I'm a former expat, returning to Prague (and Berlin) on a trip this week to see some old friends and hear some amazing music.
My two favorite bands (okay, my one favorite band with two names)is/are playing in Prague on the 16th and 17th of May. Catch them both nights for two very different shows, both equally amazing.
I'm flying 15 hours to see it, so what excuse could those of yopu already living in Central Europe have for not attending...? |

Vehicle Storage?

Hi,
My husband's job is moving us to Switzerland for a year-long assignment starting this summer. We currently live in Texas. We're going to sell one of our vehicles, but the other one we need to put in storage. Of course, we know we can't leave it sitting untouched for an entire year. We're trying to figure out how and where to store our vehicle, and how to make arrangements for someone to get it out of storage and drive it once every other month or so and keep up with any maintenance (oil changes, inspections, etc).
Does anyone have any experience on temporarily storing their vehicle and how they managed it? We could really use any advice.
Thanks!!

hi, 18, female, freshman in college. i do not have a major yet, but i am leaning towards communications...except that i am not sure what type of communications job that i can use abroad. i am also interested in sonography, but with my depressing math/science skills it will mostly be unlikely, though i would probably love it because it would be as close to being an obstetrician as i could get...
the more i read and hear the less i want to make America my home for the rest of my life. not to sound cliche, but america's going 1984, piece by piece. it freaks me out.
as i am merely a college freshman with basically no life experience, i understand that i am highly uninformed on what one must do to become an expatriate of most any country you want to live in other than your home country. you have to get a lot of stuff together. is it nearly impossible to become an expatriate nowadays? is there anything i can do now to prepare to live in another country someday? does anyone else feel the way i do, or has moved to another country and is happier than they were in this one?
should i try to get into a job that would advise going to graduate school?
i suppose i should mention that i consider myself 'religious' as i guess you might put it. and i was wondering if there are countries that are really anti-Christian.
it's a really overwhelming thing to even consider, but if i can somehow get my foot in the door now, then i know i will not regret it later.
will studying abroad help me?

hi everyone! I'm a 19 year old gay, pacifist, american who is curious about leaving...for good. I don't want to offend anyone but I'll be frank about my political views. I have refused to say the pledge of allegiance since I was 12. I despise nationalism. I am an absolute pacifist to the point I border on anarchism. when I identify myself it's by my ethical beliefs or as a Pennsylvanian (my family lived there since 1684, not counting the natives they married who had obviously lived there longer...) the US government has not been here as long as we have...but I still feel like I may want to leave. ( my reasons: )
( my questions: )
any suggestions on finding a graduate school (and paying for it) in europe, and then getting citizenship there, would be greatly appreciated. |

If I’m an international student and have a student visa, came to the USA and was diagnosed with Tuberculosis, what should I do according to the law? Should I go back home or should I stay and get help in the USA? Can I stay and get medicine care in the USA? |

Hi all. I think I may have been one of the first people in this community to actually leave the us. Just got back to the states after 18months in Prague wondering why the heck I came back.
In the meantime not sure if it's been posted in this community before, but if not wanted to offer up this great non-profit site for couchsurfing around the world.
Makes it easier to get underway...

Hi my name is Tish and I am new to this sommunity. I hope to someday move to England. I have family over there and I know before I move I would need some money and a job before I go. I think it is interesting to find a community such as this.

Hello! I am a new member too. Actually I live in Canada (Québec) where I came from Russia two years ago. Now I would like to move to Europe.
I am 39, and by profession I am a translator. I work mainly with Swedish and Russian languages, and they are hardly useful in Canada...
I would like to settle down in Sweden (I lived there in the past), Finland (visited it this summer) or some other European country. I know it's not easy. Europe is a fortress... But it's the only place where I feel at home.
Now I am looking for a girlfriend there. You are welcome to visit my site http://suomi24.ru

I just joined this community, so hello everyone!
I'm 22, and just moved out of the USA to Thailand after being offered a teaching job. I grew up in Canada, but was moved back to the US after my Dads job transfer. After 10 years of American life I finally escaped. I do miss my family, but they plan on visiting me in a couple monthes. We also talk several times a week, so it's not a big deal. Now that I'm here, my plans are to either finish my degree at a university in Bangkok, or find a teaching job in another country. I really like it here so far, so I definately see myself settling down here for a while. So my advice to anyone who is unhappy in America, get out!! There is a whole world of amazing things to do and see, people to meet. My only regret is that I didn't leave sooner. Ok, well nice to meet everyone! =]

Hello!
My name is Vadim Petrov, I'm 18 and I'm living in Rostov-on-Don, Russia.
I have a family in the United States of America. It consists of my father, his wife and my sister.
I haven't seen them for a long time. And about 3 years ago they've filled an immigrant petition on me.
It has no matter that I'm young enough, I have some HighTech experience and knowledge and it gives me a way for a work in IT sphere, because I'm intrerested in computers and new technologies from being small. Now I don't have the Bachelor degree, but I want to get it in the states.
But when it is came the time to fill and send the form I-864 (Affidavit of Support), we calculated that my family doesn't have enough tax returns for 3 years and I need joint sponsor (co-sponsor). Now I'm searching for him. I need someone who will fill Affidavit of Support on me. I don't need anything else. I just want to live with my family in Indiana and I don't have any other way to find co-sponsor, but over the Internet. I don't know if anyone will help to unknown guy from Russia, but I can just hope...
My icq uin is 243083420
My e-mail is nxw@mail.ru
My msn is nxw@mail.ru
I would like to talk with anyone who has any idea and/or wants to talk with me.

Hi,
I'm doing a project on Iraqi-Americans that's due in a couple of weeks. As you can probably imagine, it's insanely hard to locate people who I can talk to or survey or interview. If you're from Iraq (or your parents are) and you're willing to take a survey (it's only ten questions which you rate from strongly agree to strongly disagree,) respond to this with your email and I'll send the survey to you. It would be really helpful! Also, if you'd be willing to do an online interview, that would be amazing.
I'm not sure if I'll have any luck, but I thought I'd give it a shot.
Thank you!

I'm looking for a dirt-cheap flight across the atlantic (USA to Europe) and any takeoff/landing spot is alright. Where can I find such a thing? Doesn't matter if it's direct, doesn't matter where. Land travel is cheaper than air, so I'll get to the airport my own way. Once landed, I'm heading to Copenhagen but where I land doesn't matter either.

Well I finally did get hired by DHL in Prague. And they want me there 2 weeks from Monday. And I am dead broke. They're flying me over and putting me up for 3 days. After that I'm on my own. Finding a flat in Prague with no money and no comprehension of the language and the mislabel of "rich American" is going to be a hoot.
Anyhow, thanks to the folks in this community for the advice and support during the search. If anyone has any contacts or more advice about life in Eastern Europe, I could still use all the help i can get.
Thanks!
