    Are you considering emigration?

    Throwing my 2c in :) First left SA in 2015. Moved to London (UK) with wife. Enjoyed the city life and adapted pretty quickly to the self-sufficient lifestyle there. However, when kids came along, life became a lot more demanding and costly. Nevertheless, loved it and enjoyed the outdoors...
