Sorry this is a long post, a lot to say...
To Miu:
Thank you for your reply. The experience I'm looking for is mainly to experience other cultures and people's ways of life. I would ideally like to find a way to stay there for 3-6 months to start with, doing any kind of work that would permit me to pay my costs to live there, and then see where it goes from there. Moreover, in terms of working I am very open to the possibilities. From other places I have read that the IT field is in demand in Europe, which is my background, so I've considered trying to get a full time job taking that route. I'm not sure if you or anyone else who might read this could verify that IT is in demand.
And actually I was considering Finland and Sweden. I actually met a girl from Finland who I discussed areas of Europe that are nice to live and she was telling me a lot about Finland. I'm not really averse to cold weather and I'm not looking to go just to lay on beaches. Like I said I want to experience other cultures and ways of life, so I am pretty much open to going anywhere.
To Mycernius:
I am 24, no children, no wife. A free man, so to speak haha. So it would only be me that would need to get assimilated.
To anyone:
I have also looked into doing summer work/internship programs in Europe. I have found some various things that might be alright but many tend to be geared more towards high school or college students. I was curious if anyone knew about any such programs that are reputable and if so, how I could get information about it.
