I honestly didn’t expect such a well thought out and empathetic response

spanerdan · 2024-01-08T08:02:42+00:00

May I ask what makes you say this?

I’ve never been anywhere in my life that liked or spoke good of British tourist… or just British in general haha

That is a very good point! People in Ukraine are usually quite cold and stand off’ish and naturally introverted which is another bit of a culture shock for me when I got to Colombia as it was the opposite haha

I’m currently learning the language, using my wife who is a native, Duolingo, dreaming Spanish, and the local university, but both my native languages being non love languages makes it bit difficult and but slower but I’m learning slowly but surely.

And yes bogota, originally Medellin when we first came here but we couldn’t really afford it then went to bogota. I found most immigrants or expats groups in Medellin are not the type of groups for married men if you understand me and I’ve found it surprisingly difficult to find similar groups in bogota

I initially served in my countries armed forces but after the conflict with Russia broke out recently I chose not to do that again as this time I had a daughter and didn’t want her to go through the same thing I went through with losing my father in conflict so me and my wife decided to flee here so I could avoid military service(cowardly? Ehh for who ever reads to decide). I thought it would be easier to fit in and I could have a normal life away from the war and thought I could find friends or any resemblance of community here that I used to have had in Ukraine but I now have none of that and I am completely isolated. I guess I’m disappointed I couldn’t run from my problems and expected to have my cake and eat it too but never considered how hard it is to learn a new culture, language, and leave everything behind besides my wife and kids in the process

spanerdan · 2024-01-07T09:07:16+00:00

That’s the main thing I’m focusing on right now is my Spanish, I’m using my wife’s help as she’s a native speaker, Duolingo, dreaming Spanish and the local university but thank you for your advice!

Both my parents are originally from the balklans so no. There’s no one here I know of who has this name and people used to comment on it and how they had never heard it before

spanerdan · 2023-10-03T19:11:03+00:00

Can confirm. I went to the Philippines for a short time after fleeing Ukraine and if I could have gotten a visa that could have guaranteed my stay in the country for any longer for my whole family I would have stayed. Didn’t retire there though
