I&#x27;ve lead a similar life to the OP so can probably answer this one.<p>In the last 10 years, I&#x27;ve lived and worked Switzerland for 6 months, in the south of France for 9 months (contracting), in Scotland for a year, Canada for 10 months, New Zealand for 2 years, Australia on several occasions for a year or so at a time. I&#x27;m currently back in Australia now.<p>In between those, I&#x27;ve lived back in the England, my home country.<p>I&#x27;ve both been following work and picking places to live. I&#x27;ve done a little bit of remote work while I&#x27;ve been overseas but mainly working for various companies who have sponsored me for a visa to work.<p>You&#x27;re right in that moving is stressful but more than stressful, it&#x27;s a real pain. As I&#x27;ve tended to live somewhere for longer than 6 months, I&#x27;ve lived in a place long enough to get settled to some degree and as a result, acquired &quot;stuff&quot; - living stuff such as small items of furniture, quilts, pillows, kitchen utensils, some consumer electronics (I&#x27;ve got an iMac and a laptop now) and so on. Stuff you need if you&#x27;re not living out of a hotel for 6 months. That has been the biggest cause of stress and pain. If you can do without stuff, and I&#x27;d suggest if you live somewhere longer than 6 months you probably can&#x27;t and unintentionally you&#x27;ll start acquiring it anyway, then it would be far easier. If you can live out of a suitcase and laptop bag for 6 - 12 months, then seeing the world is a much easier prospect.<p>I&#x27;ve never intentionally moved to new places, it&#x27;s just how things have worked out but this time is the last time! And I&#x27;ve said that before but this time I mean it! (And I&#x27;ve said that before too).<p>I would certainly recommend travel and working overseas - the experiences you get on both a personal and work level are invaluable. Do I feel like I have a home when I&#x27;ve moved to a new place? I would say I do but an outsider might suggest otherwise when they look at my living spaces that have a tendency to look unpacked! But this time.. this time, I&#x27;m staying.
