You eloquently expressed your experiences by comparing your feelings in two different countries. I appreciate your honest thoughts, insights, and experiences.
I had a similar feeling when I migrated from Europe to Australia. where I feel at home.
While I have a fondness for Europe and still enjoy visiting, I can appreciate how the intensity of the region can be overwhelming at times.
Having said that when I worked in the US and some highly pouulated Asian countries, I couldn't handle long periods and declined lucrative business opportunities as they were too stressful for me. But they were wonderful for a short time giving me new perspectives therefore I was grateful. Thank you for this honest and inspiring piece giving valuable perspectives to your readers.
