Great things to think about. Many of these things are also reasons why I haven't had the courage to move abroad just yet. It has always been a dream to move somewhere where the sun is shining more often than here in Finland, but it's still so hard to leave all the friends and family behind. But someday I will move abroad! Maybe not next year, but before I settle down with kids and a house. You can always come back if it's so.

Also, I'm going to follow you :)
