Bravery
Living abroad shows bravery on its own. Now you need to take that one last step to share your bravery with others. Mingle with the people of your new country. This is how you make friends for life. Take the brave step to discover the people of the country. Then, you will learn to love the people and the country. Bravery is showing who you truly are with others. Allow yourself to be vulnerable. Face your challenges and fears. Be part of the new community. By showing bravery you can overcome your fear of not fitting in. This opens a new world for you in your new country and will be your new home. Never give up and conquer your fears. Be bold abroad! Be brave!

Courage
Do you think you´re courageous? Courage is found in opening up to a new culture, a new country, and a new community with no backup. Navigating and settling into a different culture can be scary. Uncertain. Being truly yourself is in itself a major challenge. But being yourself while reaching out to people who already have their community figured out can feel like running into a wall. However, you can find wonderful people to connect with everywhere you go. Even if it doesn´t feel like that in the beginning. You just have to be courageous, be bold! Show persistence! Show up! And then you can also tear down walls.

Open-mindedness
When you move to a new country, it's important to be open-minded and embrace different cultures. Connect with the local community by accepting their quirks and respecting their ideas and traditions. Working together as a community and individuals with no prejudices makes us open minded.

Proactiveness
Proactive people carry their own weather with them. You are in control, you are your freedom, so why not use it? It may seem easier to stay in your bubble, stay in your comfort zone and wait for chances, opportunities and people to save you. But be honest- does that really sound right to you? Probably not. Being proactive gives you the chance to create your life as you want it, wherever that is but don’t wait for the whenever. So go out there, get things done rather today than tomorrow because your own action can change your life!
