Heidelberg and Neckargemünd by dachepierre
Hallo all! We live just outside of Heidelberg (15-20 minutes by train or car), in a very cute little village of Neckargemünd. This small city (15 000 people) still has in its core many 16th century old houses and has a feeling of Middle Ages. It ...
I live in Heidelberg. It's great. Is your site a blog/do you have a blog? Read More
Reverse Culture Shock by Guesposter58
Hmm. All last week I was back in the UK (mixing some work, with a short break). The last time I was back there was in November last year, and also the previous August. One thing I noticed this time though was I seemed to be suffering more from ...
I wish for that feeling of belonging sometimes, and now I'm afraid I won't find it anywhere. If I go back to the US I'll always be thinking in the back of my mind how it's better in Germany because their vacation laws, health care system, and ... Read More
A Poll for American Íæż½ã½ãriates
I've put a poll on my blog asking expatriates who have left the United States (for any reason) what the #1 reason they WOULD return to the US is - and the #1 reason they would NOT return. I think for all of us there is a little bit of pull toward ... Read More
A global projection of subjective well-being by Julien
An article (2006) about the search of happiness. They even made a map! http://www.le.ac.uk/users/aw57/world/sample.html Do you agree with this analysis? (my opinion: very subjective, indeed!)
I admire the people who are able to dedicate themselves to researching something which must be frustratingly difficult to objectively measure. I can barely tolerate getting through articles on environmental exposure to toxins or on nutrition without ... Read More

You might want to try visiting for a bit first to make sure that moving to Europe is what you really want to do. Go around to a few different countries you're interested in to see which culture suits you the most. Of course you could just pick one ... Read More

American Íæż½ã½ãs, what do you miss most? by cc11
Hello everyone! I'm going to be living in Italy this summer and travelling through Europe for about three months. Even though I'm not really going to be an expat, I was curious as to what you wished you had brought with you from the US. What ...
Cereal is definitely a problem. I wanted to make a recipe using plain rice krispies and couldn't find ANY unsugared cereal that would be remotely close. I miss cell phone plans that exist in the realm of human comprehension. I miss cheaper ... Read More
What do you miss the most? by wendyfb
I don't know if this has been asked before, maybe, but anyway, I wanted to ask, what do you miss the most now that you are living abroad? Well, one would expect many people to answer: family, friends, places, yes, I miss all that but what I miss the ...
It's all about foods for me. Mexican food, good junk food. I like the food here too, but it's hard not to still crave some of the old standbys that you can't get in the new country! Read More
How often do you make it back home? by daileyjoy
We have been in Romania now for less than 2 months and are already being blasted with "Coming home for Christmas" Well Christmas would be hard 1/2 a world away with 2 children so I explaine that Christmas cannot happen it would be too hard only to ...
I think it will work out to about once a year for us, and generally for big events. (Say, weddings.) It's expensive, and we aren't some of those expats who are living with lots of money from a corporation that moved us - we moved on our own and ... Read More
