Anyone else move to another country?

(self.AskReddit)

Tell me Reddit have any of you just moved to a foreign country to get away from everything?

I feel I need to get away from the pressures in my life here. I want to learn a new language and move away for a while, maybe France.

Has anyone else done this? If so how did it work out?

If you want to get away from pressure, France is not the country for you.

I moved to Costa Rica for like 4.5 years, fucking loved it, and if I didn't have a job I loved in the US I would probably go back.

I recommend Thailand.

I moved there and taught English for awhile, then bummed around for awhile. The unofficial motto of the country translates to something like "no worries" or "it's fine."

I've met a few people who moved to Cambodia or Thailand for a little while.

It was part cultural though. The main reason why they did that was that their savings took them a long way.

Moving from a first world country to another? Without a visa? That's asking for a low class lifestyle.

I sure would like to travel, but permanently stay in a different country, probably not. My heart lies here in the US.

Yup. Moved from the UK to Holland. There is a transition time where it is hard and stressful and you miss things like Branston Pickle, but I'd never go back again now.

I wouldn't go to France though. Unless you can speak pretty good French. I would suggest getting away to a country where you speak the language.

Tried it. All the chicks had hairy pits. Would not recommend.
