Throw this one into politics and I'll debate you. Present your case first.

If I won the lottery then you wouldn't see me for dust, Bermuda all the way.
Have considered it for work in the past and was close to doing it. Now mortgage and age of parents would make me think harder. But Thailand would still be a difficult choice if a position appeared. |

I actually left UK in April. I've had a place in Spain for 3 years just got divorced and moved over alone. I can honestly say I've never been happier and its sunny for approx 320 days a year. I'm proud to be British I served in the forces but honestly couldnt put up with the weather and costs and deteriorating attitudes these days. For me it was a no brainer. |

I quite like the idea of New Zealand or Montana - I like wide open grasslands and this country seems to be going to the dogs....will see how Northumbria turns out.
Too much animal cruelty in Spain, I found the Germans too hard-hearted when I lived there...don't like the EU anyway, so I think it would have to be be a different continent. |

I've been offered 4 jobs abroad in the last 2 years, all with 1st year housing and bills paid, overall excellent packages.
USA, Canada, Singapore and Australia.
All turned down for a number of reasons that prevent me from going.
If things were different I'd be in Singapore now. |

I would happily live abroad, not necessarily because of Brexit. I’ve looked into the Scandinavian countries. I like the idea of doing what I’m training to do for the military as a civvy; I’ll then go to Cyprus! |

We’ve already done too fairly big moves. Got out of London soon as the kids were born. Moved to Hertfordshire now we moved to Derbyshire but would def not move abroad. Too English to live abroad. |

I'm still hoping for English independence - when will we get our say? when will we have our own devolved government?
Not really my view, I'm a fan of the Union, a lot of people have given their lives for it. But it would be interesting to see what would happen if there was a vote on English independence.
Back to this thread, sorry for the deviation, I'd either move to the Mediterainian or Scotland (I have dual nationality  ) |

We have considered it, my family is scattered across the globe with some having moved to live in vastly different cultures. The reality of moving to another country is often very different to the dream and we wouldn't do it expecting life to be better all round. It's, as so often in life more about weighing potential benefits against potential negatives.

I am in the process of trying to immigrate to nz. I've been offered a great job out there, if I get the visa I will be off by the end of the year. I have a fair few friends over there and ever since travelling the whole of nz back in the 00's, I've wanted to live on the North Island.
Nothing to do with brexit though. |

Have done it before but always seem to come back.... spent 2 years in Vancouver and a year in Ghana.
The tea just doesn’t taste the same even when you import your favourite brand, that being said I’m always on the lookout to return to Canada - this time it will probably be for good. |

We moved to france 4 years ago now. It's the best decision we have ever made! Not just for us, but our son as well.
We work harder than in the uk, mainly because we work for ourselves. We decided to only work monday to friday 9-5. Cost of living is more expensive generally but we have so much more time together now. |

I would love to move abroad. Unfortunately I have no experience in any field which are abroad. The only thing that would probably put me off if I was to move abroad is not have the benefit of our NHS. |

Absolutely. Quality of life far superior to UK. The costas are there if you are in need tetley tea bags. I'd avoid ex-pat colonies personally so as not to get dragged down. Much rather embrace local culture. |

I had this idea of living in Spain or Portugal.
Brexit will remove my right to do so.
So now I wonder how to regain that right.
My Irish ancestry is too distant to qualify for an Irish passport.
My view of Scottish independence has changed because of Brexit.
I was quite neutral before. Now it is my only route to regaining EU citizen rights. |
