Considering Leaving Germany Due to Rising Racism – Anyone Else in the Same Boat?

Hi everyone,

I've been living in Germany since 2017. I moved here as an international student in my early twenties, learned the language, finished university, and landed a great job. I’m happy here and really love it; it feels like my second home. I have friends, work, and lots of memories, but I've never quite felt like I truly belong.

Lately, with the rise of AfD and increasing racism, I'm really worried about my future. I worked so hard in my youth just to have a normal life, but now I can't see that happening in Germany anymore.

I'm thinking about moving to another country, but I have no idea where to go. It needs to be an English-speaking country because learning a new language at my age feels daunting. It’s a tough situation and I’m feeling pretty lost.

Anyone else having similar thoughts? What are your experiences?
