just one question.. did you finished University before you were looking for a different country?? And why did you exactly wanted to move?
Did you more plan to see the World or was the intention really to settle somewhere else?
Thanks! That's nice to hear, I seem to find myself around people whose lives I think are much more interesting than mine lol, it's nice to see someone else thinks the same of me haha.

I was in Kenya for a while after high school, and Korea for a few months during uni. I came to Japan after uni, which is pretty much a necessity if you intend to stay unless you're still a student or have extensive experience in the filed you work in.

I wanted to move because, all countries being equal, each one seems to have different things it can offer different people. My life in Canada was perfect and well balanced, but pigeon-holed with respect to work options. Kenya was liberating and a lot more happy, but risky at best and with no western concept of "a future". Japan suits me best at this time, and for the foreseeable future.

I never had the intention to settle anywhere, though I seem to be putting some roots down here, I wouldn't be surprised if I found myself in a different part of Japan, or the world, later on.
