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?

    I have a better understanding of what a good life actually is. For a lot of folks who come from my country and direct to the US, it is heaven because they can drive a fancy car, have a big house, and all that. For me, having bigger things is no longer a priority as I have seen people happily live with less and especially how nice it is to be car free.

    I also have met many who have never left their state who advise me to get things just because that’s what they’ve known life to be. I just agree with them and move on.

    Having been to lots of museums than I ever dreamed of, I value art and culture and preservation more. I also now have a way to put things in perspective if I am in difficult situations which helps me stay more focused.
