When I made the decision to move here, there was always the chatterbox in my head. Am I doing the right thing? Especially that I would sell my house, leave and sell off many of my tools, belongings etc.

But I made the decision on that I had nothing to lose, I wasn't happy with my life in UK.

I believe we have to live the way and where we want to be. We can't stay in one place just because we feel we will leave everything and people we know behind, it's our life and we should do what we feel is right for us.

Won't be long before I will have been here a year, and I have no regrets.

Yes, there are things I miss, like friends, family, the food, pastry, steak pies, bread, Indian curry.

But I'm living the life I want to live, and it outweighs all I miss.
