Re: My desire to move back is growing stronger...

Yes, the infrastructure is a major problem, and has been for a long long time. I've become so used to various public transport solutions, and recently every car sharing/bike sharing/e-scooter...

Re: Advice - Moving back to UK

I can certainly empathise with your situation in general (although not the details)

Covid has certainly shaken up my own ex-pat state, and forcing me forward into action. But oh my,...

Re: My desire to move back is growing stronger...

Hey there!

Thanks for your input also. Yes, it does sound very similar. I'm interested to hear about anything specifically that you say about news from the UK... Honestly, I've come to see that...

Re: Should I move back? My nagging doubt

Oh absolutely I've looked. But I'm thinking now that my expat status is nothing but a disadvantage. And yes I'm already involved in a few casual local events and things through volunteering, but I'm...

Re: Should I move back? My nagging doubt

For sure, you can say mid life crisis! However, that doesn't mean I should ignore it and do nothing. And yes, I do need to wait things out. The problem is this time around I have a fair few solid...

Re: Should I move back? My nagging doubt

Really not! I find the prospect terrifying, to be honest. I'm not hugely excited about the UK at all, I just don't see any better option now. I'm about to cross the border into being actually "old",...

Re: Should I move back? My nagging doubt

Re: Should I move back? My nagging doubt
