Yes. Grew up in the Czech Republic, lived 14 years in Germany, few years in Canada, a year in Turkey, another in Tajikistan, now for 12 years in Malaysia. Apart from Turkey, loved every place, each for different reasons.

I'm from Belgium, i lived there 15 years and then i moved in Luxemburg. After that i worked 4 years in Brussels and then moved in Switzerland. I worked 2 years in this incredible country. And then i moved back in Luxemburg for another hob. I'm glad i left my homeland. It opens and wide your mind in an incredible way. I will never refuse an opportunity to live in another country if i can level up my income or my wisdom.

Yeah I'm French and lived two years in England, two years in Spain and about 25 in Ireland. I fit better here. And I like moving in general. I would move to Ukraine to help with the war effort in a heartbeat except I've zero money to do it. I managed to visit in August. I would have liked to stay.

I’m from Brazil and I always wanted to leave. From a very young age I knew my future was in another country. I grew up in a lovely place and have a great family but i was never satisfied with Brazil. As soon as I finished college I went to Ireland on my own. Stayed there for 11 years and 8 years ago I moved to Gibraltar. I’m very happy

I live in England, it has its faults like any other country and I wouldn't knock anyone that wanted to live somewhere else but for me home is where the heart is. However, Ukraine is beautiful!!!🤔🇺🇦🇬

Left Canada to come work with the International Legion. So here I am now in Ukraine doing my part to help move forward to victory. Разом на перемога!

I traveled to Ukraine quite often (once or twice a year the past 15 years). My wife is Ukrainian. So the question was here in Germany where I have a more or less guaranteed job and high level of living or Ukraine. As I knew that Russia would invade seriously one day, Ukraine was no option for me. But we agreed on living there later when we are pensioneers. Then the war should be over and the money from pension should guarantee a very good life in Ukraine.

Born in Germany, moved to Switzerland as a kid, still lived for months at a time with either my French or German grandparents in France or Germany, then a decade ago at 19 years old moved to Canada for studies, now moving back to Germany. But have no issues continuing moving to other countries; wherever future life leads me. Especially where I already know the language or could realistically learn it to an adequate level to live a normal life. In other words; maybe for a year or two I could see myself moving to like China or Japan for a job, but I feel I'd at always be like a "more permanent tourist". Meanwhile I can see myself easily calling home anywhere in Europe or the Americas. I already knowing three languages fluently, I can see myself get behind learning Spanish or even Polish or something.

@NickJoyhill

Yes I thought about it. I’m from the Netherlands and I wanted to move to either Denmark, Sweden, Finland or Japan but the reason I stayed is well… I have no money to do so 🤷‍♂

Moved to pursue my career. My home country is a dead end. I lived in many other countries (4) before settling down here.

@Dqtube

From my point of view it is an open option and it is highly possible that I will move, because people here are a bit stupid and vote for greedy arrogant politicians who don't care about the country/city . So I can't identify with 75-80% of the population and I know it's impossible to change their perspective. But I have elderly family members who need help, so I'm still here, but I don't plan to spend the rest of my life here.

Have wanted to move to Europe since around 2012. Almost got there, too. Until C0v1d happened. Had all my documents ready and had a place to stay.
