Moving to LATAM has been one of the most transformational experiences in my life. Especially to a developing nation. Maybe second to becoming a father.  

My perspective is so much wider. I see actual struggle. I understand the power and privilege of Capitalism and the United States. 

My views and opinions are unrecognizable from that NY kid.

The US has it flaws for sure, but it also has some great oppurtunity that you can't find anywhere else. I've been very lucky to spend a lot of time outside of the US and live in VERY different parts of the US and all of it broadened my perspective in a way I don't think you can get any other way. I'm glad you've gotten to move away and see a new POV. I wish everyone gets to have this shift in their perspective and have a similar transformation.
