A smile abroad is often a scowl at home.
I deliberately went to boarding school. It was my choice. My mum was abroad and I wanted to wean myself off being dependent. It was a very important time for me to be able to create my own individual, independent life; just as a way of growing up.
Cross-cultural learning and studying abroad can be transformative.
The first duty of any government is to protect its citizens, whether the threat is a domestic one or from abroad.
My mother has lived abroad and I've grown up hearing her talk, so probably that's where I get this accent from.
It's not easy, especially for a German national team player who did great things in the past and maybe is struggling. That's why I think most of the German national team play abroad because if you don't play for Bayern Munich and you don't always win, it's difficult.
I'm a simple hillbilly. I don't like eating modern, industrialized, fast food. I grew up eating home-cooked food. So when I'm traveling abroad, like when I recently received a six-month writing fellowship to Iowa in the U.S., I like to cook my own food.
I started competing internationally when I was still in school. Every summer I would travel abroad to England because England was the place to be for ballroom dancing.
My next job after Wales, whenever that is, will be somewhere abroad.
Working abroad made me better.
