In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.*

She tried to make a joke at the beginning and no one laughed, I felt a bit bad for her
As a german my comment is " Ohh typically Germany"
Because she is with a group of Germans lol
Lol crowds that don’t laugh just kill me
Maybe they did but we couldn’t hear it in the video
Traveling, learning,and working on her own is empowering.
for me traveling is the only purpose in life ive found that makes sense, just staying one place working getting wealthier a family then dying just doesnt seem like something i want to do
Wow, I really agree with the "You start listening to your own voice in your head" in the new city. It's like it just popped up in my head out of nowhere.
#1 discover a new culture
#2 learn a new language

#6 change your perspective about where you're from
#7 truly appreciate difference and diversity
#8 become a creative problem solver
#9 become a future global leader
#10 it's a life changing experience
#9 Who are you trying to be Napoleon or something?
Nice talk. Clear, Minimilistic and Engaging! Thanks.
I think the best part about being abroad is learn much more about yourself
Great video :D I' going to move to Toronto this September for 9 months. I've always dreamed of living abroad for as long as I can think and now that I've graduated I've decided that now is the time. Everybody keeps asking me if I'm nervous or something but if truth be told I can't wait. I think it's incredibly important to do something on your own and leave everything you know behind.
Hope it went well! Toronto is an amazing city and is full of immigrants/expats, I'm planning on moving there myself and it's scary but very exciting
How did it go?
How did it go!
thank you, thank you for this video. I'm from Syracuse, NY but have been living between France and Germany for over 6 years now. Some days can be so challenging that I forget why I wanted to move abroad in the first place, but your video is a really fresh and positive reminder of all of the good aspects of living abroad. thank again. :)
hello, im thinking about learn germany and search another country to live, im Portuguese and im totaly lost here, i'am 23 and i see no future in this country, how hard is learn German? learning that language will open me lot of doors, i really believe and thanks for your comment, and for ur future reply to this
@@SliimCasher hey! I'm learning German for 3 years right now, it's definitely a great language and it's not SO hard like it could look!
Spoken from a place of honesty and passion, i could see how you lit up when you spoke about South Korea and how it brought you and your mom close. I hope you've found what you've been "looking" for and your happy how your journey has shaped you and your perspective on life. I truly enjoyed watching you speak, calm and fruitful . Im planning on moving to Canada next year (2021) to work and study and i now know i will be doing the best decision moving abroad!
how did she afford to move so much? It is my dream but money is the biggest thing stopping me
everything is cheaper than a collage degree in the US :D
same here
own fewer things. If you know you're there for a short period of time, you bring little and you buy little. A much easier way to live (smaller place, cheaper, less clutter)
Ruby learning how to budget is the best way, figuring out a spreadsheet is probably the best way
her parents prob have money and "helped" alot i'm sure ...
Loved this talk! Living abroad is difficult and challenging at times but it’s so rewarding!
that gave me some strenght to face the challenge, thanks for that!
I love your sharing about your wonderfull experiences of livin abroad. Hope I could follow your journey, moving abroad for work or study, next year.
Great talk, thank you so much for sharing!
That was amazing!
Lovely presentation!
a really good speach!
'Who's heard of Minnesota?'
Every German in the room puts their hand up.
Proof that spending money on education over nukes pays off.
Well I do know about you, but personally I enjoy living in a country without fear of being invaded. Germany doesn’t have nuclear weapons, because based on what happened in ww2, they signed a treaty that doesn’t allow them to have nuclear weapons, for fear of something like ww2 happening again. Also, Germany is our Allie, so as long as we have a super powerful military that can back them up, they have no need to invest a ton in their military.
Thankyou!:)
I love the diversity idea! I am just like you. I love to change everything that I come across!
Inspiring!
I've lived abroad twice (in the Middle East) and after taking a big break I'm ready to live abroad again but this time in Canada. I'm so ready and so excited. The hard part is leaving my family and partner behind, but at the end of the day, I've got to do what's best for me.
amazing!🧨
Wow I've also got that travel bug and its amazing how much you did! Shows you human potential is endless!
I'm gonna have my last college final exam on Monday, if everything goes according to plan, I should be in a different country by the end of the year.
how is she lucky to get all these jobs abroad?
It would be great if I had enough money to be able to move overseas. My family is poor and I am a university student. Work is also hard to find in my area, even menial jobs like cleaning. Hopefully I will complete my degree by the time I turn 30, and have enough of the right work experience to find employment overseas.
nice explanation
incredible video, thank you very much
I hope next year to go abroad to Australia with my little girl to visit my Australian boyfriend =)
Wow! Great video, it has made me feel more confident about my experience living abroad.
I have lived, worked and studied for 9 years in 4 foreign countries and now I have family in a 5th. I speak 8 languages and counting. My parents are now close to 70 and unfortunately I am stuck between Brexit and coronavirus so I am stranded. The only airline with direct flights to my hometown has scrapped the same due to a tourism industry badly affected by quarantine periods and what previously was a 2-hour flight now takes the same time as going to Japan. Living abroad is a must for your personal growth but after a while it is not worth it. Or at least not worth it in England and the nationalistic post-COVID world.
bro hello
If it's possible I would love to learn French, German and Russian. =)
I Dream Of England It is possible! Go!
The first 4 minutes are a flex xD
So lucky, I'm persuing a life style like that.
Moving from Belgium to Spain (Valencia) under Covid-19 circumstances ! 🙏🏻🇪🇸 30 years old right now! Let’s do this!
Hope it’s going well man! Im moving abroad tomorrow!
@@timb9363 what is your destination?
All the best mate!
Hey, I might go live in Valencia this year. How is it?:)
@@pruneforeign6281 Bro I love Valencia, it’s very beautifull ! I love the Turia Parc! ❤️
WOW, you learned Korean, that's great :-)! Great adventure
She's so pretty :)
Is it too late to study abroad at 35?
riccia888 never to late go for it.

