For many people graduating college is this glorious relief, that couldn't come sooner. No more term papers, sleepless nights, and best of all, paying the ridiculously high tuition fees. But for me, college was the best seven years of my life. Why graduate when I could continue this lifestyle of learning while exercising my social skills: social drinking, social partying, and social experimentation. Graduation meant reality, and reality meant the end of the glorious twenty something years I spent in school. The obvious thing to do after graduation would be to get a big girl job that brings in enough dough to pay those pesky students loans that seem to pop up on a monthly basis. I chose an alternate route, but the one I am most familiar with. It's called traveling. I supported myself through college by maintaining two jobs, but I always found ways to get out there and explore. Returning back to Europe was my main priority. I already have a backbone and somewhat of a social network (more so the social drinking network) in Germany, so I figured it would be the best place to start the second quarter of my life. This time around I am taking more of a mature and "adult-like" approach to living abroad. Starting with finding a job, an apartment, and finding means to support me and my dog. That's right, my dog. She's my nugget size, flagellant-loving, chronic snoring, fun loving chug (chihuahua/pug), that I cannot leave behind. So come join us on our journey in search of new beginnings, new experiences, and figuring out how to live as a grownup in a foreign land ; )
