I moved away from the city I studied at to where I am now (at my grandmother's) out of convinience. I really dislike this city here, and I will be deciding where I end up partially by the city I will be living in.

I went on a 2-month EuroTrip and visited some of the cities I had in mind, so I know what my favorites are :)

Which path to take to maximize happiness? This sounds as if you could tell what will happen if you chose X or Y. But you can't. It is nice to plan things, but it usually goes different than you expect. Pick something you feel good about and let the rest come to you. You can't control everything.

Mind if I ask which city you're in currently?

Europe is a great place to go on a trip like that, were you backpacking or staying in legitimate places I had a long talk with a professor earlier about the last part that you brought up, and what he said is very true and that is that I have a split personality right now in terms of what I want to do and what could make me happy. Fork in the road.

Currently I am in Düsseldorf, studied in Ulm until the end of March.

I mostly visited friends all around Europe. I spent half a year in London for an Erasmus-internship and met some people there. My family is pretty mixed (polish/palestinian/german), so they are everywhere.

I did most of the trip by train, some with blablacar or bus.

I have to be honest, I am giving advice that I am having troubles following myself. I know what is right to do but still can't decide because of fear or whatever. If you thought that I have everything figured out, be assured that I have no clue :D
