If you're fed up with life in the UK, where would be a good place to live? Has anyone moved to Ireland or France or Portugal or elsewhere?

DH and I were talking about how much we dislike this country right now and are considering moving abroad.

We both work, can support ourselves, could buy a property overseas, pay for healthcare (I think that's a condition in some countries), we both speak English and we have no dependents.

But where? Where would you go? Or have you moved and if so, where did you move to and how is it compared to here?

Thank you everyone, some interesting thoughts here. Maybe the UK countryside is a good idea, I'm going to consider that.

Thanks to Brexit and the general anti-immigrant sentiment sweeping the world, you will be hard pressed to find anyone who will take you, unless you have extremely marketable and transferrable skills.

P.s. I moved here, for my ex. Initially I had a work visa, and this isn't great because it means you are tied to a particular employer.

Also be prepared for people to dislike you because you are an immigrant/outsider

theres some beautiful towns and villages in the midlands, Yorkshire and further north. The Labour government will be gone in a couple of years. Don’t let them chase you away.

Yes, perhaps Reform will win the next election! 😆

I'm Irish and that's just ridiculous.

What actual transferable skills do you have?
What makes you attractive to another country?

New England or South Korea - lived both of them (South Korea is brutal in the Summer though)

New England Fall and Winter are epic.
