Not Looking Back: 온라인 카지노 게임s Who Made It through the Crisis Abroad

온라인 카지노 게임s had a particularly hard time coping with the coronavirus pandemic 카지노 게임 컬렉션� many of them have felt cut off from their families and their support system back home. However, as some countries have been better at dealing with the crisis than others, living abroad has also been a big relief for some of our members, while others are just longing to explore the world again instead of returning to their home country.

Here, we share the stories of Lisa in Portugal and Janie in Australia 카지노 게임 컬렉션� neither intends to return home anytime soon.

Staying Safe Abroad

Although Lisa has missed her family and friends in the United States ever since the pandemic hit, she feels very lucky to be living in Portugal. While the number of infections in her home country has been rising, very little has actually changed in her home abroad.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�We decided to move to Portugal when Trump was elected,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�I talked my husband into it in 2016.카지노 게임 컬렉션� According to Lisa, this move was one of the best decisions of her life. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�We are so happy and grateful to be here,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she explains. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�I can카지노 게임 컬렉션�t say enough about the quality of life here. It is awesome, and we feel so fortunate that things have worked out as well as they have for us.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Despite the lockdown, Lisa카지노 게임 컬렉션�s daily routine hasn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t changed much, between learning Portuguese in the morning and teaching English in the afternoon. She and her husband had both been living abroad and working from home for a year when the pandemic reached Portugal, so they were already used to staying at home and working remotely.

However, if she still lived in her home country, her life would be vastly different right now. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�If I was in the US, the situation, my situation, would have become worse,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�We have stayed in touch with our friends and family online, and we didn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t really worry too much about them until they told us about the protests.카지노 게임 컬렉션� Between the Black Lives Matter protests and the effects of the coronavirus, Lisa카지노 게임 컬렉션�s home country has recently gone through a lot of upheaval that she doesn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t recognize from her new life in Portugal. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�The things that happened in the US, there카지노 게임 컬렉션�s no toilet paper because people lost their minds and were hoarding it,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�We카지노 게임 컬렉션�re across the river from Porto and we didn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t miss anything. There was plenty of everything, it just didn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t happen here.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

In hindsight, Lisa is grateful that her and her husband took the step towards relocating in 2016, after one of her friends from Denver turned her onto international and overseas living. Still, the transition to expat life was challenging. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�I카지노 게임 컬렉션�m glad that we did it, but I don카지노 게임 컬렉션�t know if I would have attempted it if I had known what I was in for,카지노 게임 컬렉션� Lisa says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�You have to have a certain amount of money and time to go through the process. It카지노 게임 컬렉션�s a big deal.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Ready to Travel Again

Unlike Lisa, Janie can카지노 게임 컬렉션�t wait for borders to reopen. Before the pandemic began, she spent most of her time traveling the world in an attempt to visit every single country and territory across the globe. In 2020, she wanted to visit the ten remaining destinations on her list, from Pitcairn Island to Antarctica. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�I just want to fulfil this childhood dream of mine; I grew up in Russia when it was a closed socialist country,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�I카지노 게임 컬렉션�ve dreamed of visiting every country in the world since I was five, and at that time it was like dreaming of going to the moon.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

It took her over 20 years of traveling, and so far, she has visited 238 countries and territories and taken 1,500 flights around the globe. Though she카지노 게임 컬렉션�d planned and booked the final trips for 2020, she soon realized that the universe had other plans.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�So, the trip in April and May didn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t happen, and the next one will not happen either,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she explains. However, she is still hopeful that she won카지노 게임 컬렉션�t have to abandon all her travel plans for the year. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�I카지노 게임 컬렉션�ve still got three or four more international trips before the year is over. I카지노 게임 컬렉션�m hoping to make at least some of them.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Instead of being too sad about her travel plans falling through, Janie decided to make the best of the situation. Cooped up in her place in Adelaide, she has kept working on a book that has been a work in progress for a long time, called Around the World in 99 Disasters. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�It has helped me put some things in perspective and re-live all my travel adventures from the past few years,카지노 게임 컬렉션� Janie explains.

Unlike other expats, Janie doesn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t plan to return to her home country anytime soon. Instead, she has big plans for a plot of land that she recently purchased. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�I카지노 게임 컬렉션�m hoping to open a health retreat,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�This is another big passion of mine.카지노 게임 컬렉션� After experiencing various cultures and their different approaches to health, food, and lifestyle choices, she wants to share the insights she has gained. Janie has used her time staying in Adelaide to learn about new therapies and breathing techniques and to design a program for the retreat.

These plans have still not squashed her travel bug, of course. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�I카지노 게임 컬렉션�m definitely going to continue traveling,카지노 게임 컬렉션� Janie says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�The minute that our borders open, I카지노 게임 컬렉션�ll be the first one on the plane.카지노 게임 컬렉션�
