  • Leaving the UK changed my life and many others. If you're debating it or sitting on the fence, my advice is take the risk.
    There will never be a 'perfect time' so just go with your gut and jump when it feels right.

    The biggest thing stopping people is how they are going to earn an income. One of my friends travelled the world for a year or so, but made minimal money from his social media, spent all his savings and came back to the UK in a worse position than he left.
    The local wage in Thailand is poor, and Cyprus economy isn't great either. People have to figure out how to make a consistent online income which supports a lifestyle living in these developing countries.

      Yeah that’s the catch, but if you can work part time or something and then have a side thing going like reselling stuff or learning a skill like coaching etc, even start a business in the new country teaching skills or selling stuff

    The quality of life must be so much better in Thailand. I've been thinking about it myself man. Sure, I may be in my comfort zone in the UK , but what's the point in living paycheck to paycheck and paying £1000/month for a one bedroom studio apartment? Especially when the weather is miserable 300 days a year.

    There are hundreds of videos now encouraging people to leave the UK for a so called "better life" abroad. If you are going to become an immigrant in a foreign country, you should ensure that you have a good income stream, somewhere stable and affordable to live and proper medical insurance. Remember also, that the generous welfare system that we have in the UK does not exist in many other countries.

    Here we have a guy talking about how good is to leave the Uk ( many want to do it) but don’t offer an inside of what to do to be able to leave, he just shows us how good is to leave like if everyone is the position to do it .
    That is why if you want to make a video think of other people too and don’t be guided by your ego.

    I think what your audience wants to know is - how do you earn a living abroad? How have you found accommodation? Are you making ends meet? Did you need any visas? I have moved to France so I have taken big risks myself and it is still work in progress. Good luck. Best wishes, M

    Friend of mine named Louis made the mistake of going to Australia , Do not for the love of God go there as yes you will get sun and meet friendly people but theres no work if your British your not allowed to work , this is the thing that i dont like the racism against British born people , why is it all these People from India Pakistan Iraq Afghanistan Syria Africa and EU countries can waltz into the UK totally unskilled and be put in council homes or hotel rooms trained up to do a job while Brits are not allowed to go to countries in the EU to work or Australia USA New Zealand etc ? How is that right or fair ? This is why i sleep all day now as theres no point in even bothering anymore , best thing i have to look forward to is that 6ft box they gonna put me in if I'm even lucky enough to get a funeral when i pass on LOL and what im saying is truth bruv as my teeth for example are fucked up , i need 10 teeth removed as ive had to wait like 5 years to find an NHS dentist and so can only eat soft food , my life is hell mate this is why i look forward to sleep as the UK is dead.
