It’s crazy how we live in a world where you can actually move country and if you have the right combo of drive and luck you can just do that. Thanks to being jewish you’d have to go back quite far to find my ancestors who hadn’t moved country so really I’m carrying on their proud tradition. But you go back far enough and that kind of migration is seemingly unthinkable

Girlfriend and I are moving country together at last and my (four) parents have been, separately, quietly trying to give me advice based on their own traumatic experiences of moving country together. And somewhat embarrassingly we were going to make the same mistakes, so their advice has ended up being much needed.
