@Soupe du jour I am very late in responding to your last message and that thread is closed, but wanted to say thanks for the kind words I am sure the move abroad comes with a lot of stressors and can be isolating. I hope it gets easier. I love traveling, but am not sure I could move to a new country easily. In terms of the language, I am sure that is tough, too. Kind of funny story, I visited Poland once and had to meet up with people after arriving alone in the airport. I was in an area where hardly anyone spoke a word of English. I almost broke down crying because I could not figure out how to find the right bus and I was afraid I was going to be lost in Poland. This was also before I had a smart phone and could not look it up. All I had was a paper travel book. Fortunately some students I ran into spoke a little English and they were able to point me in the right direction. Phew! I then learned how to ask for the bus in Polish so that wouldn't happen again haha.
