And if none of those 3 legs of the table are solid, the difficulty of the situation is magnified many times over in the expat experience. I really appreciate the way you’ve framed this, including the importance of work and balance, which is often left out of these pieces. It’s my experience as well, but I don’t recall ever having read about it!
I'll admit first, I'm not that adventurous. What makes one want to move to another country, especially one where it's considered the individual doesn't have the same liberties we have in the U.S?

Well, the journey started a long time back, some 20+ years now with a few countries in between that have been “home.”
Definitely, some places are better than others but all have their upsides and downsides and each have changed in their own way over the years too.
To answer your question, probably not one thing, but a sense of curiosity and a taste for adventure lit the fuse.
I hear you though…
