Second: You can´t find authentic foreign foods at home.
What wouldn´t I give for one of those unbefuckinglievable take away sushi rolls like they sell it in Oz on every street corner for 2 bucks only!with tofu,sundried tomatoes,sweetcorn,veggies,eggs,etc…. Or that juicy taste of fresh fruits you just picked aka stole yourself on a wild tree or bush, spices from the far east,some fatty maltese pastizzi.It´s not only the lack of flavour but also improving your cooking styles, experiencing new dishes and the whole socializing part with people from different cultures is one of the things I miss when I´m home in my kitchen.

Third:You got dumped.
Well I haven´t been dumped but there is this certain emotional incident (involving a guy I used to date) that can´t be cured unless I (go and talk to him or ) leave the country for some exploration, inspiration, freedom & ease.

Fourth:Celebrity gossip ist he most interesting part of your day
Now this is embarrassing but I spend the whole day watching the second season of that dull TV series Gossip Girl which is not only boring, shallow,superficial, nothing about but teenagers having sex with their best friends girlfriend, boyfriend or both but most of all it is highly dangerous because it´s addictive!All this exaggerated teenage drama is distracting me from my own issues like dealing with my uni future plans, guys, travel intentions…
These 17year olds – of course played by actors 10 years older – are dealing with such batshit insane problems that make me completely forget about what I am supposed to do.There are hundreds of apllication forms I have to fill out.Before that´s not done I won´t go anywhere anyway.

Fith:You talk with more people abroad than you do at home.
Miss them.

Sixth: sick & tired of being ignorant of world affairs.
I don´t want to hear or learn out of any second hand experiences anymore – the most important things you can learn is life teaching itself when you´re out there exploring it -outside our comfort zone.

Seventh:You have too much money.
Not exactly but I saved up enough to start somewhere new.

Eighth:Spite
There is some pressure referring to certain society standards that need to be fulfilled in the eyes of others. But something deep in my guts tells me to prove them wrong.

Ninth: You don´t want to end up like those guys in „The Bucket List“.
Why would one possibly save best fort the end?I don´t ever want to have to say those words:“I wish I would have done this…or that…why didn´t I take that cance….“ – NEVER!

Tenth: Recycled coffee starts tasting good
And that ist he only point I can´t agree with because I don´t even have a profession where I can get that horribble caffeine baverage.Lucky me,so there´s actually nothing that keeps me here anymore

The issues you are dealing with at work seem insignificant. I work for a record company and you can’t imagine how many “emergencies” I have to deal with because some pampered artist needs to have blue flowers in their dressing room as opposed to the Fussia pink ones they asked for in the first place.

This was a great article. I’m planning to make the leap at the end of this year God willing. I’m done!
