My personal opportunities (working in IT) seem to be de-grading due to cheap services from developing countries. And you need to be on a £100k salary to own in a half decent property and good quality of life.

I moved from London to Shropshire a couple of years ago as I thought this would give me a better life. It has helped a little but I want more...

I feel like an Expat already but without a country. I really like the sound of Australia (NSW) but the distance may be a barrier. It would be great to move to a country where I could hop on a cheap flight and come back to the UK for the weekend.

Please help me find a destination...
