gnasher16 30,535 Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Ive been trying to talk myself into it for a number of years now.....think id love it for 6 months then start to miss the basic things that we all take for granted.....for me it would be abroad so not like you can have a quick drive back to what you know every once in a while..... Had spells away from home before and always eventually started missing my own people and my own places and ways of life........to commit to doing it on a permanent basis is a big decision that personally i,ll probably do one day but put off a while yet......good luck in whatever you decide its a tempter for sure. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know what you mean I have worked away a lot over the years for the job I want to give up spent a lot of time in France and thought about going there but after a couple of months missed my close family wife kids but I will be taking most of them with me !! Hope you have luck with your adventure ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
