Living abroad

Adaptability: every time I am in a new social situation, I am able to find common ground with the people around me. I am able to change myself to suit the occasion and it does not take long before it becomes clear that we have either traveled to the same places, enjoyed an unusual food or even know the same people in a far away city.

• Problem-solving: I pride myself in my ability to solve problems with few resources. This is largely due to the critical and analytical thinking skills I have used from an early age to survive when I neither knew anyone or spoke the language in our new host country.
• Creativity: while some might claim that people are born with creativity or not, I believe that exposure to different ideas, people and places influenced how I am able to come up with new and valuable solutions around my life and home.
