    Alright, so in my future (Most likely not for a few years) I'm considering moving to Europe (from Canada.) I was wondering, has anyone here done this? How difficult was it? What was your main challenges, was it hard to find a job and such and such. I'd love hearing it more from a person with experience doing it. Thanks in advance :3

    Never done something like that, but both my brother and sister lived in the US for a year. My brother as an exchange student in Michigan, and my sister as an au pair in San Fransisco. I know it's not the same , but both of them said a year was quite a long time. You are away from everything you know about your own culture, family, friends, language etc. For me, it would be too big a change to move that far away. Maybe because I love living in Denmark, but yeah. Visiting family is just essential for me, and to talk to my siblings every day.

    Where do you wanna live in Europe?

    I was thinking St. Malo, France, I visited there last spring break, and pretty much fell in love with the place. I'm not the best at speaking french, but my boyfriend is fluent, so he can teach me :p
    I was also thinking England too maybe, possibly Holland. I've got the travel bug, that's for sure.
