>>2784854 (OP)>implying I've traveled outside of the US to one country, spent 4 years there, had a surreal life changing adventure with lots of highs and lows.
I returned to USA, and because I think it's better left in the past, I'm not going to say which country. I will just say that even though I didn't gain much materially, the experience of trying to make it as a foreigner in another country, the different trips I went on and the people I met, the countless nights spent braving the unknown and forging a path that resulted in real success and personal growth, none of that could be replaced for me.
If I hadn't made the decision to travel I wouldn't be half the man I am today, nor would I appreciate the world in all its grandeur like I do now. Cheers yall.
