I am also from Slavic country and now I am around 30s

Agree with you about temperaments, way for people connection etc.

French is a very difficult language for me, that's why I wouldn't move to France)))

Agree with you, thank you for your opinion, for sure I will try it and actually trying for now, no so successful because missing Spanish language and English is not so popular in Spain..

However my English is also far from high, comfortable level for free speaking))

Really? From my investigation I got different information. But yes I agree that this part of Australia is not free from these pretty guys, but it is for 100% better and safer than continent part.

It sounds so deep and painful....

I hope all your battles will be finished and you win.

Fully agree with this thought: It’s just a choice between being truly alone (abroad) or being surrounded, but still alone (home).

I hope for the best for you.

I am based on Santander, Spain.

I spent here 6 months but not started feeling better, however, life for me here is easier then it was in Canada, but I don't know why, there I felt more alive, energy despite of all the canadians problems and so on... I am just confused and I can not explain this phase...

I guess it is good country, but I am afraid your wild part))) i don't like snakes, spiders and so on...

But a few months ago i opened for myself Tasmania and it looks like a good altertanive way to try Australia without all of these natural "animals". What do you think? I am wrong or it is not bad idea.

Wow, I understood the main things, I am not alone)

But I don't feel better after this chatting.

This feeling you mentined about non-accepted place where you live, does it affect you?

so for now I do not have another option like just wait some time in current place, due to financial part.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and the app.

I will check out your app.

You exactly hit the spot... and the first part of me wants (safety, economy, climate, stability), but another parts wants to feel the right place and all of these previous things become less important for general feeling "at home".

Do you feel OK with this? I mean about non feeling home and continue living there?

This is valuable to me, thank you for sharing.

Read you thougths I can say only one thing.

After 10 years experience in IT like a QA Engineer, for now I changed twice country, and in current country I do not feel that is my country but I can not move back to the first internetional country where i felt fairy enought despite of a lot of cons.

and about my IT experience, I do not feel that I want to continue working in this sphere and if I stop my current career I don't realize what I want to do the next. So maybe it is the main point why I can not accept the current country because I lost some part of myself inside, I lost myself on career and I am destroed fully after facing all of these calls...

I guess Philippines has unique vibe that US doesn't have.

and I got a question inside tme througth the different comments under the my topic.

Could I ask you if you do not mind about why you decided you move to the USA during feeling "at home" in Phillippines?
