Hello!

I was just wondering about your situation when you first expatriated, such as your age, whether you had children or not, and how you came to the decision to expatriate

    I was 39, single, no pets, mortgage, or anything to tie me down. Was living in Oregon and got two job offers in the UK. After a bunch of paperwork, I move to Nottingham in 2006. Been living in Europe ever since (currently the south of France near the Italian border).

    As for the job offers, I have a deep specialty in building and fixing large-scale database-driven software products written in Perl. It’s getting harder to find people with my skills and I’ve authored a couple of books on the topic, so it made it easy to get offers.

      I love that you said no pets instead of no kids! I’m trying to figure out how to take my cats and dog overseas with me and it’s harder than bringing human children I’m sure
