    I need the change of pace (and I crave the culture shock), and I think it will be tremendously beneficial to my development as a designer to spend a couple of years gaining a very different perspective. I want to do international work, and I see this as a good way to start down that path.

    Some other options are the UK or NZ, but aside from having a blast, the design experience wouldn't really be all that different from the work I'm doing in Boston.

    The other attractive options are Spain or maybe Argentina – I speak pretty solid Spanish, but we have no family/friends/contacts in either country.

    I think all designers should live/work abroad early on in thier careers.
