The numbers have gone up by 60%

Now, we're not saying this necessarily has anything to do with Brexit (sigh) but the past year has seen a 60% increase in the millennial generation relocating abroad.

According to MoveHub.com, approximately 350,000 relocating enquiries from adults aged 18-34 have come through in the past 12 months.

And considering there are some European cities that are cheaper to commute to London from than London itself, we don't blame anyone for considering it.

Plus, we've got a comprehensive list of the best cities to be freelance in to embrace that remote working life.

The report also revealed that better job prospects was the number one reason for people deciding to move internationally (50%) while the general cost of living was the most important thing to consider when choosing a destination.

Interestingly enough, however, the destinations most favoured by expats have also changed a lot in the past year with more affordable and less travelled parts of the world rising in popularity.

The more obvious millennial hubs like the US, the UK and Australia are all down in comparison to the previous financial year with the UK taking the biggest hit with inbound international moves down by 22%.

The new popular destinations? Spain, Canada, France, New Zealand, Germany, Ireland, Portugal, Italy and UAE.

Sun, sea and sangria? Don't mind if we do...
