It would be fair to say that “relocation” has been put on ice for the past eighteen months.
However, with restrictions slowly easing through the world, more and more people are starting to take the plunge again and relocate.
For some, it is because of the new possibilities in relation to working from home. After all, more jobs than ever before do not require you to be present in an office – and this presents a world of relocation opportunities.
Of course, the opposite is still true, and some people will still move for a new job. Or, it might not even be work related, the reasons are endless.
Regardless, let’s now take a look at five of the best cities you could relocate to as you plan your new-look life.
Leeds
Let’s start with an unlikely suggestion. If you’re contemplating a UK relocation, London is usually the top contender. However, it’s also the most obvious – and for some of us, it’s just far too busy.
Let’s, therefore, introduce you to Leeds. It’s a huge city, but it’s far more relaxed than London. There’s a massive student population too which means it has a real buzz – and plenty of bars and restaurants.
It’s also cheaper than London, so if you’re looking to relocate on a budget, storage in Leeds might be the one for you.
San Francisco
Now we’re talking. San Francisco is a world-class city and it’s where you’ll find everything you love about California.
It’s a real hub for tech startups and the opportunities to build your own business are endless – especially when you’re in such an inspirational place.
It’s also a great location if you want to kick-start that next chapter of your life. There’s plenty to do, plenty to see and it really feels like a blank canvas in which you can start something new.
Bordeaux
Why not consider something a little different?
There are plenty of reasons to relocate to Bordeaux, especially if you’re looking for a new challenge. It’s a beautiful area, particularly if you’re into wine.
It’s also a popular market for expats so there’s plenty of support should you need it. And, of course, it’s the perfect place to get your French language skills up to scratch.
Copenhagen
Copenhagen is another city that’s worth considering if you’re looking to relocate. It’s known as the “green city” because it’s so easy to get around on foot or by bike, but it’s also a great destination for those of you who love the great outdoors.
There are also plenty of opportunities to take on leadership roles or build your own business – and, of course, it’s a great place to start learning more about Nordic culture.
Antwerp
Antwerp is the place to be if you’re looking for a new start. It’s known as Europe’s fashion capital, but it’s also a great place for those of you who want to set up your own business.
It’s well connected to the rest of Europe, so if you’re looking to network with other professionals, this might be the one for you – and it’s close enough to travel to London if you really need to.
