Hi Ute. Your story reminds me so much of my own. Although, for many years I was very happy to be a full time home parent without an interest to return to work. However, once I did want to return I realized I hadn’t keep my skills up to date, and it was very difficult to get my career back. Great advice to keep their skill levels up and maintain connections. By the way, I’ve recently got a job in Italy and would love your help in learning the language. 🙂

Thank you so much, Madre Exilio! You made my day! I’m doing what I can and, honestly, would love to do more…
Sending you big hugs from the Netherlands 😉

Hi Ute! I think this is the story of so many women who stayed at home with the kids in another country. I’m glad I came to visit. I think a similar think happens to expats as well, people like me that were forced to leave their home country due to the country situation.
Very interesting piece of writing! I think you are actually doing a great job with your career. Not to mention how many people you inspire and help.

A big hug from Budapest
