Though one of the favoured reasons for making a permanent or semi-permanent move abroad is to retire, things are changing. As more and more under 35s head to new climes, however, it is perhaps timely to stress the importance of good planning and having a purpose with which to work.
Many under 35s will have a job opportunity lined up as they head abroad, whilst others will have this as a definite goal to work towards.
Planning ahead of time, though a little boring, is essential to making the best of things. Looking for decent job opportunities, planning a route back home and taking out appropriate expat health insurance are things that should be addressed.
Having a job to move to makes transition a good deal easier. Colleagues will already know the good, and bad, places for a night or day out for example. Further, having a social group simply to share life with is as important away from home as it is at home, perhaps even more so.
Though a permanent move abroad may sound exciting, having a planned time to see if it really is as good as it promises cannot be underestimated. Though moving abroad forever can still be accomplished, having a taster for a few months helps put everything into perspective.
As for such things as organising insurance, with international healthcare being so diverse, planning ahead in this regard is essential. At Expatriate Healthcare, we really understand this and help make moves abroad so much better for a great many people.
