I absolutely do not like moving. Moving rooms, moving house, moving countries.
I prefer stability and minimal upheaval, but sometimes an opportunity presents itself, where you would kick yourself later, if you didn't grasp it by the horns.
I left the UK in 1998 and spent over 7 years away.
I spent just over 7 years back in the UK, after being repatriated in 2006.
I am back where I originally moved to, 15 years ago.
Every move has resulted in down-sizing, but you do get to filter out the crap that you are never going to use anyway.
I'm a bit of a pack-rat generally, so it's good to get a fresh start.
Regards.
