Relocation break
My partner and I decided to move to Vienna because she received an individual grant that offered us a longer-term perspective. I used this break to intensively study German (I reached B1 level), spend a month visiting my family in Mexico (after 3.5 years of not seeing them), develop new networks in the city (I became an affiliated fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies), and spend more time with my child.
