"Welcome to the real world!"

My world in England still had bills, budgets, rent, and you know... "real world" stuff. Moving overseas does not magically melt all of your problems away.

Unless you have applied for or lived on a visa, you have no idea how difficult, expensive, and stressful they are. Sometimes expats are simply out of options and have no other choice regardless of what they want and are so willing to work for. Not only is saying this extremely patronising and naive, but it's probably a touchy subject - most people have sleepless nights over visa issues.

Luck is all I needed for all of those endless visa applications! No months of hard work, tenacity, or determination required. Choosing to live abroad is incredibly complicated and requires a lot of time, patience, budgeting, sacrifices, and organisation.

I assure you my taste buds won't recoil in horror at your spaghetti.
