Why you should move abroad (non-obvious benefits)

I moved to France 5 years ago to study, and I've stayed here since then. I've also lived in California for half a year. I wouldn't trade my living abroad experience for the world! There's so many positive aspects of living abroad that most of us don't realise until we actually do it.
Not every benefit of moving abroad is obvious from the very beginning. In this video, I break down 5 benefits or reasons for moving abroad that weren't clear to me in the beginning, but now make a lot of sense.
If you're confused whether to take the plunge and move abroad or not, perhaps this video will push you closer to doing it.

Hey Mayank! I just wanna admit that so much of your videos have prompted me to ponder over pursuing an education and moving abroad. Having been born and brought up, further, coming back (in total Swades style) to my pursue my education in Delhi, I resonate so much of your thoughts on homesickness, family, and adulting alone. I wanna thank you for the amazing content you share to the community. Major source of help for whoever that is making a move abroad.

[@MayankSehgal]

Thanks so much for this comment dude, it means a lot! :)

[@turtlebeatstudios]

[@shukailu6731]

Hey Mayank, I'm currently having a hard time living in France and I just wanna say your videos have helped me so much. You are amazing, please keep posting on your channel.

[@ArmaanKumar2000]

People often overlook these benefits, but they play a huge role in one's life! You're in a way, rewriting your life. These were some great insights and as always a great video!

[@MayankSehgal]

Yes I agree! You're basically rewriting your life. Thanks for the comment man!

[@SalahMus]

[@Akshat-pk5rl]

Hi Mayank! Loved this video, Im 18 and planning to move to France for my masters around 2025, its a bit scary but Im so up for it and your videos have really helped me still stay confident with my decision to move abroad.

[@MayankSehgal]

I’m so glad! Thank you! And all the best 👌🏼

[@vatsalbhatt2651]

Hey mayank ! I guess I am a little late to the party , but such a great video man. Having moved to France (and now to spain) I completely agree with all the points , and its soo well articulated in the video. Definitely gonna share this for all the "why abroad" queries.

[@MayankSehgal]

Ahhh thanks so much man!!

[@rastapopoulos7870]

I kinda considered all of these benefits in a way before, but the way you expand on how exactly these are gonna benfit you is really interesting. Moving abroad, you get a lot of freedom to write your own story for the cost of convenience.

[@MayankSehgal]

That's exactly it. You get to write your own story for the cost of convenience. Thanks for putting it that way.

[@sommyaruproy8405]

You can do these in india as well just move out of your home if you want to.

[@MayankSehgal]

Yep, you're not wrong!

[@amfrance]

I was so keen to move abroad when I left for France over five years ago. I've seen, done, and learned a lot. However the equation really starts to change with the passage of time, and I've become a lot more ambivalent about staying abroad.

[@MayankSehgal]

I can understand that feeling! I think the decision becomes clearer only over time :)

[@oneechan1241]

Hey bro can u tell whether for hec Paris for mim can we apply after the application deadline? Btw nice video 😊

[@vivek_firodiya]

hey im currently doing my bachelors in manipal, which place is this at 7:57 ????

[@MayankSehgal]

That's somewhere between the Mangalore highway and Mattu beach!

[@singh99928]

Please collaborate with someone who is in technology field france. No one has done that on youtuve

[@barneyy6942]

How hard is it to get an apprenticeship to pay off the tutition fee? Like what is the success rate?

[@radtailokutarapol3315]

Pray, do indulge me with your opinion on the matter of one's ability to speak fluent French, or lack thereof, and its potential impact on procuring employment in France or other European locales.

[@barneyy6942]

If you realise you made a mistake of moving abroad, is it necessary to move back home? Cant we move to another country and msaybe even try fir citizenship there? Is it harder?

[@jjsc3334]

Outside of contries groceries not cheap, utilities high, tax high, not much saving. So I stay lin Cali.
