I’m trying to make a move myself and am curious what worked and how well it turned out.

    Glad that’s been working out for you!

    What were some things you did that made the hard things less hard?

    What went really well?

    Who is “we” that moved with you?

    Thinking about doing the same thing, working on getting my EU passport now.

      No EU passport for me sadly, just a visa. If I could get one I super would want to.

      We is my partner and I. Very much a team effort.

      great question. I think giving yourself some grace has been a hard but helpful part. Like you will probably not have the bandwidth for keeping the house as clean, the working out, the self improvement, etc etc. Just even giving myself extra time to go to the store and extra space to make boring or meh meals has helped.

      Beyond that, all the stuff you’d expect. Putting yourself out there. Listening. Money never hurts (and can help fix certain problems). Friends (from afar and close) are huge.

      I began volunteering shortly after arriving and it helped make me a friend circle. I love hanging with them and already can’t wait for Thanksgiving here!
