  • Why don't more people leave the UK in general?

    I have. I'm back now.

    Quick poll: who has moved abroad for work for a substantial amount of time? 18 months or more?

  • US, 18 months in total, 24 yo when I moved out there. Would have probably been much longer if not for the country changing massively after 9/11.

    We'd seriously consider moving to France or Spain if something came up, but B****t. Would also need myself and 9yo daughter to learn more than just beer French/Spanish but that wouldn't stop us, we'd pick it up quickly living there. I could do my current job from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection.

  • Switzerland and Belgium for two years in my late twenties/early thirties.

  • Always wanted to work abroad, never did. Think it took me so long to get a job in my chosen industry that by the time I got it, was just happy to be working.
    Interviewed for a job in Germany, but didn’t get that.

    Always thought I’d live and work outside the uk, probably in Spain/France I’m happy in any big city, learning a new language would be equal parts terrifying and exciting, but now with kid and Brexit, feels like the window for that is closing at a rate of knots..

    Probably my biggest regret after spending a year seeing what else was out in the world after redundancy..

  • South Africa from 0-4
    Surrey from 4-8
    Netherlands 8-19
    Australia 19-21
    London/Sussex 21-23
    Spain/South Africa 23-26
    London 26-36
    UAE 36-39
    Singapore currently.

    No idea where home is right now.

  • Me, gone to see where you were born. Broaden horizons, shorting Stearling, always fancied dragon boating. I’m committed until at least the end of 2020.
