Episode 2: How I Survived Without a Plan

THE GOLDEN MOVE DIARY

8/9/2025

I arrived in a new country with just a suitcase and a heart full of hope. No job, no contacts, no clear plan. Just a deep belief that I could make it work.

At first, it all felt surreal, more like an extended vacation than real life. Days filled with sunshine, exploring new places, and the excitement of the unknown.

I wasn't quite sure when "vacation" would end and "real life" would begin.

There wasn't the immediate pressure to figure everything out, but that also meant I had to slowly adjust to the fact that this was now my home.

Without a roadmap, I learned to embrace uncertainty. I took small steps to create routines, meet new people, and find my place, even when it didn't feel concrete yet.

I didn't have all the answers, but I had one key thing: the willingness to keep moving forward, even when things felt unreal.

In this diary, I share how I navigated those first months, balancing the magic of the new with the challenges of starting from scratch.

If you're dreaming of your own move but worried about not having a plan, this story is for you.

👉 It all felt like a long holiday, until the doubts slowly crept in. Keep reading and feel the shift from excitement to uncertainty.
