Easy in terms of language and society, but if you haven't been back very often it can be difficult in terms of reverse culture shock - how you remember you homeland to be may not be how it is now, or may have only been a memory seen through rose tinted glasses. I've read plenty of comments on MumsNet about women moving back to the UK and finding it difficult to resettle.<br /><br />And these days, it is often financially impossible to move back speculatively so job hunting - possibly from half way round the world - makes things more difficult, even if you have managed to keep up with professional developments (new legislation in your sector, for example).
