Leave Your Hometown: 16 Reasons Why You Should Go For It

Leaving my hometown was something I always dreamed about. As soon as I graduated from university, I jumped onto a flight that was destined to land 10,000 miles away from my home. A friend and I had made a last-minute decision to become backpackers for a year in Australia. Looking back, this was one of the best experiences of my life.

Why is it good to leave your hometown?

Leaving your hometown in your early 20’s is considered a life hack. Moving away at 21 years old has helped me to become stronger, more resilient, and more thankful. Leaving my bubble of comfort was not easy, but it turned out to be the best decision of my life.

A roller-coaster full of ups and downs and every emotion you can think of, moving to a new place is an experience like no other. Therefore, I have created this blog post to encourage you all to take the plunge.

Is it bad to move back to your home town?

Moving back to your hometown will give you a chance to reconnect with your loved ones. Also, you will realise who cares for you and wishes to get back in contact with you, and you will learn about the ones who do not care. 

As you know, reminiscing about old times will never get old. Also, coming back to your home town for a short time will make you appreciate some things that you have noticed before. And you will rediscover what is important.

Final Note: Why you Leave Your Hometown

When it comes to big things, such as leaving your hometown, we put so many negative ‘what ifs’ on it. ‘What ifs’ include things like, ;what if i do not make friends?’ ‘What if I do not have enough money?’. Honestly, there is no reason to overcomplicate it; just go for it.

Everything is possible; you just have to follow the curve. Your life will have its ups and downs. Everything is possible when the curve dips, and it will come back up again. If you do not like where you are staying, simply move.

If you have ever wondered what it will be like to live in a different place,. Move away from your support system and truly find who you are. I would say just go for it. Stop dreaming and make it happen. Don’t spend your life wondering ‘what if?". In the worst-case scenario, you’ll end up hating it and moving back home. And that is okay too. Hopefully, this post has inspired you to move away from your hometown.

In a new place, you can pick friends who align with your mindset; you can pick people who elevate you. It is amazing to be able to restructure in a new place without having to destroy your old place. Also, you will grow a sense of gratitude. You will start to appreciate where you come from, and when you are away from them, you start to appreciate them a lot more.
