I’m interested in experiencing what its like to live abroad. But you can’t always find job opportunities from the home country. I was wondering, how difficult is a “shotgun move”?

Bought a one way ticket and moved countries with only a few hundred euros saved up. I was 22, broke, uni dropout. I had free accommodation for 1 month (hostel volunteering), during which I only ate bread and cheese, but I got a job, found a room, and then built a life.
7 years later i have multiple uni degrees, a great job, and a fridge full of healthy foods :)
Oh man, I’ve been on the bread and cheese diet too. It’s amazing what you can do with that combo- throw some mustard on, toast it, don’t toast it, maybe some marinara or ketchup 😅
Ikr! I loved shoving it in the oven for a few minutes then add some mayo. Agh good old times haha
We had the exact same experience when it comes to the food, also i had to eat bread and the cheapest cheese i could find for months. I don’t know how i did it to be honest, but somehow i managed.
One country we one wayed it. Next country, we sussed it out for 2 decades and still were surprised by how different life was tourist vs resident. I know a lot more than students in my language classes but that’s the only difference.
