Staying in your city or moving to a new one?

I live in a very small city and I am a bit fed up with it, of course it has great advantages like that I have very good and close friends, I know a lot of cool people and you can go to pretty much every place on foot, but nowadays I am just looking for a change in regard to the city I live in.

I am sure that If I would live abroad someday I will miss great things from my country, like my great friends, family and even my city, which I really like despite of being a bit fed with of living in it. But that's the way things are, you can't have the advantages of living abroad and the upside of living in your home city at the same time.

I would like to visit a lot of foreign countries, work in a few of them, improve the languages I am learning nowadays or perhaps even learn a few more and have new experiences, so If I want to do these things, I will have to move abroad at least for a while, although I think that I will return to my home city after living abroad for a while.

What do you think about? Do the advantages/pros of living abroad in a city you really like outweigh the cons of it, like not seeing your closest friends on a regular basis?

Have you ever lived in a foreign country for a while and wind up really missing certain aspects of your home country or city?

This is a great question. I'm from the US and I've lived in Mexico for many years now, and I've seen that some people, like me, for instance, don't have any problem being in another country. I think you have to have an adventurous and flexible personality to live abroad. If you're happy with your life, city, and routine, it's probably better just to visit other places when you have some free time.
