thoughts on emigration
My daughter moved to NZ 4 yrs ago with no plans to return to the UK. I've visited a few times & understand why she loves it so much. But the grass always seem greener when on holiday
She marries a Kiwi next year which has prompted discussions of me applying for a visa. I'm lucky(?) to work in IT so have sufficient points to apply as a skilled worker but the process is costly with no guarantee I'll be accepted at any stage nor whether I could obtain a job (re: age).
I have no loyalty to this country; there is no "significant other" and my only other family is a sister & niece.
In my 20's, I emigrated to Germany but due to divorce it was a short-lived experience. However, I found it reasonably easy to live abroad (pre EU).
Have you migrated? Would you? & if yes, where to? Pro's / Con's?
I'm hoping that someone will offer advice / share their experience which will prompt me to make a decision before the opportunity window expires :confused1:
