Being an expat is not always easy, but it also not a nightmare.
It all depends on you, on your attitude, on your openness, on your willingness to adapt, to learn, to change your mind if necessary, to discover and try new things, to see the world with other eyes.
Personally, I am very happy, as an expat, and I regret nothing.
Or maybe is my only regret that I didn't leave Italy way earlier than I did.
But this would be another story, so stay tuned for another blog post about that.
People ask me often how I did what I did.
How I learned German that fast.
How I survived abroad alone.
How I kept living in Berlin even if it was very hard and heartbreaking sometimes.
And usually, they are very disappointed by my answer. Even if my answer is always 100% sincere.

But there are no magic potions, no unicorns, no Sugar Plum Fairy in it.
