    I live in the same suburb that I grew up in and my company is within 10 km of where I both live and grew up. I would only leave if I really had too. This is home for me and nothing beats an African sunset.

    A couple of our friends have done it and couldn't be happier. One moved to San Fran the others to Oz near Adelaide. Just got me thinking....
    All other opinions are wrong....

    I'm Irish, but I moved here to Barcelona 12 years ago. Now I feel more at home here than in my native Dublin. I don't bump into people I know in the centre of Dublin anymore, but I do here.

    Moving to another country is a good thing, to broaden your experience. However, it's not for everyone. There are always frustrating days, and being a foreigner on top of it all can test people. The question of identity is important, and it's something that gets talked about a lot here in Catalunya.

    I find that when I go back to Ireland, the question of whether it was a good idea to move is always in the back of your head. It's a good thing, because I think it's good to ask yourself if you're happy, to appreciate when you are or to do something about it if you're not.

    Now I can't imagine living in Dublin again.

    Considered moving to Oz (fortunately both my wife and I are professional people and would be welcomed with open arms) as I was sick and tired of watching Labour ruin Britain but then the Tories won and besides my wife wouldn't want to leave her mum, so who knows if Mother in Law snuffs it and Labour win again I'll be off like a shot.

    No need to. No desire to. The United States offers just about any terrain, climate, and opportunity one could wish for.
    If legislation makes you equal, you aren't.

    Karen has often said that she wouldn't like to leave the North East of England to go and live anywhere else, with the exception of Scotland!

    Personally if I had the money I think I'd like to live somewhere like the South of France. More my kind of climate!

    Having a way of obtaining insulin whilst abroad would be my main concern.
    I guess supply isn't so much the issue as expense?
