Question

Accepted Answer

You can jetset all over the world, but you can’t run from yourself. Make sure you’re in it for the right reasons and not just to avoid solving problems. Try and integrate yourself with the locals and give back to the community in some way by volunteering for a cause you believe in or are passionate about. Set up multiple streams of income.
