I know it's not the same kind of away from home sans-family homesickness you're dealing with, but it does make me wonder what it'd be like if I were to move to England in a year or two (I'm considering it).
Wow that was a soppy post on my part.

Yeah I know, it's funny! And I know at the end of the year when I move back to Aus I'm going to be missing NZ like hell and looking up places I stayed on google maps... can't win!
Wow England... that's crazy. I don't think I could ever live somewhere that far removed from my home. I think Australia and New Zealand are the only places in the world I can happily reside in! Which are luckily the two places I have citizenship in, too
Someone told me there are a lot of skills shortages in England though, especially in teaching and public services (although NZ has a teacher shortage too!). What would you be planning to do in England?
And nahh, not a soppy post. I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets homesick!
