How I did it: When I found out that we were going to Germany it was scary but those ended up being some of the best years of my life. It is a beautiful country and I hope to get to visit there again someday and take my daughter who was just a baby when we lived there. When I went to the castles and cathedrals there it made me realize what a young country the USA really is. Read how I did it…

I should just sell up and flit freely for a bit.
Living abroad beckons more and more.
And come back looking forward to settling again, grateful for steadiness and routines.
I remember that feeling the last time I upped and left for a few years running.
I feel like shedding skin and breaking out to the new and shiny me.

of my 5 year plan.
Doing the ground work means finalizing loose ends involving my house:
tenants, payment advances on mortgage, cash on hand for repairs etc.
Also means researching and finding work or perhaps study.
And continue with the conversation classes I enrolled in last year.
I’m not sure how long I want to stay in Germany…at least a year I think. And why? Well, I just need closure. I studied german for so long that I just need to use it in real ways, not through text books or contrived conversations in classes.

and have done as much as I can here in Melbourne, to become fluent in german.
Next logical step (and my heart beats faster at the thought of travelling not as a tourist to other lands)is to live/work/love/learn there.
Looking forward to it, as is my teenage daughter, who does german as her chosen language studies in high school.
titinede found a job and is hoping to go on like this and enjoy life the most !
I lived 6 years in germany with my parents, in Bonn and Cologne, cool cities, germany is a great country very interesting and open … I just can say if you wanna go do it .. Berlin is really cool aswell !! :-)
You know when you just fit in a country?
I visited Germany for two weeks last summer and we clicked. I felt I belonged. I took the fresh air of Bruchsal, Karlsruhe and the Black Forest deep in my lungs, and I would do anything to be drenched in it again.
I am studying Mechanical Engineering (Diplom FH) for about 4 years already. Life here is not interesting but the working condition is good.
I’ve always been amazed with Germany for some reason. I’ve never been there but everyone tells me how things are and I would love to live there.
