I’m currently trying to move to Germany and I didn’t expect this part to be so frustrating.
Not the visa or paperwork — that’s manageable.
It’s the fact that I don’t know a single person there.
I keep searching everything online, reading random posts, watching videos… but it still feels very surface level. I just want to talk to someone who’s already there and ask normal questions like:
“how hard was it actually?”
“are you doing okay financially?”
“would you do it again?”
There’s no easy way to do that though. Everything is either too formal or just not meant for this kind of thing.
So I had this thought — what if there was a simple app/web
where you could:
pick the country you’re moving to
and just connect with people who already made that move
Not like content or influencers… just normal people you can talk to.
I don’t know if this is actually useful or if I’m just overthinking because I’m in that phase right now.
Would you have used something like this when you were moving abroad?
