I know I have spoken of it many times. But recent events, including the passing of my grandad last week, have pushed me to make this year my own.
So I’ve made my mind up and lucky London is the city that will soon house me. I’m going to buy a one way ticket and relocate and work.
July it is. I’d love to be leaving next week but unfortunately it isn’t quite that simple. I need to give my boss notice of course and I’d like to have at least $10k in my back pocket to ensure I don’t run into trouble as soon as I arrive. It also means I will miss the end of the Olympics which will mean I will actually be able to afford to live and eat on arrival.
I’ve had a lovely offer from a friend and her husband already for a room at their flat as I get myself sorted and my feet on the ground. Which I am very grateful for, and very keen to take!
So now I’m asking you all for tips, suggestions and your experiences on what you think helped you the most when moving. I already have a UK passport, so visas are not required. I will also be padding up my CV to apply for a few jobs just before leaving, but I’ve also heard you’re just as likely to get one walking off the street.
So watch this spot. It could be the move of a lifetime or a grand disaster. We’ll find out in six months.
