The urge is back..

Next year, it'll be ten years since my Scottish adventure began. Ten years since I uprooted my entire life and moved across the North Sea, to seek something new. Trying to make it in another country.

I loved every second of being in Scotland. From the food to the people, it was a wonderful place to live. Relatively cheap, stunning to look at and full of amazing experiences. I felt at home there, for some reason. After I took a DNA test, it became clear why, seeing as I am 30.9% English. At least, that's according to the test. Maybe that was the reason I felt at home there?

Recently, I have been fighting the urge to go there again, to live and work. Yes, I love the US, and I really do appreciate Denmark for what it is - but the UK is tempting me again.

I have been looking for warehouse jobs there, and so far I have found a few that I would love to investigate further. One of them is at Amazon, but I need to keep looking for the perfect job. I am very happy with my current job, however, so it's not something I am going to apply for tomorrow. Once I have had my 40th birthday, I will start looking. That gives me 7 months to really dig deep and ask myself "Is this really what I want?"

I can already tell the answer is yes, because I loved it so much the first time!

Hopefully you'll cop onto yourself and decide not to go.

Amazing how much just a few years can change a Country.
What is it about the UK that you love that you would tell someone who wants to visit there? My parents went and my mom said it was dark by three o’clock. I guess we’re just accustomed to sunshine over here.
For me, the UK has everything I like. Great food, friendly people and natural beauty! About the getting dark early.. It depends on what time of the year you visit. During the summertime, it gets dark relatively late, at around 9 pm, but during the winter, it does get dark pretty early, yes. During the month of December, it gets dark at around 4 pm. The UK is well worth a visit!
I once had a good old chat with a young woman on the platform of Cardiff Central waiting for a delayed train.

There's an Amazon warehouse here in South Wales and she told me how staff get treated by the company.

I wouldn't recommend relying on an Amazon warehouse job.
