Starting over again at 50 was not in my plans, but sometimes itโs necessary to reinvent yourself. There are many things I wish I knew before leaving the United States and traveling full-time abroad. At the time, moving from America and becoming an expat was a good decision. After two years, itโs time for another life reset and change my life. I've decided to move abroad to Europe at 50. Itโs never too late to start over and find your purpose, at any age 40, 50, 60, or older.
