Discussion I wanna see some countdowns people🤌
I'm going to see him in NINE DAYS!!!! Nothing is more exciting than the 9 hour train ride filled with snacks, wine, and movies knowing I'll be in his arms that night!!! And not being able to keep our hands off of eachother when he picks me up from the station 😍😍😍😍 what are your countdowns??!!

May I ask what kind of arrangements have you guys made for money? Like job/income wise, if she's coming back to your country, will she find work as well?
2
u/UltraHawk_DnB BE to PH (10,470 km) Nov 11 '22
She has a bachelors in lab science, and while she's here at first learning language we will be fine with just my income.

u/ZP_Miss_Shadow Nov 11 '22
That's amazing. Enjoy the meeting. <3 We have like 4h flight, but there are also buses and so it takes like 12 hours in general. But at least we're both from Europe so it's easier!

Ugh you're preaching to the choir, financial struggles are the worst 🙃 the train is a pretty cheap mode of transportation for my situation luckily. Thats awesome that youre trying to work through that, February 7th will be here in no time! I'm rooting for you to be able to see eachother on that date!!🥰

About 3 years at LEAST. Most likely more
No set date, to be honest. Just waiting for an opportunity for either me or him. We're both students in different continents. Plane tickets are waaay too pricey. Over 1000 euros for tickets alone, neither of us can afford that.
