Have you ever thought of moving and making a living in another country?

Hello. Yeah, I want to do that in the US. But not in New York or L.A., definitely in peaceful provinces where the crime rate is low and where there are many trees. That would be the ideal place for me to settle in. I love a simple life, you know, not having to worry about bills and paychecks and other stuffd like that.

Hey ma'am, I don't want to live in another country leaving my motherland Bangladesh. Because I love my country very much and wish to serve her to the best. I believe those who love their motherland will never find peace in another country. Have a nice day.

Hi zandi, I have never ever thought of moving and living in another country. I'm quite satisfied with my lifestyle here. What's more I always feel happy to have all my loved ones, relative and friends here. To me the most essential thing in my life is to get along with my loved ones and it doesn't matter where we are. In case most of them prefer to start new living in other country I will follow them for sure. At the moment no one has such idea yet. I try to work hard to save enough expenses for oversea trip in different countries annually to explore the lifestyles and others of people in different regions of the world to widen my insight. I love my native land as well as the people I love here and I believe non of a place is better than my homeland Happy posting

I’ve had similar thoughts myself zandi many times! I come from an immigrant family who came to Australia from Italy over thirty eight years ago when I was a kid and life has been good here compared to the old country but there have been times, as an adult when life got difficult and the temptation has come up to move away back to my birth country until a kind soul would remind me that running away from your problems is not the answer and realistically moving back to Italy would not be the ideal for me or my family. Having said that, it does not mean that it is not the right solution for some, after all my parents made the right decision! I think it is a matter to make the decision over a long period and not impulsively and research every single aspect of the move positive and negative. Of course it pays to recall the timely advice I was given many times, “Wherever you go your problems come with you…” So if the move is to improve life it’s worth considering but if it is an escape, think carefully!

Hi zandi, I never dream to move to other country. I think my (our) country is the best from the rest. It is peace and harmony country even though we have a lot of races especially in Sabah and Sarawak. One or two cases that bring tension among the races is normal and it is much lower compare to the country which has just a few different races. The criminal record also low here. If I had a choice I would prefer to be the kampung folk where everybody know and care for each other (even sometime they care too much - gossiping). They live their life in a very simple and harmony ways. When we want to move to other country, one question would be "why". What is the reason for that action? Looking for a greener pastures? Do you believe you can survive there? You need to learn everything from scratch. Learn their language, culture and way of life. How if you can not get what you want there? Another move? I think all this thing happen because we never appreciate with what we have now. Unless there is any major incident like war or natural disaster, I do not think I will go to chose other country a head of Malaysia. Malaysia boleh. Aramaitti tah ....

some 20 or so years ago, i was thinking of that. but now, i am in my fifties, the thought never crosses my mind. i am happy with what i have now. i have reconciled many of the challenges that confronted me before. all i need now is peace and the bare necessities of life. i've even stopped driving my car and let it sit in the garage for months now. zandi, at this point in my life, moving in another country is already not one the things i think about...

It is hard doing it alone. My mother changed countries when she married and she found it hard having no support network, especially when her husband's family saw her as an outsider. She was English and my father was Australian but his family could never understand why he couldn't marry a local girl. Now that is a change where they all speak the same language and where Australia was once a colony of England so it would seem to be an easier move than a country where the language was different but there will always be huge cultural gaps and it can be very lonely on your own. I found it hard enough just moving to the northern most state as I no longer see my family any more. I cannot afford to travel south and they have never visited me. Still I love the place I live now. I am over 50 and would never change countries. I changed from the city to the country and have found just the right place for the future.

I have only visited other countries. I still think of traveling. But moving from one state to another within the country is hard enough for me. I would not move out of my country unless my children and grandchildren were going too. They are my everything.

Hi zandi I love your discussions you always put forward something worth answering to! I tell you one thing pastures are always greener in the other side, but... when you are in the other side your pastures look greener too! I came to live in this country in 1973 and I can say nothing was easy as they promised us! I had my own heirdressing salon in my country but here I had to go and work in a factory! [ my english] was not good enougth then. To cut a long story short if I knew then what I know today I would not ever have left my country, I Am not richer or poorer and my children grew up without their aunts, grandmums,and cousins, yes fair enougth we are happy here, but still I ask myself today was it fair on my children? I do not live with regret because is pointless I take life as it comes, but given a choice? I would have never left my country.

