For many people, the month of May is pretty nice. For much of the world May begins with a public holiday, and if you happen to be living in France (and other parts of Europe), there’s a whole lot of other public holidays coming your way in May.

There’s something really amazing that happens when you move abroad, that not many people talk about. When you leave behind your family and friends and everyone that has ever known you, you get the opportunity to start afresh and create any life of your choosing.

In the online world we hear so much about the good days. The days when everything is going great.
