10 Inspiring Quotes About Living Abroad

What’s it really like to live abroad?


If you’ve ever packed up your life for another country, you’ll know that the experience goes far beyond Instagram sunsets and dreamy cappuccinos. Living abroad brings with it a mix of wonder, vulnerability, courage, and reinvention. You’re constantly adapting—learning how things work, where you belong, and who you are in the process.


In this personal piece, I reflect on 10 of my favorite quotes about living abroad—words that have inspired me through the moments of homesickness, culture shock, and unexpected joy.

“When abroad, boredom, routine and ‘normal’ cease to exist. And all that’s left is the thrill and challenge of uncertainty.”— Reannon Muth

Each quote in the list speaks to a different side of the expat experience—whether you’re in the early chaos of arrival or finally feeling settled in your new home.
