Moving to France

(1/1)

Laukev7:
For anyone still posting here. I got a job offer in Paris and I am going to move there in a couple of months. It's an 18 month renewable contract in java software development.

I am, of course, planning to visit as much of Europe as possible while I'm there

Aloone_Jonez:
Good for you.

Do you already know anyone who lives there? If not, moving to another country where you don't know anyone can be difficult.

Laukev7:
I don't know anyone in France. However, we have strong cultural ties with the French and I'm going to be surrounded by expats.

I won't let the difficulties stop me from taking such an opportunity however. Traveling to Europe has been a lifelong dream for me.

Aloone_Jonez:
Good on you.

I suppose you're talking to someone who doesn't like change and even found going on holiday with a friend scary. Fortunately I've found a job now, just four miles from where I live.

Laukev7:
I've been to Europe before; including France and the Netherlands, more than 12 years ago. It was a 2-week school trip to 4 countries. I spent two years collecting funds for it via door-to-door sales. One of the few good moments I had in highschool.

I only spent two days in Germany though, and 0 in the UK. I'm planning to visit both whenever I can.

My old job was 10 mins from home. I wasn't happy there though and I only lasted two months.
