Leaving everything behind (14)
Good luck mate...you gonna need it....
Good luck. You are going to one of the best countries in the world.
Don't worry about it. You would have had to do a lot more worrying, had you chosen to go to a third world country.
Wish I could join you!

Pavarotti left it all behind this morning, and that is far worse than whatever you will be leaving behind.
I've done that... it's ok... keep and open and a posistive mind and everything will be just great!
Been there done that and I just did it again...your friends are no further away than your messenger or your skype phone...you meet new friends and you get another culture under your skin...all in all it is very educacional and if you make sure you come out and meet other people you wont feel lonely...
Good luck with it all...
Good luck with it all...
I've done it too. The first few months are an adjustment period, but you will be fine and a year from now have lots of wonderful new experiences to share with your new friends as well as your old.
Good luck

Well very good for you ... I don't think that is a bad choise if you know what you are about to do .... I moved out alone ... in Germany ... now I think I would do it again if I need too
well im leaving switzerland for spain with my two kids. been here 15yrs. it has a very high standard of living and beautiful scenery. its very safe and clean but and its a big one and all foreigners talk about it, there are forums dedicated to it ......stay long enough to get over that holiday feeling and you will feel the hardness and the coldness, its a well known fact and im sorry to sound terrible and yes i have stayed a long time for my kids in this guilded cage but it has no soul or heart.
Since when ...ever ...Portuguese has left everything behind ??.. 
I mean even Vasco da Gama, came back.. and brought fortunes..
Even if only experience and broadend mind .. its worth to enjoy the adventure
I´m sure your Mummi will be happy to see you for X-mas back home

Just moved back here two years ago,after a 36 year stay Overseas.
Switzerland can be a pretty dreary place even if you have Family here.So I wish you all the best of Luck and hope you will find some Friends and Compagnionship soon.

conrad. i am impressed. i was worried i would offend but its not all in auslanders heads then?
Did it last year, moved to Latvia leaving everything behind............... a lot of friends were concerned I was moving to Russia :P but, apart from a few small chalenges it was probably the best thing I have done for a long time, a new start, meeting new people, discovering a new way of life.
