35 year old here in the UK and I’ve finally had enough of the weather so spend much of my time doing the same. We moved from the north to the midlands a few years a go and that helped a bit but it’s no longer cutting it sadly.
I can work anywhere but my spouse can’t - so at this point we are just working out how to make it work on potentially just one income. The joke has become “how poor are we willing to be to get away from the rain” at this point.
Oh and visa’s aren’t easy either. If only there was some simple way we could move to a European country under some kind of free movement of people act - what a world that would be.
- Moissanite 4y agoI've lived all over the UK and concluded that while the exact conditions vary a bit, it is just background noise against the generally foul climate. Malta is about the best option I've been able to come up with - no language issues and still in the EMEA region for work purposes. Switzerland would probably be a better fit for me in terms of both climate and society, but they like foreigners even less than we do and the language situation is intimidating.
- simonbarker87 4y agoI agree, it’s just variations on a fairly miserable theme in the UK. We love the Algarve in Portugal so that’s our primary focus - Portuguese is challenging to learn due to pronunciation but we are getting there.
