Friends and hot chocolate.
The winter.
Belgrade, Serbia
Discovering the Balkans and loving every second of it.
Researcher and partier.
I loved my experience: people, food, activities, nightlife...
There was nothing to not like.
Ljubljana, Slovenia
"Study abroad" for my Master's
Student, intern
It's a hidden gem. I'm sure soon it will be "discovered" and exploited touristically. But it's beautiful, clean, not too expensive, people spoke several languages so I could always communicate, people are nice and helpful.
Hard to get to and get out of (not many international connections), not many job prospects for non-Slovenian speakers.
Trento, Trentino Alto Adige, Italy
Grad School student, baby-sitter
Grad School student, MA in Comparative Local Development
The view, the fresh air, the mountains, nature, some people, the multi-lingual community, the architecture.
It was hard to get around to other parts of Italy and Europe (stuck in a mountain valley), some people were not very nice either.
Chisinau and sorroundings, Moldova
I went there as a Peace Corps volunteer
Peace Corps volunteer in Community Development
The people, the different life... it was eye opener.
The US government.
Madrid, Spain
I went to try something new and I ended up teaching English and starting my career as a freelance translator/interpreter. Life was fast-paced, but enjoyable. It's impossible to ever get bored, and there was always a wide range of free activities to chose from.
English Teacher, plus other odd jobs
The lifestyle, people, the location within Europe (easy to go visit other cities and countries)
Wages, bureaucracy, some minor discrimination.
Texas, USA
Student, bartender, waitress, odd jobs
It's easy to do things, wide range of possibilities, "the land of opportunity"!
Lifestyle, people
Buenos Aires, Argentina
I grew up here
Argentine?
My life was nice here while growing up. It was still safe, things were accessible, people wonderful, the food great, prices affordable...
How it changed over time. Now it seems a bit too geared towards tourists. Prices are rising, things are more expensive. The crime makes it unappealing too, and the job market is not very good.
