This is how I realised I was totally up for moving to another country. I moved out of my dad's house in 2008 and haven't been back. I live 250 miles away, and James is even further from his parents in Scotland. We have no family nearby. And it's not as if we're popping round to see our friends constantly, either. I mean yeah, it would suck being in another country and not being able to bomb down the motorway to see people on a weekend, but places like the Netherlands and Germany are so accessible from the UK I think the infrequency of visits would be pretty much the same as it is now. The only thing that slightly concerns me is getting a job in a foreign country where my language skills won't be perfect, but maybe that's not a huge problem in north-west Europe as it would be in Asia or central/eastern Europe.
I just find myself wanting to live in the UK less and less. Maybe once we've done up the house in a few years and can sell it on I'll be fired up and ready to go.
