Hi everyone,
I've found myself at a cross roads in life once again.
My job isn't really going anywhere, my girlfriend suddenly split up with me last Friday, which hit me hard after 18 months (there was a 7 year age gap, that was probably part of it) and I'm thinking it's time I got my independence (I still live with my parents) and lived my life a little.
I've saved up some money which was originally ear marked for my first house/flat in the UK. But since I'm only 29 I feel like there is much more in the world to offer and I have always wanted to see Australia; more than America, Europe, Africa, Asia or India.
My initial plan is to spend 1 month there and start looking for work 1 week in and to come back to the UK if I don't find a job within that month.
I've applied to some jobs and I'm waiting for my Work Visa stuff to get sorted but if I do have to come back to the UK, I will hopefully have a better idea of what I want to really do as I've been in technical support roles for the last 8+ years.
A step like this does take some planning though.
Has anyone done anything similar to this?
What advice would anyone give?
All help greatly appreciated.
