Episode 6: From Excitement to Fear Abroad

THE GOLDEN MOVE DIARY

9/4/2025

When I think back to my move abroad at 20, I realize how unprepared I really was. No job, no plan, no clear idea of what life would look like on the other side.

Just a suitcase, a ticket, and a mix of fear and excitement 💛

Some moments were magical, little wins that made me feel alive 🌟.

Walking down streets I didn't know, meeting new people, discovering small routines that made a foreign place feel like home,

those were the moments that reminded me why I had taken the leap.

Other moments were much harder: the doubts that crept in late at night,

the times I wondered if I had made a huge mistake,

and the surprises no one had prepared me for.

It wasn't always easy, but every challenge taught me something new about myself.

I learned that moving abroad isn't just a leap into adventure.

It's also a leap into the unknown, and no one tells you how messy, scary, and beautiful that mix can be. It's a journey of little wins, lessons learned, and moments that shape who you become.

That's why I decided to write down the 7 things I wish I knew before moving abroad. Not as a perfect checklist, but as honest lessons from my own journey,

lessons that might make your own leap a little less scary and a lot more exciting.
