Where to start
Hello everyone new to this, I'm a married UK citizen and have this dream of living abroad like a lot of people on here. I'm employed as a plumber and my wife works in a office. We have no children but want to see if I can live out my dream. We are right at the very start of this so just looking for some help and pointers of what to do.
Thanks
Thanks

Hello, welcome to BE 
I guess a good place to start is narrowing down your options a bit by working out exactly what you want and don't want from a potential move as well as what is feasible with your skills, finances, etc. Are you wanting a warmer climate? Do you speak any foreign languages? Do you have any relatives living overseas? Is there a dream destination in mind?
Hope you've found your way round the forum ok - yell out if you need anything. If you have a specific destination in mind, jump in and pick the brains of posters on that area forum

Hi there and welcome to the forum 
Suggest you head over to the Canada section of the forum and ask some questions in there and see what is possible.
