I’ve heard people say, every time you travel away from home you write another page in the journal of your life. 

I asked a couple successful women I know what how they built grit and what contributed to their success. They both said moving and re establishing themselves in new cities and traveling the world. 

Both moved to North America from different continents. 

They had to establish new friends, where to live, everything you need to survive and thrive. There are many obstacles to overcome, sometime including a language. The muscle you build overcoming adversity sticks with you. 

Similar when you travel internationally. You will always run into roadblocks or detours along the way. How you get by, get through or overcome makes or breaks those trips, the experience and how you grow and learn. 

I moved from Edmonton to Toronto at 28 and Toronto to NYC at 39! Probably later moves than most. In addition, I really started traveling the world extensively in the last decade. 

Whether you were guided into your first moves by family, by choice for school or work, or are considering more, it’s never too late to write another chapter or page in the story of your life. 

What are you waiting for?
