Take a gap year: this could be you!
Gap year. Sabbatical. Career break. Long-term travel. RTW trip.
If you're an American and immediately dismiss the above terms (or worse, don't even know what most mean), then maybe you should read on.
For the first 28 years of my life, I thought gap years, sabbaticals, and long-term travel were for Europeans, Australians, or Americans with trust funds. I just chalked it up to a cultural divide that my particular culture didn't partake in.
Fortunately for me, my wife is smarter than I, and after stumbling upon a random blog of an American couple, around...
There are many reasons why someone chooses to study, volunteer, or live abroad in a foreign country. Everyone's situation is different, but people who choose to get out and explore the world share a unique view of that world. Though we come from different cities, countries, regions, and continents, and we may have a different skin color and come from different backgrounds, those of us who choose to throw ourselves into a unique culture that is not our own all share similar viewpoints about this world we live in.

Tango dancers in La Boca
Despite the fact that my wife and I love to travel and would give anything to be back on the road right now, there aren’t many places in the world that we’d like to actually call home. Buenos Aires is one of the few exceptions, and it would make a fantastic destination for any expat for a variety of reasons. The culture is unique and easy to fall in love with. The food and wine is amazing, especially if you’re a fan of the color red. The different barrios give the city a unique feel, as though there are several cities melded into one. Add in the parks, the...
The Royal Palace in Bangkok, Thailand
Leaving home to move to a different country, whether it be for teaching, volunteering, or studying, can be a stressful and sometimes overwhelming endeavor. When the country you're moving to is completely foreign and different than your own, it makes that move even more challenging.
The challenges of becoming an expat are also part of the fun, but it pays to do your research beforehand and learn as much as possible about the culture of the country you're moving to. Thailand, while very much on the tourist trail and with plenty of western amenities and...
