Pursue the Vienna dream after a breakup or give up altogether?
Hi everyone,
I'm a Spaniard and I've been living in Tyrol (on and off) since 2018 and always had a thing for Vienna.
I had plans to move with my now ex-gf after this coming winter season. We would do long distance so she could settle in the city and sort herself out with studies and whatnot. Well after a month and a half after she moved she decided to break up and all my/our plans were effectively dead.
My question is: how feasible is for a single person to live by himself in the city? Money-wise, I have quite a few savings so I can live comfortably in the city for like 2 years if I wanted to.
I have a Hotelkaufmann Ausbildung from IHK München and I'm employed in the luxury hotellerie industry. The problem is that I don't have a higher education (or Matura) and that might be a big issue. Also I'm 45 and I don't know if doing the whole uni/college for the next 4-5 years is gonna bring me to where I want to be.
To be honest I don't know if I want to move because I really want to or I would just be chasing what it was going to be at some point.
I know the city because I've been there many times before and some of my best friends also live there, so I wouldn’t be completely alone.
Another option would be to go back to Spain even though our economy is in tatters...
I appreciate the feedback and also constructive criticism :)
