Here, there, everywhere ....
Hi everyone,
New here. Like many stories Ive read today, am also in a quandry of the "unknown" ahead.
Am 59 living in Belgium - reasonable job, single, paying off my house. Born in the UK, 22 years in Aus and 20 yrs in Europe.
Not fulfilled here and always wanting to go back to the UK - but, would I get work at 59? Am qualified PA, degree in Romance Languages? So scared to move back without a job but have no idea how to even get work....
Thanks for any advice anyone can give me.
PS also taught French and EFL

Hi Polly, welcome. 
Why not have a browse around in the Moving Back to the UK forum, there's more people than you'd think in your same shoes. There's even a thread running for people in their 50s & 60s discussing their special needs.
Happy Reading!

Hi Polly...welcome to BE.
Many expats seem to long to go home as they get older...you're not alone. Meauxna has given you the link to our MBTTUK forums...so why don't you pop over there and join in.
If you have any problems finding your way around please give a mod or admin a shout.
