#5 How strong your desire is to come home
After a few months abroad, you'll miss a lot of things that are very Filipino. Food, local TV, your old tambayan, conversations with fellow Filipinos, and so much more.
Believe us when we say that this desire can grow and fire up at some point in your overseas journey. It's a good thing. Just be sure that you are prepared for it when you've decided to come home.
