I guess the answer changed as I was living there. At first it was an amazing adventure and I could see and do new things all the time, that was a ton of fun. Traveling around, eating new foods, seeing new places and making new friends! Then it later became a desire to make myself into a better person, and this was the perfect place to do it. By learning a new language, networking with internationals from all over the world, and having the opportunity to work and use my skills, it was very rewarding.
