What does it take to move to another country? [I Like Travel]

@JP1119 I see your point. Having visited America (but not Missouri) I get it. So how are the Danish lessons going? Or are you planning to marry into the Royal Family like one of our Girls did? Seriously. If you want a better life, start taking steps. But be totally prepared for what you will lose. Fitting into a Euroculture is a different attitude.

@whowasthatmaskedman I don’t know what I plan, I guess I’m still in the dreaming phase. Don’t most Europeans also speak English? I took a sign language summer school class, tried to teach myself Esperanto with an app on my phone, and took four semesters of French in high school and two more in college, got straight A’s. Guess how many languages I can speak fluently now? One: English. I still kind of remember some French words, barely remember any sign language, and absolutely nothing of Esperanto. I assume the reason is I’ve never had the opportunity to immerse myself in another language, so even though I’m very interested and capable of learning other languages I can’t ever make it stick.

Also, even though I’m gifted/have an exceptional IQ, I’ve always taken more time to do normal things than most people. Most people that know me wouldn’t say I’m lazy, but I really struggle at tasks that require me to focus on things that don’t really interest me. I also struggle with procrastination and perfectionism. Do you get those inspirational little sayings on your SW pages? One of them defines discipline as the habit of doing things that need to be done even though you don’t want to do them. I’m really bad at that. I feel like in some place like Denmark someone would know how to help me with that, but here they just kind of expect me to pull myself up by the bootstraps.

@JP1119 OKay. Deconstructing what you have laid out. (And I admit going into work mode where I had to advise and mentor overseas students on how to deal with a foreign culture) Here is what I can offer. English is the major Euro second Language. But you have the think of it in terms that Americans in the south and west think of Spanish. Its common, but not universal. So you will need some sort of support group in place. Maybe working for a company that has a Danish office. (But thats a stretch) You will need a job, which means a skill. Without that you probably wont get past a tourist visa.
And you may well find that being American doesnt afford you the world beating welcome you expect.
I do however have a suggestion you may find easier to take and one you could dig deeper into Denmark from.. Look into Ireland. The Republic. Not the North.. Way more English and a better US connection.

@reflectingmonkey Golden visa.

@FCNantes golden visa?

@ExtremeNext Agreed. We went through hell to keep it out and in my mind no self entitled Indian with an Australia passport who went home to visit his Mother and has enough cash to get a fake negative test should be allowed to scream how he is being discriminated against in a thick Punjabi accent.

In late news, having booted nearly half the returning Passengers for testing Positive to Covid before the flight, at least one has tested Positive as they got off the plane, developing it at 30,000 ft apparently. So I think that supports my case for not trusting Indian testing.

@whowasthatmaskedman lol OK

@Northwest moving from anywhere to Portland is like moving to a different country

@Vivaci I figured that much. Any other applications or legal papers I have to fill out? Major expenses I would have to pay?

I’d probably go via the company that hired me, for they take care of HR stuff. @JP1119
