    I think living in a different country is a good one. It doesn’t have to be that long, just long enough to see what it is like to be part of a different society with different values and habits.

    I my case it made me appreciate the country I’m from a lot more, as I took a lot of things for granted while living there.

      Somewhat similar: traveling to a county solo where you don’t speak the language. It’s simultaneously humbling and confidence building to have to figure out how to get around a place where you have to rely on kind strangers being patient with your lack of language skills.
