If you are the kind of person who likes to travel, you will know all about the varied ways other nations residents live their lives. Whether it is Spanish siestas or the beach bum lifestyle of Aussies, there are fascinating differences to everyday life.

If you have fallen out of love with the UK, why not consider moving to a different country permanently? Australia, in particular, could be quite easy to adapt to, mainly due to the language we share. It is pretty common for British residents to locate to the land down under. This is a trend that began after the second World War. The Australian government at the time launched an incentive to bring British families over. They were keen to populate their country with workers could help their economy grow. These offers were known as the Assisted Passage Migration Scheme. The scheme saw British families provided with cheap travel and assistance with setting up a home.

Those pioneering Brits were known affectionately as Ten Pound Poms, in reference to the cost of travelling there. Nowadays, it is not as cheap to get there, but there are loads of options for you and your family to relocate.
