The short (and unhelpful) answer is that I didn't intend to move here.

I came here for a long vacation of sorts (quit dev job in Ireland, swore never work in IT again, first stop on taking a year out to travel the world...).

I was at a point where I'd over-stayed tourist visa and was getting ready to move on and then I met a girl...

So it goes! I don't know why it surprises me, but a sizable portion of the expats here in Berlin originally came for a guy/girl.

Meeting a guy/gal is a major biological driver in life. Other than food/physical safety, what is more important in life?

Thanks for the response; still a helpful answer.
