Working away from family is always hard and very stress full. But if you think about stability it brings to your family in terms financial support, the result is significant. One thing i advice is use technology to lessen your stress of being far from family. Technology nowadays is a great way to have a more consistent communication with your love one. Having technology as a tools will somehow make a difference on your physical and emotional health. :D

Every now and then I hear stories of how it sucks to work abroad. I've heard stories of people going missing or coming back home in body bags. Personally, I would never do it.

No, not me, they are not going to get their filthy hands on me. I'm well and comfortable at home, where I get to visit family whenever I want.

I have several friends in Dubai who are inviting me for a vacation. But I don't feel comfortable in an Arab country because of the big differences in our culture and religion. It is scary to think that I might be arrested for violating their laws. My friends say that Dubai is a free place even with alcoholic drinks. But let me think about it before I plan on going there.

When I was young, I always wanted to go away from home, for education and work However, I couldn't go abroad for studies because I did not have money. I also could not find satisfactory work abroad. Now I am getting old I have money to go to abroad and I can find goo dwork but I do not want to go away from home, I do not want to be far away from my family.
