Nadia Crevecoeur, a 26-year-old project manager, saw friends have amazing experiences living abroad. In college, I studied international affairs and had the privilege of living abroad in Geneva, Switzerland, and Brussels, Belgium. Courtesy of Nadia CrevecoeurDuring the eight months that I lived in Europe, I felt a lot of isolation and homesickness. While living in Europe, many factors contributed to a larger feeling of "I'm not from here, I'm a foreigner." AdvertisementMy purpose in living abroad was to thrive, but I just wasn't seeing myself thrive like I did back in the States.
