    Everyone can move.

    I've loved living in Mexico (10 yrs), US (11 yrs) France (19yrs) Germany (5yrs) and 1 yr of who-knows.. And extended travel in 30 or so other countries. I'm the immigrant son of a immigrant son of an immigrant ... Going back, 5-6 generations. I hope to move 2-3 more times.

    If you want to move, do it.

    I did move to the USA from Canada. If I were to move now, I might consider Malta so that I could just get away from it all!

    I'm of the same mindset... There is no 'if you could', because you can if you want to.

    I lived for 3 years in Japan and one in France. I live in the UK now, where I grew up. DH is in the process of becoming British and then we could live in another EU country if we wanted to, but even if we did, I think we'd probably move back again. I can imagine a year or two in France or Germany, though the weather in Scotland would probably suit my DH best :laugh:

    I could have stayed happily in Japan, but it would have been harder work, and going back to live there isn't an option we've seriously considered.

    I've also moved several times and I enjoyed it each time. Originally I'm from Greece, grew up there, and then lived in the US for ~3 years, Germany for another 3 years and now I'm in Japan. I hope I'll get the chance to live in Latin America as well.

    I lived in Aus for a few years and loved it but wouldn't want to live there now. We are back in the uk now and live by the beach which is cool, but the weather sucks. I'd like to live in Italy, but the economy is too bad right now.

    Italy or Australia!

    Italy feels like home to me. I'm always homesick for Italy, even though I only spent a week there.

    Australia would be fun, because I have friends there. Not sure I'd want to stay long term, though.

    I moved from the US to Germany for 3+ years and loved it. I'd be open to moving out of the country again, but not sure where. Preferably someplace warm!

    My fiance and I have talked about Ecuador. A lot of ex-pats are moving there and cost of living is REALLY cheap. I'm pretty well-versed in spanish and would love to immerse myself in it. 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 moved from the US to Scotland. I'll choose somewhere warmer and less rainy for my next locale. Mediterranean, perhaps. :glasses:

    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).
