I've taken the plunge, given my notice at work, and bought the ticket. I'm coming.
I can't pretend that I'm not a bit scared - it's going to be a bit of an adjustment to move from a city of 2 million to a rural community of a few hundred! I don't have a job lined up, and I've pretty much forgotten how Canada works. The longest I've been in Canada since 1999 is 17 days.
I do know there are some things I'll struggle to get used to - things that, if I'm honest, I think work better in the UK. Little things. Things like having the price you see being the price you pay (not having to add tax at the checkout) - and being able to use your debit card for free. I counted yesterday - I used my debit card 7 times. That'll get expensive in Canada...!
Things that I will very easily get used to? Seeing my parents every day. Seeing my brothers regularly. Walks on the beach whenever I want them. Snow. Summer. Community.
Now... how soon should I start packing?
