Well i had a return ticket, i was just on leave, came back to work.
I didn't think too much of the opportunity presented by the guy who kindly let me stay in his house there. He could have given me housing AND work.
Then i had another thought at going there in 2016, but it came after a period of me screwing things up, and my mother thought i'd better not make impulsive decisions like that, because "i need to recover". I wish i had ignored her and boarded my flight, because that was my ticket to a good and less stressful life.
