from How to Move Abroad: Your Guide to Start Living Abroad · host Mistelle Godlewski - Move Abroad Expert

I found out I had breast cancer at thirty years old. That's the real reason I moved abroad — not the job offer, not the adventure. The diagnosis that made one day stop being an option.This week I'm telling you the actual story. The cancer. The friends I lost. My best friend of twenty years I haven't spoken to in eleven. The moment every single time I say goodbye to my mom at the airport. The weight of being far from home when things go wrong.And then I'm telling you why I'd do it again. Every single time.This one is for the person who is scared and wanting out and feeling guilty about both. You're not crazy. You're not ungrateful. You're paying attention. And the life you want is more buildable than you think.
