Do you ever think about going somewhere where nobody knows you and start a new life?

A few years ago, I was suppose to go to Finland and work as a nursing assistant because nurses in my country need to study again in Finland. It was a dream you know, to go to a place where everything is new and everyone is new. For some reason, I decided to give up on that dream during the last stage.

Although I am independent and stubborn and to be honest I have thought of leaving home several times, I cannot leave my family. Most of my family members are old and as the eldest in the family, I have a sense of responsibility.

If I will leave my home permanently, I will choose 3 countries to go to, Vietnam, Taiwan and a country in Europe.

Do you ever think about going somewhere where nobody knows you and start a new life?

Emily: I regret to inform you that the US government expects you to pay taxes no matter where you are, unless you give up your citizenship.

I want to runaway to somewhere like a lonely island and never return. no more bills, student loans repayment... I'd live off the land.. there should be fruits, coconut trees.. I'd relax on a hammock watching sunset every evening.

Hi Florian,

Yes!! So many times I felt like that. Like I just want to run away from all the responsibilities and from those who irritates and want to enjoy every activities I do.

Going somewhere where nobody knows you will give a chance to explore yourselves and what you can be.

You can truly be yourself. You are free to do anything when no one is around to judge you.

I know I can't run away from life, it's going to get me at some point.

But being with family is priceless also.!

yes. I am having a dream that I can go a new place and no one knows me until now.but I cannot,because I also cannot leave my family members. They are getting older. I have responsibilities to take care them.so it’s just my dream!

Yes, I have such thought in my mind). I think it would be really interesting and priceless experience. So I hope I will gain such experience one day). It is possible with my job and I really want to work in another country, to learn how people from other countries work in my sphere, gain the experience of working with people of different mentality,so I need to work and improve my skills)
