What is your moving away checklist?

or what's holding you back from being an expat?

I'm still young, so that is the main issue for me. I have a pretty good job right now for my age, and I want to have a good safety net of experience and money before heading out.

So because I'm still in an early stage here, my issues are really:

• I want two years experience in my field (IT)
• I want to have at least 15k saved up, preferably 20k. This is not including my emergency savings or retirement savings.
• Distant third would be finding someone to take over my rental lease
