So many people are saying they moved to a new country (or countries). Is there a trick I don't know of that you can just up and move? Or are the majority here rich or specialize in something in particular?
I am assuming that people work when they get to the new country, which means a visa.
I could understand if it was to a country on the same continent but there are a lot of US > UK; UK > US. From what I've read it isn't as easy as saying: "Well, guess I'll go live there now."
I think for Americans many perceive it to be too difficult. I think we put our own biases onto other countries. For example:
It's hard to get a visa here in America, so it must be hard to do it in other countries as well.
It is expensive to vacation any farther than Mexico/Canada so it must be expensive to get a job that far away as well.
