| Eh, depends on where you decide to go. Switzerland & New Zealand-- yes, to all that stuff. But Mexico? You purchase a 6 month visa (which is just a paper receipt and a passport stamp) at the airport, border crossing, or immigration office, for about $40. Stay longer? No problem, just pay a small fine ($30? I forgot the exact price) when you leave. Learn a foreign language-- Spanish is among the easiest to learn. And there are bountiful opportunities in the US to learn, between classes & native speakers. partner/dependents-- of course, this depends friends/family-- yes, but you can visit them, they can visit you. And if you're willing to be outgoing, you can build new friendships they sometimes even become like family (or actual family) One can see it positively-- as a growth experience. Or one can see it any way they choose. The level of ease depends on many factors, including how much a person invests in consumer objects-- such as expensive furniture or vehicles. Personally, I've always bought used furniture at goodwill, and cheap used vehicles. And so I'm not super attached to most of my stuff. There is storage available for some things as well. |
