Unhappy Am i the only daft one

Hi all

Went to dentist today :scared: and told him that i was going to Perth to live.
He then asked if i had been before.When i told him that i had never been before he was shocked. He then laught and sayed i was mad.

Has anyone else went to live there without visiting the country first.

He must be jealous. Everyone I have spoken to have all said, wow I wish I could do that !!

You are more likely to settle if you've never been before apparently, so don't let it bother you

[QUOTE=zbettyboop]Hi all

I don't think it is jelousy but lack of wanting to know what is out there and not having the zest to try something new.

I think it is sad when people say this type of thing, and it isn't uncommon, and it will probably hear it again.

I don't care that others are to scared or don't want to try something new and better. As I see it, it's their loss and when they are retired and sitting here in the cold wet weather, they will perhaps sit there in their slippers wondering. IF ONLY.

Go for it and remember we all choose our destiny and you have chosen yours, why worry what other people think, you will probably never see them again. They will be laughing on the other side of their face.


Diversity - different people want different things and why not.

I did go before we started the process to visit my future in-laws but to be honest I would still of went without the trip there in fact if the OH had turned round and said Fiona it's not a holiday werwe going on tomorrow were emigrsating I would of went. It's something I've been dreaming about for years. Oh and just to reasure you it was everything I was expecting and more.

No never been to OZ - but that's part of the adventure.
Having said that we bought a house in florida 2 years ago that we never saw before we sold it, off plan.
