Default which of the 6 *D* Make u want to migrate ?

The six *D*

Divorce
Debt
Dole
Dependants ( inc. children)
Diversity
Discrimination

Also known as the 6 "Distressors" that motivate change ---

For me it was Debt , Dependants and Discrimination. Without these factors negatively affecting my life - I would never have got the finger out and made migration possible.

How about u ?

Diversity (if that means: change of scenery and adventure)

nice one Odaat. You're proving to be useful (!)

The closest ''pull'' factor for me, (from your list), was "Diversification". I loved all Aussie had to offer.

By comparison, the push was (not on your list) the fact that the UK couldn't match it in a few key areas. There would always have been an itch. Factors I had no issue with - I did not hate or detest the UK - then became push factors.. as the pull was so great. ie. I was perfectly happy in the UK until I arrived in Australia - then I realised; for me, it couldn't compete, and the UK, did, end up pushing me away...
