I’ve been to Germany once before and absolutely loved it. I would like to live there one day. :)

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.

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.
