is Living Abroad Enrich or Frustrating?

When you think about living abroad you think about being in a new country, being away from your family , changing your world view, or having cultural differences and language barriers ...its kind of frustrating because you get times where you really home sick , missing everything about back home and im typing about this out of experience because i go through this every day being from Saudi Arabia, living by my self away from my family . especially when i first got here back on December, everything was hard looking at how everything is done differently around here, the law , the weather changing for example where im from we never had to deal with snow , its always hot and if its winter its just a little bit windy .. it took me a while to get used to this but i know once it start snowing again it gonna be hard all over again. all of that coming together would is frustrating, also there is always the element of surprise before u leave your country, not knowing what to expect,, planing everything different based on the way your living ...but the whole living abroad experience is amazing to be honest, you get to experience a new cultural , new people , learn more and being more opening minded .. its one of the best things to experience in my opinion, living abroad forces you to fit into different cultures and expand the avenues you take to tackle different problems and that's why I like it. i been in the states for almost 8 months It would be hard to know how my personality would be different if I had not experienced that and if i had not socialized with people from different cultures It would be hard to know how my personality would be different if I had not been year. living in different countries and being around people from different countries changed the way i look at a life a lot and i would not trade it for anything.
