if have chance, would you choose to go abroad at your 29s?
Hot 3
i cant remember how long i didnt log on here, more than one years, i think.
Recently i encountered a tough problem, i am now 29 years old, an old girl already, work and live with my parents, i think you must hear about the working holiday visa, right? with this vias, you could stay in Australia for one year, working and travel there , sounds great.
luckly, i was granted this vias, to Australia, i applied this visa last month, on Nov, and i finally got it.
The question is, i dont know if i should give up what i have here and fly to a strange country to start a new life, single person to that country, with no friends, if i go there, i must rent roon, find a new jop```, you would scare to a completely strange place to meet stranger, and language issue.
Yet i still not tell all about this to my parents, you could image what they would think, they think it's better that i wait in China and then find someone to marry, then have a baby, you would never know what would happy to a girl who go abroad along, it's not safe, that's what they're worried about.
i totally understand this.
my sisters dont want me to there as well, with the same reason as belows:
1. you're not young any more, 29 years old now.
2. it's not safe to go abroad along, with that poor English.
3. what if you cant find a job?
what you could do in such situation?

- A lot of people are hoping to have this chance to experience work overseas, but it is not easy. You have now got your work holiday visa so you should see this as a chance of a lifetime.
You may regret it forever if you give up this valuable chance and regret it forever because this chance won't be easy to come by again.
However, It is particularly worrisome for a girl to go so far away to an unknown country without friends and relatives to ensure your safety and well being. Should anything go wrong, you would be helpless. Furthermore, a girl of your age should be thinking about your marriage. Time waits for nobody and the longer you wait, the less chance of marriage. Men can afford to wait, but girls can't.
The jobs you could get during the working holiday may not be the best jobs. Some who are on such visas are working as fast food sales, gardeners, baby care, delivery workers and labor intensive work. Office jobs are few. They salary if not too high either, because the jobs are most part time work.
On the other hand, life is supposed to be full of adventure and exploration. You have attachment to your family and your own future, so this would be a difficult decision for you. This is your chance to see the world, so you would have to think about it carefully and make a final decision.

- You are now grownup. You have your own choice. This is a chance for you going abroad to experience another kind of life there.
Though you got problems worried. Rent a house, find a job, how to get well with people there, etc. Yes, they are hard, and especially for a girl. But English is not that such a problem. You can make up them and learn faster than what you have done before.
Once people comes to a foreign land, he is more adaptable than he thought. We are strong survivors. What you worried about is the at the marriage age you are also considering owning a family of your own and meanwhile are not sure if you can feel ok to live overseas if you really decide to go there.
All is up to your choice. But, whatever you decision you are to make, just believe yourself, saying that you can.
