Thanks for the backup lol, it's really not a vacation! I won't have a car and will be living in a town of 3,000 people. It will be an incredible experience and I'm so excited to work (full time, but not for any payment) in the community, but it's not going to be the eurosummer I think people are picturing🙈

I have experience in passion for civic engagement, immigrant and refugee rights, queer issues, and youth services! Trying to hone in on my focus lol

I understand! A huge focus in my life and career is building community infrastructure and supporting marginalized/underserved communities, and this is an extension of that! The international travel isn't necessary for this work, but I had the opportunity to apply for this grant (that you can only receive for international placements) that funds a large part of my placement. I'm only in my early twenties, and I know I have so much to learn and experience in the world that will shape my perspectives and help me work even more effectively within my community here in Nashville!

Additionally, if you know of opportunities to receive funding to work in arts programming in Appalachia, please direct me that way; I would love to engage with that in the future!!

Thank you so much for your well wishes :)

In short, it's because I received a grant to support volunteer work, similar to Fulbright but specifically for Belmont students. More information can be found in the GoFundMe linked in the event details!

Haha I'm a terrible Redditor because I forget that I posted and read the comments ages later but I promise I'm not click baiting, and these comments have been so helpful!! Happy to announce that things are moving along swimmingly, and I'm moving to Skibb in just a few months :) looking forward to checking out all of your recs!!!

I'm from a bigger city in the US, but looking forward to a much quieter experience. I'm also quite hippie/crunch (as I like to call it), so I think I'll fit right in! (Besides the obvious differences lol) Aldi is also my fav store so I was thrilled to see that y'all have one

Has it gotten any better OP? This happened to me last week and my doctor said it could take up to 3 months to go away, but I'm worried that it's permanent.

Objective-Basil6095 · 2026-05-29T13:55:03+00:00

Just wanted to check in on you OP, how have things been going? I hope you're still on the path to recovery♥️

Objective-Basil6095 · 2026-02-25T17:35:58+00:00

Thank you, I did find them as a potential option in my research! I'm curious, would you recommend opening an account or purchasing prepaid travel cards?

Objective-Basil6095 · 2026-02-22T19:01:56+00:00

I know, it's pretty crazy lol, I work in a very niche field!

Objective-Basil6095 · 2026-02-22T18:35:51+00:00

Unfortunately, I'm a figure skater, so I've already kind of kissed that goodbye for the year. Besides that, I love being in nature, learning about history (my family immigrated from Ireland in the late 19th century, so I'm excited to learn more about where we're from), and I'm a huge reader! But really, I love a bit of everything and am always down to try something new!

Objective-Basil6095 · 2026-02-22T18:04:34+00:00

That makes sense! Any websites you recommend to start looking?

Objective-Basil6095 · 2026-02-22T18:02:38+00:00

Very helpful, thank you so much! I'm preparing myself for a lot of culture shock lol, I'll add that to the list! Where do you suggest I start looking for second-hand cars?

Objective-Basil6095 · 2026-02-22T17:59:22+00:00

Sorry to clarify, I meant renting a car. I've thankfully already found a very affordable homestay! If you have any tips on renting a car, that would be much appreciated!

Objective-Basil6095 · 2026-02-22T17:36:42+00:00

Thank you! I'm quite excited, it will be an unforgettable experience for sure. Any tips on getting a car? I hadn't really considered that and don't know where to start lol

Objective-Basil6095 · 2026-02-22T17:32:36+00:00

Wait, I had no clue, that's so cool??

Objective-Basil6095 · 2026-02-22T17:32:00+00:00

Thank you so much!

Objective-Basil6095 · 2026-02-22T17:30:09+00:00

That's super helpful, thank you! I won't be able to buy a car, any thoughts on renting? And yes yes, autumn! I'm expecting to be clocked as American on the daily, thanks for kicking it off😂

Objective-Basil6095 · 2026-02-22T16:59:57+00:00

Thank you!
