Living in another country

Living abroad is ... exciting - bewildering - fascinating - confusing - eye-opening - infuriating - self-confidence-building - self-confidence-destroying ...

Thanks for visiting Tales from a Small Planet, www.talesmag.com, where personal essays, Real Post Reports and Real School Reports tell you "what it's really like to live there."

We're non-profit, and our mission is to share uncensored and honest information about both the delights (new cultures, fascinating people, unique opportunities, exotic foods) and the challenges (loneliness, loss of identity, struggles to accommodate special needs) of living abroad.

Post Report of the Day

Vilnius, Lithuania

What typical restaurants, food delivery services, and/or takeout options are popular among expatriates?

So many different delivery services (WOLT (Take away service), Barbora (grocery delivery) IKEA delivers, Last Mile app). Literally if you can think about it, it can be delivered (BIG thanks to COVID for that!)

What is your home city/country? How long is the trip to post from there, with what connections? How easy/difficult is it to travel to this city/country?

Nashville, Tennessee. It was a long flight! It wasn't hard, and we did it with three children under the age of six, too!
