Moving to a New Country
Moving to an unfamiliar land that has a distinctly traditional and ritual history is
definitely one of the most exciting yet challenging enterprises. Moving to a new country
is a big decision indeed, and it inevitably involves thoughtfulness, thorough planning and
securing a budget. There are many reasons to consider moving to a new place such as to
travel for adventure, professional growth, and emotional development.
First, traveling and having a great adventure is foremost an important reason to
move to another country. Moving to a new place proffers the opportunities for
travelling to the places which you have just dreamt of. And when you are able to
experience and explore the destinations which are far away from your homeland, it will
be one of the most exotic joys you shall ever experience in your life. When you travel,
you unknowingly imbibe the knowledge of everything that you go through. When you
walk down through a street and engage in a meaningful conversation with the natives,
the knowledge thus gained will not be found in any books or on the internet. For
instance, we’ve always learned about France in history classes and books, but we never
got to see what it looks like in reality. Moving to France has given me the opportunity to
explore plenty of the places I’ve always seen on TV or in books.
Secondly, it provides new job opportunities, especially chances to build new
careers. When it comes to your personal career, the knowledge and ideas that you gain
from the people of the new country will open up new vistas of opportunities for you.
You will slowly get accustomed to the work culture as well as professional ethics of that
country, and it will gradually work towards making you more competent and
professional for the career. For example, job opportunities are so poor back home in
Lebanon, moving to France made me develop my experience in careers, and it surely
gave me the opportunity to have a job and earn money to live.
Lastly, it considers the emotional aspect in a person. When you move to a new
country, you will invariably come across new culture and customs which will compel you
to revere the history and values of that country just as you do yours. Also, when you
meet and establish a bond with people in the new country, it would broaden your
horizon and bring about a change in your point of view. For example, I got to improve
my French language that I had forgotten for years, but engaging with French citizens and
people made it so easy for me to regain it.
Briefly, moving to another country might be very harsh but has many convenient
reasons such as taking on an adventure, advance one’s own career, and develop their
emotional aspect.
