Hello everyone,
I left a western European country (think sunset at 16:30 in December) for a southern European country. I’m visiting my family for the holidays, and it just feels very strange to be back here.
I now live in a city, and the contrast with the urban sprawl in my previous country is almost jarring. Car dependency is also quite high, while I mostly walk around where I live now.
For people who experienced similar situations, did you find any way to deal with it? I’m only here for a few weeks, so it’s fine, but I guess I just wanted to see if someone has any tip.
It also probably means I made a good decision to move where I live now.
I’m back to my home country after so many years of living abroad. I still get told on occasion that I don’t sound local even though I’ve been here a while and it kind of bothers me. Lol
