I have created this thread to explain my situation and also to discuss immigration in general!
I was born and raised in Israel, and without going into too much political details let's just say that I witnessed more wars in my 19 years on Earth than anyone can handle and it's taken its toll on me, no matter how hard I try to be happy, there's always something around that causes me depression, I consider myself to be a very positive person but lately things have gotten very ugly, last year I "escaped" to Canada & the US for one month and it felt like heaven spending time in such a laid-back environment, so lately I've been thinking about leaving my country for the sake my own well-being and happiness, and as MJ said it's good to make geographical changes to supplement your own vision, unfortunately I'm left with a very hard dilemma where I have to choose between leaving my home country and being thousands of miles away from parents and friends or staying in my unsupportive environment and maybe try to change the way I feel about my country (eventhough it's highly unlikely)!
I would like to hear your thoughts and also to hear from people who live away from their birthplace and how easy it was to adjust and fit in!
Any advice would be much appreaciated because I do feel that this decision might have a massive impact on my future!
