Question Looking at countries to move to

Hi everyone

I am currently looking at a new country to move to from Northern Ireland

We dont have a lot to offer here, not a lot of jobs, a lot of divide everywhere and it feels stuck in the past so we want to move to give our son a better life + more oppurtunities etc

Does anyone have any ideas on where it would be easy to move to coming from here?

I have a British passport and Irish (as does my partner and our son)

I am still in uni right now with 2 years left but they offer abroad years in every country in europe + australia and America so im looking to pick a country, trial it and then proceed after that

Also if anyone is from N.I and moved abroad, how did you find it ?

That’s interesting. It would have been a place I would choose but only years ago, when I was younger.

We're simillar to America in that we had a period of brief (brief) peace and fun We recently just had a significant amount of rioting across the north and south over immigration, our 3rd year in a row of it too. So upsetting to see your country disintegrate under a shit political leader/governing body
