Sweden -> Denmark
Denmark -> Sweden
Sweden -> Malta (2 kids, stayed only 4 months in Malta)
Malta -> Bolivia (stayed 2 years)
Bolivia -> Sweden (bought a house and finally we will settle)
Sweden -> Spain (with 3 kids, got an offer I could not refuse)
Spain -> Sweden (in year 2023, hope this will be the final)
Some pain points: changing schools for the kids, learning new languages, residency and citizenship, paperwork, selling and buying house, transporting 98 boxes of stuff, having friends and relatives spread around the globe etc
My wife is from Bolivia and there I learned spanish. I like to live in all 3 countries (spain, sweden, bolivia) - they all have their pros and cons. We have kept our house in Bolivia and we will also keep our house in Spain when we move back to Sweden.
Important question: has this been a net positive for our 3 kids? I think yes. They speak 3 languages and have seen the world and lived in different cultures more than most other kids.
- pimlottc 5y agoIf I might ask, what prompted all those moves? Sounds like at least one was for a job, perhaps others too?
