My advice, for what it's worth, is go for it. Life should be a series of adventures, so look upon this opportunity as another one of life's direction changes. Your kids are young enough not to be affected very much, and you obviously have a strong desire to try a new life, as you have considered this move after having had some bad luck last time.
It sometimes helps to write a list of the pros and cons for where you want to go and compare that against the a list for where your life is just now. After you have run through that process........go with your heart :lol:

Good luck whatever way you choose.

Eric.

Couldn't agree more. And if you don't like it, there's polynesia and micronesia on the doorstep. Not to mention the whole of the east. Then there's the pacific rim........

In my opinion, life's where you want it to be. Why should the treadmill dictate where you go?

Cheers

Choobs

Hi mandy i am moveing to perth next year, the best advice i can give is, rent your property out in the uk, for 12mths with a 6mth break clause, so if unsure you can come back, release some capital from the uk and rent for a year, ps relax and get into sport and slowing down, also just south of perth is one of the best wine regions in the world

You'll never know, if you never go :lol:

You're so lucky to have your visas, you really should use them. You haven't much time left before they expire, and you certainly won't get another chance.

Now is the time while the kids are small, and having a job already is a bonus.

Best wishes,

Koala
