i'm not one who'll advise going into debt for experiences, thus mention of responsibility; but, if you can swing it without much risk/pain that way...

an adult in a different (ok, non-canada) country living for months has way more life-impacting/broadening/deepening potential than a vacation at 12. :) - plus you'd have at least a bit of comfort with the language? that's a plus to me. and maybe friends/family in case of emergency or loneliness? those are pluses, too.

I've always imagined myself working overseas at some point. Is it not as easy as I'm thinking it is? -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 28, 22:56 2
- well, i do know lots of folks who have done that. knowing people in other countries is a great way to kickstart that. - b! Jan 28, 23:00
- people do it all the time. not hard as long as you have a job -- nm - pigby Jan 28, 22:58
