I’m a Spanish person living in the Netherlands for already almost 9 years. In one hand at some point in these last years, I started to feel like I don’t belong in Spain anymore, and on the other hand the, I think I’ll never feel fully integrated in NL. Any thoughts? Advice? Someone feeling the same?
Fantastic advice!
I also tend to be a chameleon in different situations, and I’d like to point out to any naysayers, that even though it may look like these people aren’t being true to “themselves” they really aren’t faking it to fit in. We’re exploring these people’s lifestyles and gaining interest in them. We learn to appreciate these things that our neighbors or coworkers are into and incorporate the things we enjoy into our own personal identity.
