live in europe

This is a big one for me, and what’s keeping me going through this tumultuous period of my life.

I’ve looked at jobs, but most positions in my career field require that you have a TS already. Definitely a brick wall that can be overcome.

I’m continuing to apply for jobs in Europe, but have opened up to other locations provided that they give me a TS.

I plan on taking a trip to Europe to visit my friend in Naples around Christmas so I can bombard the management of various companies. Hopefully I don’t scare them.

I did entertain the thought of entering a contract marriage just to get out here. D@mn those values of mine. haha

I don’t know when or how, but I will live in Europe. It’s going to be awesome.

I was reminded today of a major difference between Europe and America. My new co-worker was shocked by the announcement Germans don’t do air conditioning. The poor girl was, of course, jet lagged so it probably wasn’t very nice of me to dump that on her.

Every day I get home, my bedroom is 2 degrees (fahrenheit) warmer than it was when I left that morning. It only drops 1 degree each night so my bedroom was 78 this evening…

Lightly coated in perspiration all day long. Swinging the windows wide to bring in that hint of a breeze. Hearing the distant thunder rumble without the relief of rain.

I stood at the north end of the Forum and looked out across antiquity. I stood at the heart of the culture that built the Western world. There is no place so old in all of US. No place that has marked the world so profoundly.

One of the buildings on Capitoline Hill is the Basilica Julia. Although it may sound like a church dedicated to a woman, it was really Julius Ceaser’s Courthouse. To understand history is to bring a greater understanding of self.

When I got back to the hotel room, I looked down at my boots. They were covered in dust, very ancient dust.

Living in Europe rocks!!! Need I say more?

I applied as an au pair (nanny) on www.aupair-world.net and have found a really nice family that wants me. If it works out with my visa and everything I’ll be living in France for 7 months! Considering how long I’ve dreamed of living in Europe, I never imagined it would be possible so soon. I think it will be an amazing opportunity and encourage others with similar goals to try it out too!

I have a very good landlord, it seems. I love my flat which he redid just over a year ago. It is beautiful and modern with lots of light. Right now, he is renovating the flat above me. He has insulated the floor to keep me from having to hear future tenants walking about. Today, he came and helped me hang my large wrought iron piece. The walls here aren’t the same as in the US. They don’t use a lot of dry wall, don’t know why. So you have to be careful about hanging things. I asked my landlord what would work best for hanging my piece and he volunteered to hang it for me and did today.

I would like to live in Europe for 5-10 years.

well, its probally alot better than USA. but except more crime and more mean people. but i would just love to live a beutiful house looking over the mountians or just a great view

I technically live in Europe right now, but I would like to live here (either in France or elsewhere) for an extended period of time, like a year, and without the aid of a study abroad program.
