How many of you have worked out of country?

I'm talking full time. Not just a trip. Seeing all kinds of jobs in my field with much better pay but I'm not sure I could leave all I have behind. Maybe just for a while to stash some money?
Experiences?

sounds like it would suck, regardless of pay

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.

Finally got the surgery and you want to go to Thailand and join the TG workers there?
Good luck, I guess.

Taught English in France. Loved it. Best year of my life. Take advantage of free time and travel.

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

Worked in China for two years. I enjoyed it, but it got old after a while.

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

My first thought.

I've done it in the military. I'd rather do it as a civilian. If you're single and have no kids you should definitely do it for the money and the experience IMO.

A lot, in many countries. Where are you considering?

You'll learn more about life and yourself in one year living abroad than you have in your life so far. Personal growth happens when you leave your comfort zone. Go for it while you're young, single and few things holding you back here.

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.

Spent a few months in Abu Dhabi. Wouldn't want to live there.

Being deployed is work, correct?

Absolutely. Only Iraq was a deployment though. I just wasn't tracking what you meant.

I did a stint in Eastern Europe with the Corps. That was much more like real "work" than Iraq. Had the time of my life.
