FEELING LOST...

Moving to another country is a big deal. Aside from all the turmoil of dealing with the paperwork, visas, a foreign language, finding affordable housing, work and perhaps a reliable school for your children, you may feel overwhelmed by additional changes.

Family and dear friends you´re leaving behind. Another culture with daily life practices you find strange or even hostile. You may be traveling along  with your partner who has a job, but how about you, are you leaving your prosperous career behind? You may have a hard time finding a job of your own and get credits for your former studies and career. You may feel clumsy in a language you do not master. You may have unfinished business in your past that you want to clarify. You may struggle as a member of the LGBT+ community, and even though Amsterdam and other cities are relatively open-minded, you may have trouble making new friends or find romance. Or maybe you simply miss the old familiar surroundings, landscapes, buildings, smells and sounds. All these factors – and many more – can make you anxious or depressed. The good news is, there is a way out!
