    A lot of my English friends say they'd like to go to America and a lot of my American friends say they'd like to come over to England, I think we should switch for a bit :laugh:

    I see all these other posts from people that have lived in all these other countries and I just have to wonder how do you afford it? What do you do for income?

    I worked in various countries over the last 10 years, and now I study. It was fairly easy to find work before 2008, and then I moved to Norway, which hasn't really been hit by economic problems. As for studying, I have dual-citizenship with an EU country, and have lived in the country I'm in long enough to qualify for student aid (plus it helps that there's no tuition cost).

    It's a lot more difficult to move now (to Europe anyway), unless you're highly-skilled and work in a field lacking people. EU rules have become very strict about hiring outside the EEA. It's possible to get a student visa, but it doesn't give you the right to stay permanently after studies are finished.

    Everyone can move.

    If you want to move, do it.

    I appreciate your can do attitude but surely it's a tad more complicated than that.

    For example, unless I marry a US citizen or am sponsored by my job (and might I add that my qualification isn't recognised in the US) I couldn't possibly acquire a visa.

    Once I'm 32, I also wouldn't be eligible for any longer term visa for Canada or the UK (except that I'm married to a Brit).

    Also obviously there is some kind of financial commitment. Some people can barely afford rent let alone a flight!

    That said, if my qualification would transfer as easily (or if it were a 2 year visa which would make the effort worth it), I would move to Canada for a while so I could travel more on that side of the world. I already live in the UK. I would happily go back to Australia. I would also love to live in one of the scandinavian countries (if my degree were recognised there).

    I moved from Wales to England 40 years ago. We have no poisonous spiders, only one poisonous snake (of which I have only ever seen one - and that was asleep). Temperate climate, hmmm? What else, oh yes, my professional qualification is recognised here. When I retire I might think again.

    Back to the United States! Not a fan of England in general after living here for four years :/ Only good thing about here is that it's super cheap to travel to OTHER countries :D

    Italy is the most realistic because my husband is on board for that one. I'd like to move to Australia to work as a biologist. I would also move to South or Central America.

    Right now anywhere that it is warm! Do NOT like cold weather.

    Would love to check out Ireland, Italy or Australia though.

    Already did - UK to the US.

    When the kids are old enough to kick out, the wife and I have our eye on NZ, Aus or Canada. The wife (who is American) would like to live in England for a while. But with 20% sales tax and nearly a quid fifty for a liter of fuel, I can't say I'm keen to return :laugh:
