“oh you must be rich” “you have a lot of money” These are some of the responses I get when finding out that I’ve been living abroad for the past 7 years.
Not denying that I’m talking from a place of privilege but people who (to me at least), have a better situation than I had when I left for the first time, could be doing the same if they really wanted to!
I worked in bars, hostels, hotels, festivals, restaurants, cleaning toilets at events, housekeeping etc. Everything that could possibly make me enough money for me to be able to stay abroad, I’d do it!
And I would do it all over again!
