    I was ready for a break about 15 years ago, quit my job and did 3 bicycle adventures with a short visits back to UK in between. (around 1 year abroad in total). My reasoning was more about taking the opportunity to have the adventures, whilst I still could. I had a great job even better boss, and good prospects, but it was just time to do it anyway.

    I left the UK in 2002 to live and work in south-east Asia (Thailand, Laos and Myanmar). I very rarely returned to visit the UK, but did so last year to decide whether or not I should return to the UK permanently, since I am approaching retirement age. After 3 months in the UK I decided that there was no way that I would want to live in the UK again. As you mention, cost of living, climate, taxes, crime etc etc etc. My life is more modest and less materialistic here in Asia, but boy am I happier!

    If I could still leave... 1. Massive increase in crime, with entire demographics believing they have a green flag to behave like animals, often with little or no repercussions. 2. Being British, white, male, I am at the lowest category of citizen in my own country, every single job has a tick box culture that demotes points for purely being born as I am. 3.Housing, impossible to get housing in my own country, even as a " priority user " on the ex-forces scheme. 4.Constant state punishment on the law abiding, ever increasing tax, 20 mph speed limits, bin fines, not following the governments latest lunacy fines, fuel fines, less and less money to live on each month etc 5.NHS utterly collapsing due to ever more people increasing the user base, no dentists etc 6. Schools having no places or very overcrowded and quite simply teaching kids politics rather than lessons in life and what they actually need. 7.Culture, customs, laws and just the general politeness and environment of being in a decent country constantly disappearing 8. The feeling that if you are a tax paying, law abiding, decent person...you are being taken for a mug.

    Your second point is typical of little englander syndrome. It's common for small minded individuals to feel belittled by those trying to reach their families and find a better life. And their the first to blame non English people for their countries woes, when in fact, its down to the political system that you probably par take in. And an incompetent establishment, who I dare say you probably voted for also. I dare say you believed brexit would be a success. All you do is whine about migration. Not one mention of the £360.000.000 promised to the NHS. The majority of you are getting the politics you deserve. More often than not the ones whining, voted for the current party in power.

    My partner broke a tooth and could not get an emergency appointment with her NHS dentist - even though she'd been with him for years. She had to go private in the end. I've just come back from the Philippines and had my dental treatment (cleaning only required) done there - brilliant quality of service, equipment, staff etc - cost 2000 pesos (£28) and it was an actual doctor that did the cleaning - not a hygienist! I also was given a pre-rinse that eliminated all pain, try getting that on the NHS - they don't even know it exists!

    My friend goes to Krakow for her dental treatment. While she's there her mother gets botox. They go for 4 days about 3 times a year, book digs with AirBnB. Her mam needed a bridge or some work here and the dentist was charging thousands and that's why they started to go abroad because it was cheaper to travel to get it done and have a couple of days away at the same time! Cannot argue with that!

    If you were a Filipino, what would you say? The Philippines, Thailand, etc. are very good and cheap places for people who are coming from wealthier countries (European countries, USA, Canada, Australia, etc.), and getting their money, salary, pension, etc. from wealthier countries, or from companies that pay 'western' wages. I know so many Filipino people who are living and working in the UK, and sending money back to their families in the Philippines. They left their country because they couldn't make ends meet there. Their families think they're are rich in the UK. So if you migrate from wealthier countries to poorer countries, and you can get your money from a Western company/country and let's say work remote from anywhere then of course your money will be worth a lot more in the cheaper country, and you can have a nicer life. But would you move to places like the Philippines if you would need to work the jobs that are available there (no remote jobs whatsoever) for the same money as the Filipino people? Could you afford a better lifestyle for yourself there? Also as many people who move to places like the Philippines already have some savings, but imagine that most Filipinos don't have savings so they can't start a business there like a small restaurant, etc. If someone with savings moves there of course you could do many things with your money there. Also, there are not that wealthy/rich but definitely wealthier people than the average Brits coming from China, from the Middle-East, from the US and they say the same about the UK. It's cheaper for them. So they literally do what you do in those cheaper countries. If you go to places like the Philippines as a tourist is good as you'll bring money to the country, but if you move there and stay there for many years as you are wealthier than 95% of the locals then as you can afford more you'll be able to pay more for a flat, house, food, services, literally for everything, but the locals won't be able to afford to pay the same as you pay and their will be even poorer. Would a local Filipino say that 2000 pesos for a dental treatment is affordable for them? (It was a private dental clinic there, isn't it? As far as I know there are no social security systems that exist there like the NHS, state pension, benefits, etc. from the government). It might be affordable for some Filipinos but for the majority...? So where do they go then...? Probably to a cheaper country as then the dental services will be more affordable there. 😂 So that's why you can have a better life in countries like the Philippines just like many Chinese, Americans, Middle -Easterners. As an average Brit living in the UK, you're in the same position like most local Filipino people in the Philippines. They try to escape their country, you try to escape your country.

