It's easy to romanticize living abroad. Life is good when you're on holiday—going to the beach, enjoying the food, exploring new cultures. And you may start to wonder: wouldn't it be great if I moved here?

But holidays and actually moving abroad are two very different things.

I've lived abroad for 12 years, so I know. I was born and raised in The Netherlands, but I left in 2013.

I've lived in Canada, Thailand, Bulgaria, and Spain. My experiences living in these countries—exploring different cultures, the food, the people—have shaped me into the person that I am today and enriched my life.

But it's also been hard. And today, I want to share the more difficult things about living abroad for years—things I wish I knew back in 2013.
