Nowadays, a lot of people choose to travel abroad and to live there for up to a few years. This could be an interesting idea, but they could also have to face some difficulties.
On the one hand, they’ll be living without their parents, so they must do everything by themselves, such as organizing their money or their timetable. They’ll need to learn how to cook and to do all the housework. Besides, if they have difficulties, they will have to face them on their own.
On the other hand, young people who live without their family become more mature faster than if they are with them. For example, they start to do things that they didn’t use to do before as paying bills or going to the supermarket. So, as a consequence, they become more independent too, because they begin to have responsibilities that, usually, only adults share.
To conclude, living abroad is a great thing, which has also disadvantages. Personally, I think that living abroad would be a nice idea, but just for a year, because I think that it’s enough to grow up and become independent.