    Having reached the ripe old age of 54 my wife and I left the UK for many of the reasons you mention. Now 74 and can honestly say it was a very good decision. I’m not convinced the UK has ever been a great place for ordinary working people. Our parents generation worked hard and followed the rules only to die far too soon. It’s a pretty awful country for much of the population with politicians and wealthy folk not giving a damn about anyone but themselves. This attitude is endemic now. I appreciate that lots of countries are the same now but…if you can find your own piece of paradise, it can still be a beautiful life. We found ours in a small Spanish pueblo/village where life, values and relationships are worth more than a lottery win. If you’re minded to escape the UK just take the leap.

    I left 10 years ago. I wanted to live somewhere with a little land, to grow food, etc. A house with land in the UK would cost a huge amount, as all the land seems to be built on. Somewhere where I didn't need to claim benefits simply to pay the council tax. Somewhere where I could find a house I could afford to heat. So I looked around and ended up in the north of Italy where I have a lovely house with acres of land and amazing views over a lake and mountains. And I can afford to live here without endless worry.

    Good luck on your travels. I left the UK 35 years ago and haven't regretted the decision. My kids are completely bilingual and, as I'm not that far away, I come back for visits on a reasonably regular basis. It has been interesting to watch the UK slowly change from a distance and the UK is a very different country today than the country I left in 1989. Bit by bit, year by year, it no longer feels like home. Nowhere is perfect of course and every country has its issues to deal with. But when you deliberately decide to go somewhere else you live the bumps in the road as more of an adventure than a real hassle. So, once again, good luck on your big adventure and let us all know how you are getting on.

It’s hot and dusty, and as a woman, I would have no choice about what I wear, I’m made to feel like a sl*t if I put a pair of shorts on - while men can wear them and attract no attention or disapproving looks whatsoever. The authorities are extremely dodgy. The only similar experience I had was in Morocco (I wonder what the parallels are there 🤔), and half of the country lives in urban slums. Have you seen the state of Cairo? People throw litter everywhere and have no concept of taking care of their environment. The UK is pristine by comparison.

Having spent 7 years living and working in Cairo, I would have to say the local people I met were for the most part friendly and helpful. Please do not use those who badger tourists at the landmarks as any kind of benchmark as they are not not the norm. The rubbish on the streets and the dust are appalling but has a lot to do with longstanding habits which will change over time. Surprisingly Cairo has quite a good record for recycling as the people who live in a place known as garbage city go round collecting any recyclable material which they sell in order to survive. Massive inequality has a lot to do with Egypts problems which alerts me to the danger of inequality sending the UK down the same path.

I am in Northern Ireland which is where my roots have come from and its gone to shit. I have been denied access to a GP since 2019 and even when I did get referred to an eye doctor in 2021 as I had to see an optician in an emergency. They didn't give a shit about the matter as it wasn't their problem. Racism is rife in East Belfast and I am getting the hell out of this country. I am done with it all and I am starting over in the US. I am very thankful to have grew up in the UK before the days of Blair and co. I appreciate that I am educated with proper education and I have skills to help mankind. Not something that is around nowadays as its all indoctrination etc. Times are very different now. But whilst I cannot change these things, I can relocate and live the rest of my life in Florida, Texas or Arizona in peace and if that fails. I will just bugger off to Mexico and live there.

    Born in Australia, I moved to live in London with my partner in 1960 and lived there until we moved back to Queensland in 1998. During that period UK life kept getting better and better. I used to enjoy occasional return visits, since then, but no longer feel nostalgia for the "old days" and am truly grateful to be back here in Oz. We lived in a lovely Edwardian house in Ealing which we bought for 16,000 pounds back in the day and sold for a half a million in the late 1990s. I googled it recently and it was selling for close to three million pounds. Beside the high cost of everything else, the obscene property prices have worked to impoverish the living standards of the ordinary British person.

    I'm a couple of years younger than you, brother, and I feel the same way about everything you talked about - one more thing I would add is the ever increasing taxes, which is not good in the slightest especially if you are someone who wants to run their own business. Working your a**e off to line the pockets of those politicians and paying for public services which no longer function. The ever increasing restrictions on our freedoms, speech, increased surveillance state, nanny state, the relentless attack on drivers, and the sh*tty roads which never get repaired and are over capacity. Let's be honest, Britain peaked in the late 90's around the millennium, and it's been downhill ever since with no signs of getting better. Anyway, I'm moving to Cyprus for a better life. People our age have pretty much been screwed over constantly since leaving school - we've been robbed of our best years.

There are no winners only losers. The establishment relies on ordinary people blaming one another for the state of their miserable lives. No one can see a better future for themselves and their kids and fall back on the age old practice of blaming other equally poor sods. Don’t allow them to brainwash you. The blame rests with a rigged system that works only in the interests of one class.

