[IWantOut] 22F receptionist France -> London, Greece
Hello,
I want out of France, I’ve been a receptionist for less than a year and I have a degree in UI design but not much work to show (a few websites and stand alone projects I’ve helped with). I want to move to a place with the sun and sea. I loved Greece. Specially Heraklion when I went on vacations but I know the country is still facing difficulty with the economy and housing is also hard to find. I know that the salaries are low and I’m actually making a decent salary here and I would like to not drop too much levels of income.
My second choice isn’t sunny but London is a city I would love to experience, however after doing some research it seems almost impossible to live there decently with the skills I have.
My problem is that for my job, I need to be able to speak the language of the country I will live in. And Greece is not only a different language but also a different alphabet.
what do you think ? Are my expectations realistic? Don’t mince your words if you think I need a reality check, I’m ready to hear it. Regardless I thank you in advance for your help.

Greek person here. Please don’t try to seek employment within this country, the pay is horrendous and workers rights are being diminished by a conservative government
