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.
Well the problem is, especially in Portugal, that you are going to need to speak the language to be able to increase your chances of getting employment. There are loads of Brit Expats that move to Spain and Portugal hoping to find a job easily and it often doesnt work out.

I know that aint much help, but its something to importantly consider.
