‘Not until we are lost do we
begin to understand ourselves.’
– Henry David Thoreau

Stachura confirms, concluding that the ‘best thing
about living abroad is the independence: you
learn a lot about yourself and what you are
capable of.’ Indeed, no matter where, or how
long, your travels may take you, an open mind
and independent spirit will turn your journey into
the adventure of a lifetime.
