live in a foreign country 4 days ago

I’ve always wanted to live in a foreign country, probably because I never traveled as a kid and because I live in a boring country

Cansu confused...

Gosh... 3 weeks ago

It’s been a real while since I last wrote to 43things. So time to start a bit again!!!

Wanna know what I’m doing now?!

Living in a foreign country!!! YAY!!!

Just at the beginning of October, I moved to Germany from Turkey and since then, I’m seriously living in a foreign country! I’ll sign some more papers today about my apartment and will have to tell the Hamburg office that I officially own a place to live in their city now, but hey, I can accept this goal as done?!

It’s hard though, that’s for sure, as I seriously miss my home. And being guided by my parents and my cat and my habits and everything…

Want to be an expat again 3 months ago

Currently 8th year living in Australia and tired of it. Would love to live in England for a bit (2-3 years at least would be good). Maybe progress onto Canada next. But won’t be for another few years till my career is stable.



Kattikins is procrastinating

Nearing the end. 3 months ago

I am now nearing the end of my time in Malta. It is a bitter sweet goodbye. I have met amazing people here, and I will miss them greatly. I am glad England is close enough that I will be able to visit. On the other hand it has been over four months since I saw my best friends and I cannot wait to see them!

I learnt a lot about myself living abroad. When I moved here I didn’t know anyone. Even my housemate I had only known for a few months and not closely. This meant that I was not restricted by my homeself and have, to an extent, discovered what parts of me are me and what parts are a facade to please my family and friends.

I do not mean this in a bad way but I now understand who I want to be. Rather than what other people have come to expect of me. And to be honest I am not much different.

I have missed my boyfriend a lot but to go through a year living in a different country and still have the level of love and trust for him that I do has really shown me what we have together. It has made it worth it.

I highly recommend people to actually do this if they have been toying with the idea. It may not be the easiest thing on your list to acheive but it is rewarding in more ways than I can express.

Living in Paris 6 months ago

I went to Cordon Bleu and worked in Paris for about 3 years. I loved it and if I could have found/been allowed to work, I might have lived there longer. I made some great friends and learned a lot about France as well as the U.S. I also learned a lot about myself. Everyone should try to live abroad if they can.
