Moving abroad..Need advice

Where do i find the best advice for living/moving/working abroad? There are so many publications out there etc.....im looking at either France or Spain...but have an open mind. I have a family so would need to source schools too. This is not a girlie whim....i have had this yearning for years...since working abroad as an entertainer. Obviously will sell my house here.....quite happy to go and explore but need a bit of direction of the best research....in other words.....i need pointing in the right direction!!! Thank you in anticipation.

    You could go to the Emigrate Show. The website also has loads of info and you can sign up to a monthly email. They also do a magazine.

    The rate that everyone is leaving this country seems amazing. I'm off soon too!

    Hi Tardis
    I found the best site for getting advice from people who have moved abroad and talking to others in a similar situation is www.britishexpats.com - there are forums on Europe (both France and Spain have their own forums) as well as further afield. I've found this site invaluable.

    Hope this helps and good luck.
