Life as I know it.

(This and other posts are repostings of my favorites from my own blog, Miss Expatria.)



When I left America, I left behind a loving, supportive family and friends I would take a bullet for. Anyone would be glad to have the life I had there. It was a good life.



When I go back, I am often asked how I did what I did, and how I knew this was the life for me.

With documents in hand, I left my apartment and walked with great purpose until I realized I had no idea where I was going. I’ve never sent a fax in all the years I’ve lived in Europe. I couldn’t remember the last time I had seen a fax machine. So, I did what… Continue

Succor

Usually, when people come to visit me, I provide information, guidance and a base for their otherwise autonomous vacations. I’m happy to do so; it’s fun to see one’s city from an outsider’s perspective. It also makes me realize that I am not as much of an outsider as I feel sometimes - for a brief time, I am the expert in all things European.



Other times, friends are just plain jazzed to know someone who lives in Europe, and are happy to pretend to live here too, if only for a little… Continue
