Like, was there a cost behind, you know, picking up and moving to Germany? And even though it was for employment, did you have to get like visas in place? Did you have to book flights, like things that might not be attainable for people that perhaps don't have that sort of money? Yeah.

Blaise LamportGUEST
And the issue with the visa was there's two German embassies in the UK or two that you can go to if you live in England or Wales.

Blaise LamportGUEST
And then they said to me, why not the embassy for you? And I thought I literally booked an appointment like and I've paid to come back.

I suppose my last question would be, was there ever a moment during your gap year where you would compare your journey to your friends and have any sort of regrets or panic that they were in a different place to you?
