Hi everyone,
My husband and I have not long returned from our first trip to Japan. Of course, we miss being there terribly and long to return.
I’m acutely aware that being on holiday somewhere does not mean the same experience living there, but I feel like it’s an itch I really need to scratch and we’d love the opportunity to spend a few months there to test the waters.
I’m 35 and based in the UK and with a remote role that pays enough to qualify for the digital nomad visa. My husband does not but it’s feasible that he could within the next few months.
The complication is that we have a dog and wouldn’t ever consider being apart from her for potentially 6 months… am I mad even thinking this would be possible? Is it even fair to put a dog through such a long flight to then do it again potentially 6 months later?
Would appreciate any advice or thoughts – I’m feeling more and more upset at life in the UK and don’t want to regret not doing this when I’m older, but we also don’t want to throw away our careers and sell our house and make such a big move without trying it first!
