If YOU could reverse the clock... EXPAT's

Hello All,

So, lets imagine that we are talking to our newly graduated son/daughter. He/she has just completed there CFI and began instructing at a busy flight school. They look you in the eyes and say dad/mom... The only thing I can think of is flying in Asia, it is such a dream to me. What would you tell them, that you would have done differently to get to the expat phase of your career.
