Do it Mark!

You have tons of options for your house, renting, selling, turning it into a house share. Same with your stuff.

As for your work, you can do some permeation of it wherever you are in the World!

I regret not travelling more and not moving abroad sooner! It has improved me in so many ways as a person and learning a second language has improved my communication in ways I could never imagine (verbally and non verbally)

It's not or everyone and from K's posts too you will have really tough times but with dark there's light and I've had more awesome times than I could have had back home
