Hi emmita -

I'm an American who used to live in Europe many years ago, and would love to move back! I have 2 teens who would learn a lot from the experience, but job opportunities and language issues keep us here.

So, for now, I sponsor students (usually French, for my daughter) to stay here for short term or year long stays, my. And I am planning to work on improving my German language skills that have become very rusty after 20 years!

I'm interested to hear what others might have to say about getting back to Europe.

Hello kcndc,

Glad you found the group which seems to have a slow start! Not sure how to advertise it to reach more people...

Anyway, thank you for your post. Have you ever considered to teach English in Germany? I got my ESL Teaching Certificate last year and I remember an American woman who came to tell us about her experience doing just this. She just went to Germany on a whim, but quite prepared with resumes and everything, and has been teaching business English to professional adults ever since. That could get you started.

A website that you may know is www.escapeartist.com It's a somewhat good resource for expatriation and working abroad. Maybe not as good to find jobs...

I hope that helps. I saw in your tags "airline industry" Do you work in that field? Any leads through that to go back?

Like you, I would be interested to hear other people's experiences or opinions with going back to Europe.

Take care.
