Good afternoon.

I am looking for some advice. For the last 12 years or so I have been an expat everywhere from the middle east to the far east. I am also a single mother of a four year old. I really want to settle down somewhere and give my son a more settled life. I really don't want to go back to the UK as that is also no the life I want for him. My question is...where would be the best place to settle in your opinion. Bearing in mind that I would have to get work and would need a decent school etc. I am considering Portugal and Greece but haven't a clue how to go about finding a job.
I am really fed up and want to start getting a plan together but seem to just go round in circles.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
