Either in regards to the current political situation, or for other reasons. What drew you to the idea of living in another country? Do you think whatever benefits it offers are really worth it, or is the grass just greener on the other side of the fence?
Sounds like Estonia. But in any case, when you move somewhere, it’s what you make of it. It’s definitely hard at first, but once you do get settled in, you may grow to enjoy it. All I can say is make sure you get out and experience the culture and really what they have to offer. If you are just living there, then why does it matter if you do that in the states or elsewhere? Politics wouldn’t interfere with any of that. You would still go to work to make money just to survive. You can do that anywhere.
For sure, and I do appreciate the advice. I didn’t want to sound too negative, it has been lovely here 😉
But I just want to communicate to others looking to get out that it’s not so simple as picking up and leaving. It’s very difficult and much like a plant that has been uprooted and transplanted, there’s more trauma involved than you’d think. As you pointed out, it does take that active effort to make something of it, it’s not just a simple continuation of the life you had only somewhere else.
