Being a global citizen is an interesting experience, which I advise everyone. From a few months to several years, in an internship, job or creating a business. All three will help you learn more about yourself, help you get out of your comfort zone and bring you memorable experiences.

Explore the world in your own way and change your thinking by being confronted with a totally different culture or country than your home country. Many are enchanted by such an adventure and others must or choose to return home after several years.

Returning to your home country is often very difficult though. It is like readjusting again to a population that seems to be very different. It may seem easy due to the fact that one has often spent years in that country and often has family there, but other aspects of this readjustment can be very tricky to overcome. It's like entering a whole new country again, with different people, a different mindset, and social codes with which one is no longer necessarily aligned.
