The TV came with the flat! It’s such a nice flat. We actually found it on Airbnb and luckily, our landlord was about to have a baby and wanted a long-term tenant. It’s worked out so well!
I can’t believe you’ve been in CZ for over four years! Are you at five now??
Still no real rolling pin but I have to admit, the wine bottle is actually pretty effective ;).
I’ve heard that from other expats–if you don’t have a deadline, or are open about staying longer, people will warm up to you longer. I’m so glad it’s feeling like home for you too! I mean, you even have an adorable pup now!! 🙂

Yes! I’m not sure it will ever be “home-home” but we are starting to be pretty happy here 🙂

So true! I visited and adored it–but then I moved here and it’s not all beautiful buildings and vistas. Still! I’m starting to love it. And my candle collection is INSANE but it’s also the coziest ever so, no regrets 😉

I know! I just never wanted one. But maybe now I do 🙂

Yay for you loving your city now and finding a home! I think the first 6months to a year is the most difficult, but then it becomes home in a way. Budapest seems like a lovely place! 🙂

I am a bit behind on my blog reading, and just came across this post today. It made me really happy! Really happy for you that you are liking where you are….really happy for you and E that you are settling in and starting to create “home”….and happy because I got to see you so much on your journeys back to the states. The idea of settling can be tough…but I think you guys are at a good place. And whether you stay, go, or settle somewhere else soon I know you have many more adventures ahead! Love you!

Yesyesyes to all of this. After we started our fourth year abroad (after coming back from the States for the first time), in our minds we kind of committed to staying here… and started buying more very essential things (I finally have a real rolling pin! hah). After this decision, there was this huge mental shift… like *this* was our home. I also noticed with expats in CZ, there is this feeling like other expats don’t want to get too close to you if they know you are just going to leave next year or something. Since we’ve told everyone we’ll be here for the foreseeable future, people have been even nicer and more welcoming.
That soup E made looks SO GOOD + I have the same candle game going as well. Is that your TV or did it come with the flat? (if it did, dang! nice furnished flat, man!)
