I've been thinking a lot about this lately, but if you were about to move to a whole new continent, where you don't know a single person, what would you change about your life? Would you try and become a whole new person, fix all of your flaws that you don't like about yourself, try and be that person you never were; or would you remain the same person that you are, and just go with the flow?

Are you unhappy with yourself?

Seriously though, even with no desire to make major personal changes- I've accepted who I am and I'm cool with it- I wouldn't mind peacing out and moving to another continent anyway. I think it would be kind of cool to spend 10 years or so elsewhere and get some new experiences, meet some new people, learn new customs, etc. I get cabin fever if I'm in one place for too long.

Apologies mate, but you're too old to change now

Frankly, it's only going to get worse!

Well, I mean, in my own case, I'm moving to Australia, and there are two major things I'm trying to change about myself when I move. The first is I'm trying to become more confident and have more self esteem. I've never felt very confident about myself around other persons, so I'm trying my best to do that. When I move as well I'm also trying to become a much more motivated and neat person. I always procrastinate things now, and I can never motivate myself to keep anything up for a prolonged period of time, so I've set it in my mind that these things have to stop.
Even now, I know I'm not going to see any of my friends for at least another four years, so I'm going balls out and just doing whatever I feel like.

I found travel to be great for building confidence. You get put in a lot of positions that you wouldn't otherwise find yourself in, and as a result you grow from your mistakes and learn to trust yourself. My experiences were from backpacking though, which was random at best, and insane/scary at worst. Travelling here to study for 4 years, you'll most likely have a far more stable life than I did while overseas

As long as you have a sense of humour, you'll probably do just fine here
