Homesick for Shiner Cheer in Paris during the holidays after my first semester of my MFA in Photography. What I like here, what I don't, and a baguette per day to keep the cloudy day blues away.
This was so validating to read! When I tell people I lived in Germany for four years, they always tell me it must have been so amazing. I always respond that it was the best and the worst of times. It ain’t easy being a foreigner and all of us expats complained constantly. 😂 But being in Europe is also amazing in all the ways you described. I found it VERY hard to learn the language and find time for classes with a full time job. I didn’t learn it very well, so I’m sure you’re already ahead of where I was. 🥲 Good luck out there, babe!
Wow thank you!! I’m finding hearing more from expats here and elsewhere that it’s normal and takes a while to make real friends has been helpful too. It’s rough but also incredible too. Thank you!!
