I think it takes more inquisitiveness than courage to voluntarily move to another country. I&#x27;m specifically discounting those who move to another country as a refugee or asylum seeker.<p>I&#x27;ve lived in four different countries for periods of 12 months or longer (including the country of my birth), on three different continents. I don&#x27;t think it took or takes specific courage to make such moves, more like an innate sense of inquisitiveness and lust for adventure. I wanted to experience different people, cultures and norms.<p>In someone much smarter than myself, this may help to encourage their genius. In my case, I mostly just had a good time, but also I believe became a much more tolerant person.
