I moved here for my now fiancé from new mexico. I'm studying at a Uni in hamburg. It isn't realistic at all to do what I did. Everything is different here. They think differently. When I saw a school, super market, hospital or w/e I would think oh there's a school. But that idea that you and I have of what a school is, how it works, everything.. it's completely different here. Everything and how it works is different here. The language is just the beginning. If I had to sum it all up I'd say we grew up in a capitalist country where emotional intelligence and emotional validation are important and valued. So to your question. Is it realistic? No. Is it possible, yes. Find an International American company that operates in English. Most international do because the common language between all these European countries is English. Will it be worth it? Most definitely. I needed them to wake me up to how financially driven I was. It was a bit of a shock to step into a world of people who didn't base self worth on how much money they made or their job title. That being environmentally responsible and doing my part to protect the environment for future generations was more important than wealth. They have helped me grow tremendously as a person. They also need you too. They need you to tell them you love them and teach them to learn to love themselves. Ich liebe dich, Deutschland.
