How did your move to Berlin go? I've been thinking about doing the same
1 comments

I built it up in my head for months before actually pulling the trigger, but it was actually much easier than I'd expected! Getting a visa, making friends, networking, starting to learn German—it all went smoothly enough to make me regret not moving here earlier. =) Finding a place to live was the hardest part, and it seems that the situation hasn't improved much unfortunately, but it's still definitely manageable.

If you'd like, I'd be happy to give you some pointers via email (and/or in person of course if you're ever in town for a visit). My contact info's in my profile. Just note that I might be a bit slow to respond!

So what made you so much happier in Berlin than presumably in the US ?
