Thanks for writing this! My dad always said, “no matter where you go, you take yourself with you.” I’ve found that to be very helpful for myself when I think escaping will help me!

I have a different rite passage, there being I went around backpacking solo for years, looking for "home", and indeed, it turned out, it is something I need to search inside of me. I would not trade my backpacking days for anything else, they were the best times of my life, and it became the foundation of who I am today. So, yeah, I think it is great you leap and went to try living abroad. But I agree with you that we all need to work on our own healing.
