Don't move anywhere without visiting several places for at least 1-2 weeks each. Trust me on this. You may have a picture of a place but being there can be very different.

Not so sure I agree, I moved to Beijing, China having never spent a second there, probably the best decision I made ever. (Though, I had no pre-conception on how it would be like prior to landing...)

While no longer living in mainland China, I still haven't left Asia (nearly seven years on)

Sometimes pushing yourself right out of your norm/comfort-zone can really help you find yourself.
