FrenchWhat is the most useful skill that expat life has taught you? Conversely, what skill did you already possess and had to draw on most when you became an expat?
Expatriation taught me how to let go and accept that things will not always go as planned. My life abroad has been too full of unexpected events and wonderful twists to hang on to my old perfectionism and compulsive planning tendencies.
I am also able to see the silver lining in most situations, a blessing that has definitely come in handy many times since I became an expat!
This quote by English writer G.K. Chesterton sums it up best for me:
“An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered.
An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered.”
