For Britons who are keen to move abroad, the possibilities are endless. Close to home in Europe, popular options include Spain, France, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, and Germany.
Further afield, many enjoy a life Down Under in Australia or New Zealand, while others flock to picturesque Canada or the USA.
Relocating can be intimidating, what with language barriers, bureaucracy, and meeting new people.
However, as GB News speaks to more and more British expats who live across the globe, it's clear that moving abroad can be rewarding.
One woman who traded the UK for a North American expat haven revealed that she has fallen in love with her new home.
Meanwhile, another expat moved to an unlikely European destination and hasn't looked back in 25 years.
'I was looking for a new challenge and wanted to expand my job prospects'
Ben Smye
'Since living in Germany, I easily travel to 10 or more countries each year'GETTY IMAGESMost recently, GB News spoke exclusively to Ben Smye, who relocated to Germany eight years ago.
Germany is known for its high standard of living, great job opportunities, and emphasis on work-life balance. It also caters to all sorts of tastes, with both beautiful natural landscapes and vibrant, dynamic cities.
After spending time in both Berlin and Munich, Ben shared the best and worst things about living in the Western European nation. While he loves being so connected to the rest of Europe, he admitted the language barrier can be a challenge.
Ben told GB News: "Having lived abroad before, I was looking for a new challenge and wanted to expand my job prospects. I was living in Exeter at the time, which, while a nice place to live, felt quite restrictive.
"The Brexit vote solidified my decision and made me think it was time for a change before the impact of Brexit (e.g. restrictions on moving to Europe) hit.
"I moved to Berlin, but after a couple of months there, I moved again to Munich for a new opportunity."
Sharing his favourite thing about life in Germany, Ben stated: "At the start, everything was new and exciting. I was meeting new people, I started a new job, and I spent my spare time exploring new cities and places.
"Another thing I really love about Munich is how connected it is to the rest of Europe. In the UK, especially living in Exeter, travelling abroad felt like a mission every time.
"Living in Munich, I can get to Austria, Italy, the Czech Republic, France, Switzerland, Slovenia and other countries on the train or by car quite easily. Since living in Germany, I easily travel to 10 or more countries each year."
"Another positive for Ben is that, as an expat, he "tends to pay less attention to the news".
"I don't get so depressed by all the negative news you tend to see these days," he explained. "For example, as I can't vote here, I don't go into huge detail on the politics."
He told GB News that while there are some things he "does not agree with", such as the rise of the Alternative for Germany (AfD), he "doesn't spend too much time worrying about it". In the UK, however, where he was a voter, he worried more about the country's politics.
But no place is perfect, and of course, Ben has faced some difficulties in his new home. Revealing his "least favourite" thing about living in Germany, the expat said: "There is still a language barrier. Although I have learnt German, I'm not fluent enough to live exclusively speaking German yet, which does make certain things more difficult.
"Although I have a good friends group here, it's mainly expats, and I think if I stay here long term, I need to integrate more with the locals.
"Living in a big city like Munich, it doesn't feel that important, but if I moved outside of the city to a smaller town, it definitely would be."

"Bureaucracy is a normal part of life here," Ben said, "as are train delays".
"In many parts of life, the famous German efficiency is a myth."
What shocked him most, though, was the use of cash over cards. He explained: "Outside of the big cities - and sometimes even in them - cash is still king.
"When I first moved here, I would regularly be in restaurants where only a certain type of card specific to Germany was accepted - a standard Visa or Mastercard debit card wasn't - otherwise you had to pay in cash.
"Covid helped accelerate card adoption, but cash is still preferred by many small businesses."
