Are You an Adventurer Expat?

Although the highest peaks have already been scaled, the Amazon has been explored, and the deserts have been mapped, there are still many who move abroad because it’s an adventure. While I think there’s a bit of the adventurer in anyone who willingly pursues an expat life, there are some for whom it is the primary reason they leave their home countries.

• You enjoy learning a foreign language just for fun
• You can’t wait to eat fried sheep’s eyeballs
• You think of swimming in shark-infested waters as a minor challenge
• You don’t want to climb Mt. Everest because it’s already been done too many times
