How many of you have worked out of country?

I went to Denmark, didn't particularly like it but that may have been the job, only stayed about 9 months.

If you go to Scandinavia make sure to catch the Summer.

I get the work from other countries.

If you count military I've worked for at least a year each in South Korea, Kuwait, Iraq, and Germany.

Going on 23 years teaching English in Japan (original plan was for 2 or 3).

Did a few months in Geneva. Fantastic city and had a blast, but ungodly expensive. Wasn't sustainable. There's a huge anglophile expat community so it wasn't really much different culturally.

Worked in Saudi for a couple of years before ,during and after the Gulf War (First one)

Had alot of good times. Hung out with a bunch of different nationalities there.Being an old Southern Boy I wondered whether or not I'd fit in enough but it was a true adventure, to say the least.
Of course doing a hitch with Uncle Sam around the globe helped to broaden my horizons as well.

If your under 30 and single you owe it to yourself to give it a try, depending on where you are planning to go. I don't know if I would do the Saudi thing these days. Would take some serious $$ to make me consider it.

If I could do things over I'd do that in a heartbeat. Wish I could now.

I ran out of mexico


does that count ?
