I have been in Berlin, Augsburg, Edinburgh, Wolfsburg. I feel as comfortable here as nowhere else, maybe also in Beauly (near Inverness). I am not confined, I am finally at home. I have work that I enjoy, friends, everything is there. If I can no longer live in my house, I just move up the mountain.That’s why 25-year-old prospective homebuyers also come to me who plan their life in an "age-appropriate" bungalow. Built once and planned to stay in the same house and the same place for the next 50 years... how bleak. How much freer and more interesting people live there, for example Americans, English, Swedes, Dutch, etc. They buy and sell houses/apartments as it fits their life plan. I have lived in Hamburg, Berlin, Freiburg, Saarbrücken and now here. I would die if I knew I had to stay in one place forever. How many interesting experiences and stages of life would I probably miss.
I don't have to move 1000 times. But I also don't have to compulsively put down roots. I could well imagine moving to the Harz someday. Isn't it nice there?
