I started thinking about moving to another country back in 2016, and in 2018, I actively started exploring options, including considering Estonia. I went to an Estonian tutor and began learning the language.

Overall, my progress in learning Estonian was going well. I had lessons with a teacher and made efforts to practice through the internet.

Somewhere in the middle of 2018, I made my first attempts to find a job or at least understand how to search for one in Estonia. I visited the International House of Estonia and searched for job opportunities on various websites. However, at that time, my qualifications were insufficient for working in the Estonian IT sector.

But for various reasons, this plan was not meant to happen. I wasn't particularly keen on moving to that country, as I didn't like the situation of immigrants in Estonian society, nor did I appreciate the climate. As a result, the relocation kept getting postponed, and time kept passing.
