  • Moving away from family and friends is like a divorce. You can’t expect that you’ll be able to live in both places simultaneously, like nothing happened.

    The ones left behind will live daily without you and they’ll have their own sad or happy moments to share with the ones who are at that exact time there, not far away.

    In my case, I call daily via WhatsApp video my parents, but they’re the only ones with whom I have this kind of “intense” communication. With everyone else I’m chatting every now and then, but not daily.

    When I visit my hometown, every 3-5 months, it always feels like I’ve missed a lot, because their lives are not on standby whilst I’m away.


  • I’d suggest you to follow your heart. If you think that with your degree and experience can live decently close to your family, that’s the best. You’ll also bring back some lessons with you and hopefully help others to develop.

    If this option is far fetched, then I’d suggest you a relocation to the U.K.

    I’m an Eastern European, who has studied and worked over 10 years there. I can assure you that as an Indian you’ll feel like home in the U.K.

    Personally, I got along very well with my Indian colleagues and I’ve enjoyed almost weekly gatherings with them, having nice hot dishes 🍛

    In Germany I really miss this kind of “connection”. Furthermore more, few Indians that I’ve encountered here, seem to be much different than the ones from the U.K. I’ve noticed that Germany has managed to changed them, to make the more “rigid”. It’s a strange feeling 🫢 Don’t know if in Sweden is the same, maybe not, but I wouldn’t believe that’s much different.
