Starting a New Life

My name is Queenie, 35 years old , from the Philippines. I have a 5 years old son who is a German citizen , and We lived in the Philippines country side . Me , my homeland is Philippines been lived there 35 years, as I am 35 old now. Philippines is a beautiful country and I love my home so much. Surrounded by people who love me and my son and that we love love as well. Our life is very simple yet Happy and full of adventure, fun , and Great memories of almost my whole life. And my son where His birthplace , started his Life and and the place where He first connected his soul.

Now, we move here in Germany (me and my son) Our New Home. Germany is Great country as what we have seen and heard (before) . However, it always different from the Life I have built in Philippines my home town. Therefore, Starting a new life here in Germany is very challenging for me because we starts our life here in Germany from scratch, Because we moved here in Germany without any proper plan and preparations….. I didn’t expect that I can come here in Germany because I am not Married to the father of my son, ha ha ha but since my son is a German citizen, He was the one carried me here in Germany . I would like to share my experiences on how we started our life here in Germany though until now I’m still learning to adopt the country and sorting our life here in Germany.

Best Tips on Moving Abroad to Live :

Learn their National Language – I do speak an English language but this is wasn’t enough specially my home location here in Germany is in the countryside much away from big cities, so very seldom people speak English and very little word of english they speak. its very important to learn their National language which is Deutsch language because is your way of communicating with people and way of connecting with them. Its my bad that I didn’t learn before I came here in Germany, I thought my English is enough but I was wrong. Honestly, I’m struggling…. so much!

Do not Move to the Country At Winter Season – depends on the country you will go to, here in Europe or other country that is different season from your home country . Because Winter is very Cold, it will change your mood believe me ! very seldom I go out because its very cold outside…

Mid – Spring is the best time to go or move Abroad to live in – So that your impressions and feelings will welcome you a beautiful start because you can enjoy exploring around, exploring your new world enjoy the weather , the Sun, flowers , and adventure…

Carry some Food from your Home – even food here in Germany I am struggling. Because, its not easy to change the food you use to have in your hometown even though how good food I eat here in Germany I am always hungry of my home food. bit by bit You will adopt the food here.

Other things you can learn in the country itself, if you have time you can search and read and learn in the internet before moving. do not hesitate to ask people who have experienced already, and don’t be shy.

Best Tips on Starting a Life Abroad :

1. Go around your Home/Place – Go outside , explore the area. Feel the vibrations and meet your new home , and yourself welcome from the atmosphere.

2. Learn the Community in your Place – Go explore and widen your horizon. know their town, supermarket, stations, and so on… places that are important .

3. Ask about things that are Prohibited or Restricted – Maybe you came from a country like mine The Philippines. And one time, my son and I wanted to have picnic and make a bonfire somewhere near in the forest… here in Germany is not allowed specially when its not your property. and Picking apples in a property that does not belong to you, and so on…while my home country ,mostly are allowed.. well , some people is a bit hard but if you ask permission, that is great.

4. Opening hours of Market/Shops – in Philippines it’s almost everyday is open and market day in town and the Sundays is the big market day. in Germany Sunday is almost all are closed, specially supermarket they are really closed.

The rest you will learn on your own. no worries and don’t be afraid. if you coming to Germany , you can contact me if you have questions . I don’t know everything yet, however I can ask people or here about your concerned whenever you need it.
