  • I never have but would like to. I've got my eyes on Sweden and Germany. DH is in the Navy Reserves so he says we can't unless he resigns his commission. I've asked him if we can utilize his position in the Navy to get to some place else but he's also a professor and doesn't want to leave his university. He recently showed me a job description for a professorship at a uni in Finland. I begged him to apply but he didn't. :(

    I think the most difficult part of living abroad would be being so far from family. Also, we have 2 dogs and 2 cats and they would have to come with us.

  • The first 6 years of my life were spent abroad.  We lived in London, The Hague in Holland, Stavanger and Tananger in Norway, and finally Balikpapan in Borneo.  We were only in London and The Hague for a couple of months.  Borneo was only a month because my mom could not stand it. 

    My dad also moved to Moscow while I was in college, with the plan to relocate my family as soon as space became available in the American High School for my sister.  His job got pulled before they made the move, but I still got to spend a little over a month in Russia with him the summer before came home.

    I was 12 so yes and no. My dad took me on a tour of Italy for my 12th bday.  Looking back it was really cool, but I know I didn't appreciate it as much as I would now.
