Moving to a new place doesn't feel particularly daunting if you’re moving locally. That feeling completely changes if you’re relocating to a new country, however, and it becomes something you never thought that it would. It becomes a whole new thing to deal with in life, and while you can be excited about moving to somewhere completely untouched by you, it doesn't mean that it isn't overwhelming.
When your relocation is more than going down the road, you need to put a lot of thought into why you’re moving and what you will get out of it. There are a lot of discomforts that come with pulling up your roots only to try and lay them down in a brand new place. From moving the children to choosing a location, you have a lot to consider. So, with that in mind, here are the top 5 reasons to move abroad.

1. You Want A Better Life
If you were born in the heart of the UK's steel industry, and your parents moved you abroad, the chances are that you would want to move back to your roots and create a better life for yourself. If you’ve grown up in the same place and never moved outside of a five mile radius, the chances are that you’re clamouring for a better way to live. A better life can be the catalyst you need to jump into a whole new location, so don't be afraid to explore.
2. You’re Moving For Your Job
Sometimes, the choice of whether to stay or go comes from your company. If they’re moving away and you want to keep working for them, the chances are that you’re going to go with them and move your life for your job. You should think carefully about this one, as the chances are you may hate the new area. Yes, you want your job, but does that mean you’re willing to compromise on other things in life? If not, don't do it!
3. You Need To Move For Your Children
If you’re seeking out the best schools for your kids, the chances are that you won’t always find them local to you. If that's the case, moving elsewhere is a must. You need to be in a position to give your kids their best possible shot in life, and the ideal school for them may be a little further out than you anticipated.
4. You Need to Move Somewhere Warmer
Whether that means moving within the same country but to warmer parts, or it means buying a one way plane ticket to another beach life, you may rely on a change of location for your health. It’s always worth a move for your health, so consider where in the world will be a better place for you.
5. You Have Decided To Retire
You want to be by the sea, with new amenities, new things to see and places to go. Not only that, but you want to make sure that you see a few more beautiful sunsets before your retirement is up!
