All in Living Abroad
When everything is new—the language, the currency, the traffic laws, the humidity—your brain is running on high alert 24/7. You are processing a million micro-decisions just to buy groceries or cross the street. It is thrilling, yes. But it is also a recipe for burnout.
One of the defining traits of the "Digital Monarch Butterfly" lifestyle—living in two places—is the sudden realization that your hobbies and habits don't neatly pack into a carry-on. When I’m in Canada, I take for granted that I can drive ten minutes to get a canvas or order specialized electronics that arrive the next day. When I’m in Mexico, I have to get creative.
When it comes to choosing a location for long term travel, I strongly recommend taking your time to choose. We stayed in several cities for a few weeks to a couple of months, making sure it was right for us.

What if you time in a foreign land wasn’t measured in days or weeks, but months or years? The experience is different. Very different.
