    My budget at moment seems to be about €2000 in personal savings.i think europe would seem to be only place at the moment.I don't know anyone abroad but yet there's nothing seem to be holding me back here since most of my friends are tied down with kids or debt.

    I'm probably wasting my time but has anyone with any good advice please?.

    Yeah... go for it. It's valuable to get foreign work experience, particularly if you learn new languages or skills.

    Try and organise either a job or somewhere to live before you leave. Doing either of them out there eats your budget up fast. It also makes things difficult, because to get things like a bank account, or a tax number, you usually need an address or a job. Perversely, it can be harder to get a lease without a tax number or a bank account.

    When I went abroad for the first time, I stepped into a job that also relocated me, which made the whole process a lot easier and cheaper - this is ideal if you can get it. Some of these work-abroad programmes will also ease the application processes for the paperwork you need to get these things done - don't underestimate the usefulness of this, particularly if you're going to a country where you don't speak the language.
