Hi All,
I was born and raised in Cluj until I was 16yrs old. My heart never left but ended up having a pretty good life here in NY since. I'm married to a native NY-er, we have 2 great kids, living the American Dream in the suburbs. It all sounds great; however we pay the price for it with two very demanding jobs and barely any social life. After not visiting Cluj for 17 years, in 2016 we made the trip for the first time with my husband and kids. Needless to say, my husband fell in love with Cluj , the place, the people and everything in between and it's the only place he wants to go to for vacation now. We also have my childhood home there which we are currently renovating and ton of friends and family whom we love spending time with. Suprise, surprise, we started talking about moving back "home" for me. I still speak some Romanian, fluent Hungarian and English. My husband on the other hand does not speak any Romanian, understands a lot of Hungarian and has perfect English. My kids mostly only speak English (my son 12 some Hungarian but my daughter 7 only English). I guess the reason I'm writing this post is because I'm looking for opinion's, recommandations or possibly looking for someone was in the same situation that made the move and can offer some feedback. I know the answer whether we should or should not make the move is a grey area and only we will know what's best for us at the end of the day. Just thought maybe I could get some guidance from other expats that made such a big life change???
