I have reached the point now, at over 3 years of being an expat, to realize some of the cliché life lessons:
- Money comes and goes, but your health and your relationships are what's really valuable
- Time and money spent with family and friends and travel is time and money well spent.
- Adventure is out there!
But I have also realized the importance of having a purpose, not just in life, but even in everyday travel.
I have a "goal" of buying a flag in every country I visit.
