EP6: Take that Overseas Assignment!

Today I am here to convince you to take that overseas assignment or request one ASAP! There are so many options for different overseas duty stations from Japan, Korea, Germany, UK, Italy and so

With the country band Old Dominion 

many more. Technically Hawaii and Alaska are labeled as OCONUS but I am specifically talking about bases that are not part of the USA.

There are so many positives that can come out of living overseas and on this episode I try to tell you my personal favorites. I start with the number one reason why I like living overseas... the travel opportunities! It is relatively cheap to get to really awesome European cities. So what if you don't want to travel? I mention the benefit of receiving COLA (COLA Calculator) and how you can save a lot of that money if traveling isn't your thing.

Then, I go on to talk about culture, authentic food, new customs, the chance to learn a new language and meet amazing people from a different country you would have never met otherwise. Also, you will grow as a person! You will become more adaptable, resilient, independent, strong, brave, etc. You will realize that you can do things you never though you'd be able to. Hopefully this episode will persuade you to take the leap if you have been on the fence about that overseas assignment.
