I’m an American with a couple friends in Norway and I’m thinking about moving. I’m visiting this winter to enjoy some winter sports and see the people I’ve known online for a big part of my life. Maybe I’ve romanticized it in my head but it sounds wonderful! Some developments are yet to happen but the situations I’m most likely to come across is A) going on vacation and just coming home and accepting that I’m American B) see if I can’t get work with one of my buddies in an industry I know and get a visa or C) get into a trade school there and get a school visa. I dunno how my family will reac ..read more

I moved to Tangier, Morocco in November to be with my husband. In short it’s been a rolling failure. We depleted my savings and he lost his very good job unexpectedly. I am completely broke losing my apartment at the end of mayh. My question is if a repatriation loan on the basis of being destitute is even possible I’ve been told it’s near impossible to get. But I don’t have any other options no family can afford to float me money to get back home. submitted by /u/Soupallnatural [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I have a law degree, for which I got a full ride. I hated law school and lateraled into health policy work with the government immediately afterward, which is what I do now. I really enjoy my job, but my one true love is travel, and I would love to spend as much time abroad as humanly possible. My Peace Corps Response application was rejected due to my PTSD diagnosis (although it's a few years old at this point), and have been applying with USAID contractors but know that landing one can be extremely challenging. I'm wondering if it would be absolutely bonkers to get a one-year masters degree ..read more

We are US citizens looking at Finland, Denmark, Sweden, or possibly Germany. We are not yet married but are a same-sex couple. We are both college educated (Bachelor’s degree and JD) but would be willing to pursue further education if necessary. My fiancée is bilingual and we both have resources to learn another language. Our biggest goal at the moment is debt elimination from the US, but it’s hard with cost of living and school loans. She has lived abroad with family before and has traveled all over the world. I’ve never traveled out of the US. What are some things for us to consider, given ..read more

As outlined in the title, I’m currently seeking job opportunities in the EU, but haven’t had much luck yet. My experience is primarily in administrative work, so I don’t have the tech or sales background that seems to be in higher demand. I am a native speaker of both English and Chinese, and I’m also self-learning Swedish in hopes of securing an English-speaking position first. It appears that many expats secure jobs in the EU due to their tech skills, and often these positions are remote. While I do come across administrative roles, I struggle to meet the visa criteria despite my relevant e ..read more

I currently live in south Florida (born and raised) and i was heavily considering moving to puerto rico to live with a friend that im very close too. I was very keen on moving to puerto rico since im Hispanic and speak Spanish but can't handle how sfl has become so artificial and fake and how most natives are getting pushed out by transplants and immigrants. I don't mind staying in the US but i was hoping to move to a territory or just somewhere similar to miami, but.more quiet. submitted by /u/GuavaRey [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Not sure this is the correct sub to post this but not sure which would be better, maybe /expats? Anyways, I am a EU citizen and am currently working here. My parents have been living in California since 2017 through my father's investor visa (E2) which he's had by opening a small business in the US, and my mother lives and works there by extension. Now, I would like to move to the US but not necessarily working for/with my father, but I have the impression that unless I ask him to sponsor an E2 visa for me through his own (I am over 21), therefore forcing me to work for his company, the fact ..read more

I left my home country six years ago, drawn by the allure of a new beginning in France. The early days were a whirlwind of excitement—immersing myself in diverse cultures, forging new friendships, and embarking on journeys that promised to teach me more about who I am. I built a comfortable life: a stable job, a cozy home, and a circle of friends with whom I shared occasional adventures. Yet, as the novelty wore off and my life settled into a rhythm, a profound sense of displacement began to overshadow my daily experiences. Now, I find myself grappling with a piercing realization: I am but a ..read more
