. I suppose if you have to skills, money, will power, and lack of attachment to move countries constantly, that’s your choice, but just admit you get bored quickly lol.
