Hi there!! I’m currently doing research because it’s my dream to move to Europe when I’m done with college (maybe just for a couple of years). Quick question – do you think it was the right move to live in NYC first to get career experience, or do you think it would be possible to go straight there?

In reply to Ceelz. Hi! Thanks for reading. One of my dear friends in Stockholm is African-American (she's from California originally) and loves it there. Sweden is very tolerant of all cultures and backgrounds, which is something I always appreciated as an American! I actually live in Germany now and I highly recommend Berlin; it's a diverse, laid-back city with so much to see and do. Best of luck to you!

Do you think you would’ve had the same positive experience with the Swedes and in general if you were Black? Were any of your colleagues or new friends Black? I’m seriously considering moving to Europe this summer for music, and Sweden wasn’t on my list but could be. Yes, I’m Black. A single Black woman. I’m thinking of moving to Berlin, possibly Paris. And I’m glad things worked out for you.

In reply to Taste of France. Moving to Europe for your job is definitely the ideal scenario! That way everything is (basically) taken care of. Glad to hear you're still loving Europe (and that you fell in love with a local)!

In reply to Lotten. Great question! To be honest, I was really lucky with my first job in Stockholm as so many of my colleagues were Swedes. This gave me the unique opportunity to not only work with them but also get to know them on a personal level. Some of my closest friends to this day are Swedish so I have nothing but positive praise for this small but might country ;) I know Swedes are often thought of as being a bit "cold" and "standoffish" but in my experience, this was very far from the case. They just take a little warming up to!

In reply to Living In Magnolias. Thank you for your awesome insight and kind words! There are, as you know, major perks to living in Europe and understandably, some downsides. Kudos to you for making it all work :)

In reply to Amanda. You absolutely should! I've now made the move to Germany so clearly I can't get enough of Europe ;) Best of luck, Amanda!

Such a great post! I live for my entire life in Europe but I’m aware that visas are frustrating – I heard from my US friends as well from my non EU-friends that getting a visa and then getting a permission to work or study + the money you have to pay since overseas students have to pay more than us (sometimes we don’t pay at all or we pay maybe 50-100$ yearly to support our Universities and then if you don’t pass exam twice or thrice you have to pay for every ECTS point and that can be expensive especially if you want to study medicine then it can be up to 10k$ or more for one subject). Moving – even to another city – can feel isolating and I feel like it’s easier to move when you’re moving with a friend or someone close but hopefully now we have skype or cheap flights (not always of course) – there’s always a way to survive this period of feeling lonely and get the best from living in Europe or anywhere else 🙂

I think a new start anywhere can be isolating, frustrating or even soul crashing. But I totally agree with you that you do find an inner strength that you knew nothing of. And I do think that Europeans have a high level of tolerance for a lot of things which at the end of the day helps you settle in quite comfortably in the end.

Interesting to read. Did you find it easy to integrate with the Swedes and make Friends in Sweden?

I moved to Europe for my job. The idea was to stay 2 years. The benefits of doing it that way:
–my employer made the case for my visa and helped with paperwork at every step
–my employer paid for the move, including shipping some of my stuff, storing the rest and my rent in a temp flat until my stuff arrived
–I had a ready-made group for support, friendship and info
–I had a nice mix of expats and locals to see daily
–I bought tons of stuff (vacuum, washer, car) from the co-worker I replaced, who moved back to the U.S.–it was so much cheaper than buying new
–my employer paid for a fancy accounting firm to do my U.S. and local taxes, which is pretty complicated.
I ended up marrying a local. We moved to the U.S. for a while, but he missed Europe too much, so we moved back. It can happen.
