    To sell up everything and go live overseas?

    I know some people would do it very easily, but some of you have kids and families and seem to actually like the country you're from; so what about you?

    What reason would actually persuade you to leave it all behind and start fresh in a strange land?

    I couldn't just pack up and leave if it meant I wouldn't see my family that often. We sometimes fight, but we are very close. I've always wanted to leave the US...but I couldn't stay away forever.

    I dunno. I actually got accepted to a foreign Uni, but I'm not sure if I wanna go. I thought that's what I wanted, but I'm not sure anymore. I don't know if I wanna go. I kinda like it here :eek:
    All I know is that if I ever leave, I'll definitely come back one day.

    it would take a good opportunity and for me to accept it.

    i'm not just going to willy nilly decide to go, but if sometime comes up and it intrigues me, then i'll go. i have no problem going away.

    If that's not too personal to ask.

    Zurich is still pretty close so it's not like you'd be on the other side of the planet or anything.

    It might be a very eye-opening experience to live in another country for a while.

    Wouldn't take much at all for me to move permanently.
    I'd just rather 5 or 10m others left before me tho..

    My time spent in England could get less and less over the next few years.

    All it took for me was realizing how easy and viable it was.

    It would likely take the loss of everyone to do so. Because I'm not going far away without taking my brother, parents, Daniel, and his parents. And it's awfully difficult to convince 6 people to move all at once, lol.

    I've thought of NY, Chicago, Miami, Toronto, Dubai, Shanghai, Moscow, Switzerland,Marbella, H Kong, and such places.

    Might be fun, at the right time..

    I do not fit in the USA, at least not now.

    I don't really fit anywhere but I fit better in other countries.

    I am suffering from over stimulation on my vacation in the USA.

    Need to go outside and smoke a bowl and watch it rain.

    All I needed to leave the USA was a desire to leave the culture and the taxes behind.

    Not much. My country has some good things, but also some things that bother me. I really do have some kind of click with a lot of my fellow countrymen though, I just understand them a little bit better than most other people in general.

    It would take my mum and her ex boyfriend (from 20+ years ago) to decide to get back together :D

    Best decision ever.

    i like it here, but i'm highly adaptable; i would probably like it pretty much anywhere. it would help if i knew i would have a job wherever it was i wanted to move, and it would also help if my mom was dead.
