Have you ever wanted to just pick up and move?

I've been to Scotland and felt the weird genetic draw of the place. My mind and body felt the generations before me calling me home. That being said, I love my present home. Taxes are killing me, but I truely love my little 11+ acres and the neighbors who mind their own business. It will be very difficult for me when I have to leave this place. When my wife and I bought this property, I could not understand why the seller cried at the closing. I was a 23 year old kid and didn't understand. Now, 46 years later I understand. I',m content.

believe me, you wouldn't regret picking up and running off to New Zealand! it's truly, truly amazing there. i made a spontaneous decision to go there for school years ago. i heard about the opportunity, made my decision and was in the country, all within 3 weeks (my Visa came in the day before i left... i don't know what i would have done if it hadn't come).

that was one of the greatest experiences of my life, a year well spent. now, i just dream about going back. one day i'll make it happen!

I would definitely do it if I had the funds too. I'd love to go to Estonia. It's so beautiful there. I watched a documentary on it and also searched the web and it's wonderful. I'd also love to go to Scotland...but I'd be just as content having 10+ acres in the country where I can relax and enjoy nature and my animals!
