| Very wise words Uncle Max and we have already or are currently considering all the issues you have raised. I don't think either of us have rose-tinted specs and I fully understand that isolation is the biggest risk.
I don't want to stay in England any more and have considered residence in several countries over the last few years. There is a huge financial benefit to relocating to Switzerland but several other countries can offer the same saving. That on its own wouldn't be enough.
Being half Italian most of my family live in Milano so for the first time in my life I could live within a few hours drive of them. We would move our boat to the South of France which is around 5 or 6 hours drive. We would keep a house in the UK and would return once every couple of months. We wouldn't be cutting all ties with the UK.
But, the language barrier is a concern. However, we have nearly 6 months to go and we intend to use that time wisely in terms of study. | |

Why don't you move to Locarno? then you can be very close to Italy and leave your boat in Liguria, then the boat would only be 3 hours away. (or you could also move to Lugano, but personally, I prefer Locarno!
)
