Many thanks to @intentionalexpat for letting me be part of her interview series! Here's a preview--check the rest out by clicking the interview box above!
What’s the most difficult part about living abroad? What’s the best part?
I think the most difficult thing about living abroad is also the best part about living abroad. I moved to Vigo knowing absolutely no one, and I always wondered how people move somewhere without knowing anyone. I think in the beginning it can get lonely. You meet so many new people, but nothing really ever compares to home. Being away from all my family and friends can be hard and knowing that their lives continue as mine does here is something I’ll have to get used to. Adjusting to the way of life and making friends is definitely a challenge, but it’s also what makes moving to a completely foreign place so fun. The best part is getting to know the city, getting lost and discovering places, learning about cultural differences, and meeting people from all over the world who have similar interests as you.
Yours truly,
TLT
