Does anyone have any tips on how to emigrate? Anthing I need to look out for/research before I go?

I'm considering Spain or South of France. My reasons for going are to get out of the rat race and the awful British weather. I don't want to go and get mortgage/career. I want to be free. Rent a place and get part-time jobs. No ties.

Has anyone any experiences to share? Like why did you go? Do you regret it? DO you miss friends/family? How did you cope financially? etc etc.

Any help/advice would be appreciated, thanks 🙂

ive not done it but would love to!
if u end up regretting it, at least you wouldnt have any ties and can come bk weneva. ur friends and family will also be just a short flight away!
my cousin moved to spain to teach english after she did a languages degree, but u dont need that to do the job. she went a few yrs ago and still loves it.
you could always try a trial move. thats wot im thinking of doin before i actually move. like say go over for just 6-12 months, then if u still want to be there then u can, if not u can just go home. at least u wont be completely disappointed if it doesnt work out how u wanted it to.

Hi Daffodil

I posted something similar a while ago and got really positive feedback from HP people who have done the same!

What I am finding is that close friends are really negative about it and you kind of have to bear in mind that people will always try to put you off!!

Hi, Don't suppose you have a link to your Post please?
I notice friends and family are not very positive to my idea, suppose they will either miss me, or are jealous maybe.
Have you decided to go? Or have you already gone?

Thanks for answers so far both 🙂

Go for a trial run first. Don't make your mind up until you have tested the country you would like to live in. Luckily you are young which means you can work and leads to making friends easily. But do go into every aspect of the particular country you would like to live in,most times their laws are different to ours.
But I say 'Good luck' to you and go for it.
