Greetings,

I've wanted to live abroad in a warmer climate for about 20 years now. This "summer" in the UK is enough to want to drive anyone away. I'm lucky enough to have an Irish passport so could live elsewhere in Europe easily. My partner doesn't and unfortunately has no interest in moving, especially as her job is office based and tied to this location.

Those who live abroad, I was wondering:

  • Where do you live?
  • How did that move come about?
  • Why did you move?
  • What's it been like?
  • Any regrets?
  • What advice would you give?
  • Any other insights
Thanks
