I know a lot of people say, "Visit before you live there." And I always wonder, what type of money they're making to even visit another country and what type of a job they have where they can take off so much time at one time to stay long enough to do something, like these people that take month-long vacations. I couldn't even imagine being allowed something like that, then again, vacation (paid) is a luxury...one I've never had.

I had to sell everything I owned to get a plane ticket to Japan. It was like a hippy garage sale. But I found work with an english school before going, with a one year contract. It turned into over three years and now I'm older and economically stable enough to visit sometimes.
Where there's a will, there's a way. but you gotta work for it. there's a happy medium between a two week vacation and moving there for good.
