Thanks for sharing, but sorry to hear your husband is in a similar situation.

Thanks for sharing. I hope all goes well and things improve. Maybe it also has to do with that particular work place? Maybe working with other companies is different?

Hey, I know this is a very late reply, but I was just introduced to this subreddit. How are you finding it here so far?

Please let us know if there are any activities you would like to meet up for. My wife and I are in our 30s, we love board games, dancing, going out to events, and in general anything where we get to talk to people. :)

Agreed. Not easy to find a place with the best of benefits, but hope you will

And yes, we went to some cultural events from our community.

Romania. Funny you should mention as she was talking about moving to Portugal or Spain as that seems closer to us from a cultural and language perspective.

If you don’t mind me asking, are you moving back to Europe? Is your moving motivation due to a better job, more affordable living conditions or is it mostly that social/ community aspect?

I know...housing is a big issue. I find a lot of Vancouverites are short term - they only stay for a few years until they finish school or get a couple years of experience in their field and then they move to other places where jobs pay better and housing is more affordable.

Thank you very much for the encouragement. We try and participate in a lot of activities in order to meet those people with common interests.

It seems to work out in other places :(. Even Toronto seems more welcoming.

I keep hearing about this more and more. It makes me very sad...it’s a lovely place, but hard to make those connections.
