i see. i too want to try being an expat. It would be with a friend too.
Friends leaving with you are hard to arrange, but life just works out that way. You guys must be helping each other with everyday life. When i think of relocating, I want a friend from Cali to come with me too lol
You should try being an expat. It is quite an experience, to be in a new environment and learning the culture of the place. It is a big adjustment too.
Actually, me and @memebibiboboo with 3 others live in one house. It is very fun and life never gets boring if you have people around you. So relocating with a friend is a good idea.