NEVER MEANS NOTHING
NEVER ITS LATE
Sagittarius energy 🔥🔥🔥
I'm 24 now, and I wanna make a money for 3 years , then go and study abroad at 27. Will it be too late to challenge?
It isn’t
Btw, it’s been more than a year since you wrote this comment. What you do now? You still think about studying aboard?
It's never too late
its been 3 years my man, life goes fast, time to take fate into your own hands soon
She is so cute.
I just dont know how im going to meet new friends if i move abroad, like i dont want to be lonely. does anybody know some ways?
You are always lonely... even when you are with friends. 🤗
@@pentangle78 nope
Jeff Donlon
Besides money, this is my problem too.
Idk how to meet new people there or friends or something. I guess bars or maybe go college there and then to find friends but its still kinda scary in someway
Get out of your comfort zone, and approach people

F***, she's awesome!
Most germans are fluent in english 😅 think thats just a Berlin thing since i've experienced quite the opposit
it isn't easy to get a job alone a job abroad?
It depends on the job you want and what you are willing to do. Teaching English abroad is not hard pretty much anywhere. Also, you can find jobs on cruise ships or other little jobs. It is actually much easier than it seems as long as you are willing to do what it takes. Also, the country where you are from changes things and where you want to go.
It's really easy to teach English abroad. However, it gets old very fast and my experience has been that it's not really a job that promotes stability. The pay can fluctuate a lot as you often work by contract. The only English teachers that I have met abroad that had financially stable situations have been the ones that were already married to someone who had a decent paying job..... :-/ Hopefully this comment will come in useful to someone. I honestly wish people would have been blunter with me regarding teaching English abroad.
is her father Matthew McConaughey? 👀
Realno postoje samo 2 nacina zbog koja bi izasao iz svoje zemlje, ako idem na put poslovno ili radi zabave...
Zato sto je moja
It's better to excel where you're at while language training and then leave for (insert country here). Elsewise you won't be able to sustain living there and you'll be a burden on everyone.

If i had MOENY and my FAMILY would let me i would do that
ITSn.j
You don’t need your family permission.
Just do whatever you want
@@ido1061 and theyll beat my ass😂😂

Bad idea. Stay where you are and start making money. Then you can travel.
Don't forget to enjoy living and travel occasionally while making money .
