    If you had to put down whatever you're holding right now, get in the car and go somewhere else to start your life over, where would you go?

    Now I know some of you have significant others and that's alright they can come too. If you have a kid or two then they're coming along for the ride.

    But you seriously just have to walk away and start afresh.

    What would you do? Where would you go? Would you change your name and try and be someone else? This is an opportunity guys, make use of it.

    I would move to the UK and start working in a bar. I would try and join a local football club and have a bit of a go at making it somewhere. Bit late to start now but who knows. Working in a bar is alright because I can meet a fancy lady who might have a bit of cash, then I would be alright.

    And if it all went pear shaped I would bugger off to Europe somewhere and become a con artist.

    I would move to New Zealand. This is fairly easy for me. I intend on picking everything up and going back there at some point anyway.

    It's every Australian's deep hidden dream to return to the motherland and work in a bar. Don't know why. I just think it's a good place to pick up.

    It's funny because if you asked any young person in the UK where they'd like to move away to, they'd say Australia.

    I'd move to Johannesburg because I hear they employ black people to collect the golf balls at driving ranges and rich white men get to try and hit them and I'd totally be down for that

    I'd move to the UK for obvious reasons (*cough* boyfriend *cough*)

    Assuming he was coming with me and we could go anywhere, then I dunno. Is the moon Enceladus an option?

    New Mexico! Nothing special about it, I just like the weather. Also is it just me, or is New Mexico the least mentioned state of all time? But if I was really starting over and going by myself to a place where nobody knows me, I'd probably go somewhere further up north to a place that actually has a winter season, just to be thorough with the change.

    Absolutely! But I can only imagine that you'll be dead within seconds.

    I'd really like to try life in Seattle, actually. I'm fascinated by the place.

    In this hypothetical universe, do border and immigration laws apply? Either way I would cash out my money and...

    If yes - I'm moving to Baffin Island
    If no - I'm moving to Sweden or Norway
    If no - but it has to be realistic, I would move to Hawaii. Or Montana.

    I'd move to New Zealand with Mike/o_O and work as a paintress and have my own beautiful flower garden~ I'd be selling my paintings as well as the flowers~ <3

    I would also work in a wildlife reserve to help save and protect the kiwi bird and kakapo~

    Move to the country side somewhere pretty like Italy or France and make pastries.

    I'd only do that for a year or two though, just for a change of pace. I'd always come back to California though.
