Another year has passed and...

I still have not moved anywhere.

I set myself challenges for this year though. However I forgot about them so I will have a look through and see if I actually managed any of them.


  • Work out different ways in which I will be able to make it across to Canada.
I have not done this
  • Research how my partner will be able to get a job as a ranger and if there is anything else that he will need to get.
I have not done this.
  • Find out any useful information about Canada such as Education system, health system, taxes, utilities, recycling schemes, public transport etc
I have found some websites but I have not spent much time actually reading them (I just found them)
  • Find out what kinds of visas are available and how to apply for a permanent visa. 
I have not done this.
  • Find out how self employment affects my chances of getting across.
I have not done this.
  • Find out how I can continue to pay outstanding bills once I have moved across.
I have not done this.
  • Find out how moving affects any long term insurance that I have got.
I have not done this.


LOL I have not done well at all with my list. Though in my defense I have not got any actual plans to move so I can very easily put off finding out things like that as they are not really needed. I am sure that once the time comes when I actually need to find it out I could get found out in a very short time.

I do think that for next years goals I need to set myself some relevant goals. I doubt that a move to Canada will be happening next year, however I would like to relocate to the north of Scotland. I think that while I need to include research about moving to Canada I should base the majority of it around moving within Scotland.

Happy Christmas

I have had a funky day here. Even though we have not had any snow today it has still been lovely to see the snow on the ground.

I think I have pretty much decided that I do not want to live in Australia.. I think I need to change the title of this blog to reflect that.

Right at this moment I am not really sure where I do want to live. I would still like to live in Canada, but I still so not know where about. Ideally I would go out there and take a road trip to gain some idea of what it is like there. Now I just need to work on making that happen.
