that’s exactly what i’ve done since leaving my last home base. at least the social familiarity is comforting even if you have to move all the time

I think it’s more about feeling de-located regardless! Thankfully I’ve got some great friends spread around the globe but of course I always love meeting new people too. That’s a good idea to consider, thanks

That’s a good plan! I’m sort of doing that now until I find somewhere that I know I’ll want to stay longer. I’ll take half of a home base rather than none haha

it used to be easy and now it’s not – most people have gotten rejected in the last year. you can apply for a student visa though and that’s pretty much guaranteed

(i’ve lived there the past two summers - falls)
