Hi kwillmo,
Great question... but where exactly do you plan to go... or at least in which area? English speaking country? Europe? France? Germany?
Do you speak any other language?
What are your qualification ? Where do you live currently and what do you do ? :headscratch:

Sorry for all those questions, but it will help to give you advice on moving abroad... As you can imagine, situations and choices can be very different.
Some people move temporarly to an English speaking country to improve their English fo a couple of months, or years.

Other people move abroad thanks to an oportunity in their company, others to find another job in a challenging environment...

different people, different situations, different choice ;-)

Definitly, Spanish is probably the most useful languages after English, the most important second language in America (and it is spreading quickly!).
I've notice (it's a personnal opinion - as an European :shy that in some areas English/American people like to travel (at least some of them ;-) ) usually in a big trip around the world after their studying or their first job... it's good but it's better not to see so many country and instead to immerse, as you said, for a long time in a different language and culture... I think you go back to your original countries with new ideas, a more international view, more tolerant and open to other culture...
Good luck :thumbsup:
