This woman is a little bit of an inspiration to me. At my age she also decided to move abroad, to Switzerland for work. So, what does she do? She takes her fresh off-the-shelf, week old driver's license and her brand new car and heads off alone for the famous German Autobahn (for those who don't know, there are no speed limits...) to drive through Germany to Switzerland. Sounds like a pretty crazy idea to begin with but if you've had your license for barely a week that doesn't sound like a very good plan at all... But needless to say she made it to her destination and had some pretty great years there.
I've learned that travelling and especially living abroad broadens your perspective on the world. It's always interesting to explore new places and learn about other cultures. Personally, some of the most interesting people I've met and greatest experiences I've had have been while travelling or living abroad. The best tip and greatest advantage to getting to know a new culture is learning the language; hence my motivation to learn German!
I consider myself extremely lucky to have always been encouraged to do what I want (as long as I have a realistic plan). This helped make the decision of moving to Berlin pretty easy after considering all the aspects. At this point of my life I've lived in a couple of different countries and cities, including Latvia, Spain, and now Germany and travelled quite a lot, although mostly in Europe. It's funny how travelling only makes you want to explore more and more of the world!
Looking at all these old photos hasn't helped at all with the travel bug I recently caught. I might be dreaming of a weekend getaway...
Any great tips for great Spring destinations?
