| To my way of thinking, if you don't have too many ties, are the left side of 40 (?) and have commutable skills that are in demand then if you need to know if you'd be apperciated in say Canada or Oz (2 of the favourite locations) then why not?
If it all falls flat you can come home and no one will think the less of you. Far from it, others will want to know how and why as they are toying with the very same idea.
I really, really came close to emigrating to Oz in 1989.
I have had several clients who have upped sticks to Oz, and a few to the US and one to Canada.
They have sunshine, warm seas and some have snow too, but it's more than that, it's an out-doors lifestyle that we can only glimpse on the tv such as Neighbours, they all have a great way of life that revolves around the community, physical persuits and having trips all over their new found continent.
The post cards I get! BasŁarDs!
I was in Oz for a year and it still draws me from afar.
Having a business or two, children, homes and all that are reasons why I have not made the change.
The older you get, the less likely your dreaming will become the reality.
If nothing else, you have a good range of opinions here on this site, yet the over-riding concensus is that if you are mentally 1/2 way there, what's stopping you stepping out the front door?
Com'on - what are your thoughts?
