Best way to move to a different country? (lemm.ee)

I'm a young anarchist thinking about moving to a different country (in my case UK or Ireland). I'm wondering what the best way to begin would be.

I imagine that having some contacts in the country would be a good place to start, but how to get them? Maybe you could share some tips?

I am an EU citizen so Ireland will probably be easier but I'm wondering by how much. I'm much more drawn to the UK as I am more connected to It's culture.

My biggest concern is finding new connections. I struggle with it here as well and I don't think moving to another country will just magically make that go away. Although I do feel more confident in English than in my native language.

this is from a month ago ☞ https://guardian.ng/news/world/eu-takes-uk-to-european-court-over-citizens-rights-post-brexit/

The EU on Monday said it was taking Britain to the European Court of Justice for infringing rules on the free movement of the bloc’s citizens and their family members after Brexit.

The European Commission said it believed that “there were several shortcomings” in Britain’s implementation of treaties at the end of 2020.

“The European Commission decided to refer the United Kingdom to the Court of Justice of the European Union… for failure to comply with EU law on free movement of EU citizens and their family members at the end of 2020,” the commission said in a statement.

i remember reading many witness accounts of postBrexit difficulties.

for finding new connections, team sports, volunteering &c may help. Go for the activities that people can't do alone.

The disadvantage of Ireland seems to be incredibly high rent for housing, but on the positive side if you need to share a single room apartment with 5 people it is easy to get connections 🫠 Maybe look for some squatted building?

Maybe enroll in a University there?
