Lots of accomplished Brits emigrate and leave the UK to start a new life elsewhere every year.
I probably don't need to go into the reasons of what drives people out- you only have to scan the pages of these forums. If you had to emigrate- where would you go? It has to be realistic- so that your chosen field of what you do for a living can be done there too, but the question assumes the visa/work permit or points system or whatever is all sorted and there's no problem moving. It's also assuming kids schooling/transfer would go smoothly. Where would you go and why?

Well, I'd say I'd emigrate to the UK
Me too...Not knocking Australia, but have a look in the Oz forum at some current threads before assuming coming here will solve all your problems.

I think if you think that moving halfway around the world will fix all your problems then you are a bit deluded

Maybe so, but it would at least mean I had access to cheap unpasturised cheese, lots of proper ham and decent Baguettes. Don't need much more than that really...
New Zealand - definitely. Queenstown would be great but in order to find work/business I'd probably need to live within commuting distance of Christchurch.
We're too old, now, but it was the first place the Missus has ever said she would move to from the UK.
T'other benefit is that it's only a few hours flight time from Australia - another cracking country to visit (and I have lived there).

Planning on New Zealand in a couple years, Queenstown for me...
Going through the process right now. Application in with the NZ immigration, just awaiting a response. Wellington for me, eventually. Plan to spend some time in the Hawkes Bay area forst, Mrs C's parents have a farm there.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
