I am from Tijuana in the north of Mexico at the border with the US. I was born and raised here. I am currently looking for new opportunities abroad, for not only do I want the see new places but I want to grow professionally and personally.
I joined expat.com on 07 September 2012.
To start a new chapter. Have a job with growth prospects; learn new language, culture, way of life; have friends. Really become a member of the society.
It is beautiful, there is order, and it is expensive but it more about getting 1 thing that is good, instead of 20 that are cheap and bad. And all the Swedish I've met are really nice and cultured people.
the cold winters, I come from an area that anything below 65°F, is freezing.
I really wanted to grow professionally here, is where I was born and raised, friends and family are here, but things haven't worked that way in the professional arena...
It is the place I was born, great weather, great beaches. In a 2 hr (max) radius you have desert, beach, mountains (snow), and forest. In few places you can sky, surf, dune buggy & rock climb in one day!
The influx of citizens of other states have change the character of the city, unfortunately not in a good way. For most of them don't see this as the place that feeds & house them, they don't see it as a home, so they don't respect it. For me this is sad.
