Thanks, team, for this great article helping us to explore what it means when they have to leave a country or when they decide to stay instead. A lot of this feels very similar to the thoughts that were in my head when I decided to leave Japan back in 2012. It wasn't an easy decision, but in reflexion, it was the right one. 🙏

Sam, thank you for sharing your experience. We live with our choices. I'm curious to hear what led you to make your decision. What criteria did you use?

A lot of it was due to missing family and part of it was due to potential job opportunities, but the two years that I spent there were some of the best years of my life. Looking back on it now, perhaps I should have stayed, but hey, life turns out the way it's supposed to do, I guess.
