To think that moving overseas to escape your problems is daft

Because overseas will just have new problems (compounded by people thinking you're an annoying foreigner)

Depends what your problems are, I suppose. If your problem is "there are no jobs in my field where I am" and there are jobs in country X, that could work.

But as they say, wherever you go, there you are. If your problem is with yourself, you won't escape it.

Travelled to the Canaries on Friday via Madrid so entered the EU there. It was no problem at all, off the plane, eye and fingerprint scan at an automated machine then joined the short non EU passport queue to get my passport stamped and waved through. No delays and all straightforward BUT my husband was on the ball with it all, the requirement to visit the machine first wasn’t madeclear at the airport. So just remember that and I’m sure you’ll be fine
