I just wandered over from Holidailies and was particularly drawn to this entry.<BR/><BR/>On the one hand, because if I told my mother that I was thinking about moving to Europe, her reaction would probably be similar to your parents. Maybe multiplied by a factor of 10, but definitely along the same trajectory. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, my best friend moved to Europe right after college and has spent nine months a year living over there ever since (we've been out of school for over 8 years now). He's made a life for himself largely illegally (i.e. no work visa until the past year or two) and did just fine. His goal was to live in Europe and not go into debt (with some other goals folded in, of course) and he's been completely successful. It helps if you're fluent in at least one or two languages besides English, have an outgoing personality, and don't mind roughing it a bit here and there, but it can definitely be done. If you end up going that route, good luck to you!Sherckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365366144078711301noreply@blogger.com
