The pun hit perfectly, lots of raw prawns out there

We have similar lives!! In the past decade alone, I’ve moved between Thailand, Scotland, Germany, Australia and the UK lolsob. Currently I’m even abroad at a research fellowship (is it a sickness?) My friends also ask “how do I do it?” I do it because I can (huge) and because I think I have a desire to see how I can adapt (and thrive?) in different locales. I too have also mainly moved for opportunities and work, although I spent two years “digital nomading” to see lots of South East Asia. I have two passports —British and Canadian— and this affords me so much travel (and moving) privilege. I absolutely make use of this ability to move as I wish, because especially lately, I have been trying to avoid the rhetoric you mention here on plague island. I have another move coming up in 2024, and this one is firmly about rooting and community ❤️