    ⁠@@user-yz8pw9dv2nplease don’t believe everything you read and hear about the First Nation people s of Australia ( not Māori as they usurped a previous people and have only been in NZ for around 800 years). Sadly the aborigines have problems with violence toward women and children. This is deeply cultural and the misogyny in their societies was remarked upon and documented by the early settlers . Unfortunately this still persists today especially in remote communities. Many of the children that made up the “stolen generation “ were taken away for the best possible reasons whether or not it was the best way to go about protecting children. I have my own experience of this from the 1970’s when I was a child and a friend of my mother’s was asked to take in a seven year old aboriginal girl whose mother was concerned that the men of the town had begun to “notice” her. Several months later her five year old sister joined her down in the suburbs where their mum knew they’d be safe. Today we are not allowed to even mention this as it goes against the general narrative and that is the injustice done.

    Hi Matt, as you know, we are two Brits who did take the plunge and moved away from the UK. The weather is much better in Arizona, most of the time. Hate the dreary winters in the UK, but they are better than the continuous below-freezing temperatures experienced in most of the northern United States. We didn't move because we were unhappy with living in the UK but because we both met American men and moved overseas to be with them. Politics sucks over here too. Prices in the grocery stores are higher on average than in the UK although other things like petrol prices and the cost of housing are cheaper. A lot of people over here cannot afford health insurance. If you have health insurance the co-pays are very significant. You do get seen by a doctor and dentist much quicker than in the UK. It's swings and roundabouts really. I don't blame you for deciding to seek adventure. It's very brave of you but also great that you have made the decision to follow your dream. We wish you the very best of luck. Safe travels ❤

    Well done buddy, good decision. I'm an old guy, left UK in 77, went to Australia, had an amazing life there and still travelled a lot, and between 77 in Aus and today, also lived longish term in 2 other countries and spent 9 years travelling and living around Europe ending up here in Portugal (for 6 years now). Do not have a single regret! My main memories of UK are of grey, cold, wet, windy, depressing climate....hence Aus :) Was however, much easier 70s to 2010-15, basically THE best time in human history for an ordinary man to live in my view. You however, face a much more difficult time than I did but you sound like the kind of guy that has a pair & a brain plus a good character and set of values, all things that will culminate in allowing you to do what you want and live a 'good' life (whatever that means for you). I wish you well :) If I was to throw a little piece of advice your way, it would be, to keep understanding what is 'important' for our species, what the soul tells you is truly important and fullfilling for the human animal. Learn that, and you need no more, because everything comes from knowing how that works....for you :) My very best wishes :)

I love England and I loved living there but it has changed a great deal, has been changed. I do not agree with your political comments. The western mentality has been changed and it is destroying itself. The English are not racist, this is a myth, England has been too welcoming and too open to survive as itself. There are grifting elites and grifting activists everywhere, minorities, minority opinions and false realities are infiltrating every aspect of life. 80% of the world is looking at the West in disbelief at what we are doing to ourselves, losing, what we were, what we had, what we are becoming and what we gave to the world and the world took up eagerly. There is a loss of belief in what we are and this causes confusion and despair. All things must pass, and the West now is. It is sad. Ordinary, hard working people are being abused, indeed exploited and forcibly changed. This does not bode well. Good luck!

    Just when you think things are that bad here, travel to somewhere where things are bad. I’ve been to South America several times Colombia and Ecuador. I was in Ecuador recently and the area I was in, it was too dangerous to go out. It was like I was in prison. That was Guayaquil. I did travel to Cuenca which was relatively safe, I was walking about late at night there. Poverty is a different level there and and I realise how good I’ve got it in London.

    I think it is a great idea to travel and experience life in other places. I left the UK in 1979 after various factors were making life a bit miserable here. We took a long trip and ended up in Australia, stayed there four years and had a blast, but I never wanted to stay there. I fell back in love with the UK the day of arrival and with all the things that make it miserable it is also much more interesting living here for me. The architecture, the greenness (cos of the rain) the seasons, the buzz. My kids are Australian but they would rather be here, one is engaged to a Canadian and has done time there but would rather be here. Good luck on your quest for your Utopia. Travel is brilliant.

A decent pint, A pork Pie, A yorkie bar, Proper English breakfast (all the little things). Many of the problems you highlight are all very valid, but are also faced by many countries overseas. Its not just the UK changing, but the world, due to the greedy bankers and corporations, and corrupt politicians (Its not just a UK thing). At least you will find decent weather, and even that they will tell you is changing. One thing they can not take away from you, is the memories of adventure and your friendships / Relationships, formed on your journey. Good luck and Bon Voyage. Go out and Get it.

I want to leave and take my family with me, and I'm lucky that with career (digital manufacturing engineering), not only I could easily do so, but probably have my expenses covered (have received several international offers).