Hi there zandi :) I have thought of leaving my own country and migrate. Not because I wanted to, but because it is hard to live here in our country. Poverty is really seen and it's easier to get a high paying job outside. True that it is hard to leave your own country but my family would be my first priority. Happy mylotting

I have thought about it a lot actually. Specially now that our country has this political tension and problems. Now I'm not really giving up, I'm just merely trying to give my future kids a better future. I guess I'm over being naive and thinking that our country still has a chance. I actually said to myself that this election can make or break it, I think the results of this presidential elections can have a big effect on what would be my final decision on living here or leaving this all behind and starting new in another country.

Hi Zandi, yes we are in the process of working it out to go to anohter country. right now we are just waiting for our documents to be approved and then we can go to the US for work and finally live there with the family. i am praying that we can live this year.

lol i honor your feelings, you can certainly visit the country, stay there for some time, if you feel comfortable, you may continue, but i am sure you will come back, we are attached to our land will wish to die and cremated there, i am planning to visit Malasia and Philippines too with my wife, but will NOT settle there.. Thank you so much for this nice discussion,I am late in respondig, cheers God bless you. Prof

no no no... i wont leave my country, but i lik to visit all country with my parents.. there s nothing special than mom's care, lik that there s no other country than my wonderful INDIA.. i luv my country.. but i saw some peoples moving away from my country, that time i ll feel more sad,. money s only a common and most important thing to move from owm country...

Yes, I have many times thought about it. Paris, London or any nice State in the US might be good for me. Great new experiences. I just realized that life is indeed super short, and if we don't have a chance to experience this all, might not be a pretty good life, eh. But then again, I'm always torn when it comes to love ones..they are not always there. So it's a dilemma, really. But if they all agree to migrate, that will be more cooler..

I guess a lot depends on the reasons a person is making the move. I live in a country where people COME to more than emigrate from. I consider myself fortunate to live here and I never really considered moving. I would like to live somewhere warmer. In terms of culture, I think Australia might suit me, but I don't really have any need or desire to tear up my life here and move. My country is so large, just moving from one province to another, within the same nation, took us over 1000 miles from where I grew up. If I want a change of scenery, I could go about 3 or 4 thousand miles in the other direction and still be "home"!!!

Hi Zandi, i only have a few days experience of living in another country, when i go traveling during a few years ago. It was a holiday experience with my family members. Although it was a short experience, i do feel happy about it. I do feel it would be wonderful when we are able to travel and live in another country, to experience life in that particular area. But, when thinking of migrating to another country and stay there forever, i think i will choose not to accept it. Because i am sure to miss all my relatives and friends in my own country.

Nearly 10 years ago, for such personal reasons as you state, I packed my bags and moved from my rent-controlled, midtown Manhattan NYC apartment, left my good paying job, healthy social life and blossoming career and headed South.....all the way to Buenos Aires, Argentina. There were a lot of personal factors in my decision to move here that I'd prefer to not discuss but I will say it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. Ever. Sure, there were a lot of adjustments....learning another language, customs, how to get around, cultural differences, learning about the foods, etc. To me it's been an exciting adventure that reinvigorated my life. This is my home now. I love it here. I've learned the language. I obtained permanent residency. I can travel to any country in the Mercosur without a visa. I've been able to visit the surrounding countries. There are a lot of pluses to living here versus in NYC. Sure...there are some negatives as well, such as the exchange of the Argentine peso to the dollar. The current exchange is $1usd to 3.87 pesos. A plane ticket to the States is about $1400 right now. Multiply that by about 4 and that's how many pesos I need to go there to visit family and friends. lol. Needless to say, my trips to the States are few and far between. However, it's very advantageous for my friends and family to come here! I've got people visiting every year just because of that exchange. At any rate. It's worked out for me. Was I scared? Sure. That's just human nature but my mother always used to say to me, "Feel the fear and do it anyway."

Yes, it has crossed my mind to go to another country and start all over again. Truth is, Imoved from Oklahoma to Montana just for that reason but Oklahoma and Montana are both states in the US. but it worked to some small estent and like you I got rid of some excess baggage for a few years. Just a work of warning tho. You always come home. I did.

for me it's not a question if I will go or not, it's just matter of time until I finish collage. Anyway, it's great to see you thinking as I do :)
