I am wondering some thoughts on this. (US)
We’ve lived in this house for 6 years. It’s a great place, but we always figured we’d probably move again at some point. Now, we have a decent amount of stuff (mostly due to my 1000’s of hobbies, we like to do a lot of shit because life should be fun) so I really hate moving.
My thought is-hey, if we end up moving, lets just move really far away. Most of our families will be gone in a few years and there’s not really a reason to stay here. I could probably give up a lot of my large items if it meant moving to a really interesting new country (thinking one of the Nordic countries, my grandparents were from there). Still, it would probably be 6 years before we would actually move.
Just wondering how crazy this really is. I think my SO feels like it’s a joke when I bring it up.
Moving to a new country is a big change in so many ways. You probably shouldn’t do it for the lulz. Do you have a good reason to move to a specific place? Is there a unique career opportunity, a unique natural resource or community for one of your hobbies, a very important friend or family member living there? Those could be good reasons.
If you have your reasons, bite the bullet, rent a container, and take your stuff with you. Even better if your new employer covers relocation expenses.
As someone who has moved around a lot largely because I wanted to experience living in different places, I cannot disagree with you more. It can be very rewarding and bring a lot of personal growth. Maybe you’ll just end up going back where you started, or maybe you’ll find a place that feels like home to you.
Thats part of the reason. The area we live is just blegh and stagnating. It just keeps getting worse over time.
Anustart would be great.
