My life in a Suitcase, well 2 really and a carry on....

So I've started packing! Argh! Its that close!!! I have reconfirmed my flight as advised to by Ryaniair! Good thing I did, I had the time wrong!!!

Its sooo weird trying to pack for 6 months, really it is. I've never done this, I've lived away from home and here I am about to leave the country for 6 months. What have I got myself in for?

Well so far with the packing its going well. I have one which I will live out of for the first two days as I'm staying in a hostel, thats the small one in front. The second is all the big stuff. Then my carry on is going to have all my reading material which I will post about later!

Its strange to try and pack your life away. I have a friend who told me he cry's everytime he packs. Now for someone who was raised camping, thats strange cause that would involve me crying every weekend for the summer!!!

Procrastination...
thats what this is. I dont want to pack. I hate packing always have cause i never know what to pack. My lunch was really long today and I think I offered my dad coffee and cake just to delay me having to go back to packing!

I am leaving
I am not regretting taking this opportunity, but I just hate packing, now where do I find a good man servant at short notice :P

Okay I better get back to it before someone notices I'm blogging again....

I am Annoyed

I was looking through the DFA website, when I found a link to an organisation that might have information for me or so I thought! Well i was wrong!

The group in question are the Cross Care Migrant Project formerly known as Emigrant Advice.



They only have detailed advice on moving to 5 countries, all English speaking!

They are United Kingdom (UK), United States of America (USA), Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

All these countries are English speaking and information is easy to get online due to large Irish Diaspora in these countries. If you want to move to another EU country on the other hand (other then the UK) the information is paltry and I could have listed out the organisations it gives from the top of my head!

There are 27 different countries nearly all of them having their own language why isnt there some information on the website?

So they link to the EURES website (Employment in Europe + general country information) which is a good website but is not substitute for experience! Back to Toytown Germany for me
