I knew since I was 8-9 years old that I had to run away from things that reminded me of my home. So moving out first from my hometown and then from my country was something that I has planned for a long time, and nothing that I regret even if it meant leaving all the personal growth I had.
My wife on the other hand decided to stay with me for the trip, and she still has emotional ups and downs with regarding of leaving her career behind, even if she’s working on getting her career back, she’s starting from zero.
