So people have this perception that living in another country is super duper and loads better than the UK.
Well I am sat here, 8:21 PM in a hotel room, New Plymouth. We have a ohh let me say it, bank holiday weekend so making the most.
BUT, is it any different to being in the UK.
I have a beach, a top view of the west coast and 27deg. BUT, reality hits. 2 1/2 yr old routine kicks in and he is in bed by 7:30pm. Resides me to the hotel room (single room) with the curtains drawn reading hairy mclairy from donalsons dairy.
Point being, living abroad sure gives you a better insight into new cultures, countries and ways of living. I still have to deal with the same old same old day in day out. Dilemma I have spending 6K English pounds to come back to the UK for 4 weeks... brothers wedding. Its a lot of cash to spend on "seeing people" . 1.5K English Pounds would get us to Samoa for 2 weeks.
Point being, the emotion side of being away and quantifying that to a financial cost, hard decision.
I love living in NZ, I have some good work opp and the lifestyle is alright... but it is far far far away from anywhere else.
If you are thinking about moving over seas, think about the little things that you think you can overcome. You will find they hit the hardest.
