If you are considering moving abroad but need to outweigh the positives and negatives in doing so, we at Robinsons, the international removals company, have come up with some tip tips and advice on the world of moving abroad and whether it would work for you.
Advantages
The excitement
Moving abroad can be an exciting time especially if life at your current location has become monotonous and rather dull.
Meet new friends
You will meet a variety of different people from all cultures and walks of life which can open your eyes to so much more.
Opportunity to kick start a new life with a new job or learning something new
If you are bored in your current job and want to try something new then you might find that a fresh start in another country is the best way forward.
If you have children, you will expose them to new experiences and cultures
Broadening your children’s mind is always a positive thing and this can happen when moving abroad. Taking them to international schools can be a very enriching experience and will give them a clearer understanding of other cultures.
Disadvantages
Moving abroad can be unsettling
Moving away from the familiar can be challenge especially if the culture and environment you are moving to is nothing like the one you are living now. Making new friends can also be a challenge if you don’t know anyone or don’t know where to start.
A good idea would be go get involved in the local community, throw a little get together for the parents and children at your child’s school or invite your work friends out for a drink. Getting to know people and having people to talk to will make the whole process a lot easier.
Away from friends and family
Nowadays it is a lot easier to keep in touch with friends and family through email, social networking sites and video calls such as Skype. Even if you visit now and again it isn’t the same as just popping by and you may find that you can’t relate to them as you are leading a separate life.
Strain on your relationship
Moving to a new culture or environment can be very unsettling and can sometimes causing friction in a relationship if you don’t stay together. If one of you is busy and the other isn’t doing much or doesn’t have a job, then the distance and lifestyle differences can be a challenge for the other one to handle. Make sure you discuss all the consequences before you go and what you need to do to support each other.
You may lose your feeling of a sense of home
Living abroad may all be a complete success however it may be the case that you lose your sense of home. If you go back home to visit friends and family you may find that you miss home too much and want to go back.
Our identity is based upon where we come from and this is harder to hold onto if you no longer live in the area or for that matter, country.
Planning a permanent move abroad can be a challenge and does need a lot of careful time and preparation to assure that the whole process goes well. Make sure that you weigh up the positives and negatives to see whether moving abroad will work for you and your family long term.
