As I sit here in Southern Ontario, sweltering under a prolonged heat wave, I can’t help but think about moving to another country. One where the climate is a little more moderate – not so hot and humid in the summer and not so cold in the winter. Any suggestions??

Actually, I have gone through one major move to another country – and return home again. In 1989 I moved to New Zealand with my husband and two kids, fully expecting to live there for the rest of my life. Nine years after we touched down in Wellington, we returned to Canada. During that nine years, almost everyone that we met who had moved to New Zealand from another country had returned home.

Although we thought we knew what we were doing, there were obviously a lot of things we just hadn’t prepared ourselves for – and we weren’t the only ones.

If you are thinking about making a major move to another country and aren’t sure whether you are prepared or not, check out my article 10 Things To Consider Before Moving To A  New Country. It poses a number of questions that you might just want to try to answer before you start packing.

The great thing about being a nomad is that you do have the freedom to move about from country to country. Have you tried moving to a new country? Have you stayed or returned home?
