What are the things that make you want to pack your bags and start a new life abroad?
In a recent survey of over a thousand World First customers, three quarters of those polled said a better quality of life attracted them to a move overseas.
Fed up of Britain’s changeable weather and unpredictable summers, 60% are enticed by better weather. 53% are attracted to the culture, and a more relaxed way of life appeals to 47%. It seems that many of us are stressed out by life in the UK, and the idea of somewhere to redress the work/life/commute balance is pretty alluring.
27% think it would be cheaper to live abroad, while 38% say it’s the healthier living that appeals. 38% also point to the food as being a big pull. It’s not exactly difficult to see why; cool, refreshing gazpacho and a paella loaded with fresh seafood, rice, spices. Or a Cacciucco (Tuscan seafood stew) accompanied by a Bolgheri Bianco… lovely stuff.
If you’re moving away for a new life abroad, or thinking about doing so, there’s a lot to think about. We’ve thought of the most important things you need to consider:
