#340 Why Is Everyone Leaving the UK?

Michael Lavers
About this episode

In this episode, I mix a serious topic with some fun where I talk about my reverse culture shock returning to the UK after one year while trying to answer the question why so many people are deciding to leave the UK and move elsewhere in the world.

Despite being British, seeing my own country from the outside gave me some interesting realisations, so I share a lot of them in today's episode. 

This episode might have you thinking about the future and how our countries will look in a few years, but also questioning the habits and culture of your own country.
