The UK Has Fallen - Planning My Escape For a Better Life

Britain is broken, and this is how I'm planning my escape for a better life.
They say that when you're bored of London, you're bored of life. Personally, I just became tired of the day-to-day grind that London imposed upon me. Don't get me wrong, London is an amazing city; actually, let me rephrase that, London was an amazing city.

But times change, people change, and the UK has changed. Inflation, property prices, crime, the cost of living, and the negativity that had engulfed the UK over the last few years, and let's not forget the abysmal weather.

Who is Damian King, and what is Freedom Lifestyle?

I'm just an average guy who got fed up with living a mundane life in the UK and decided to do something about it.

Now, each day is an adventure, and whenever things start to get a little boring or mundane, I change things up and travel to a new country, learn something new, or do something that puts me outside my comfort zone.

Anything but doing the same old thing, day in day out and expecting a different result.

If you risk nothing, you risk everything!

I’m leaving Leeds as soon as my house is sold and moving to Da Nang. The cheapest beach resort in the world and it’s a bloody amazing city. I’m currently a bathroom fitter and having a complete change to become a YouTube travel vlogger, musician and author. I’m using Da Nang as my base. I honestly can’t wait. The UK is shot to bits. I drove down the road this morning in my van. The sky was grey, the buildings were grey and the people were grey and fed up. Get me out of here and fast!!!

Damian, I cared for my Dad for over 6 years and my Mum for 2 years. All that time I would often day dream about all the things I was going to do after they passed. I lost my Mum 14 months ago and Dad 11 months ago. Truth is, man, now I'm alone and could do anything I want, literally, I am too scared to get out there and try. Your message at the end of the video prompted me to write this message. It's like I am waiting for the day where I start. Anyway, good luck to you, mate.

Just moved to Prague, the last 4 years of my life in the UK were the lowest of life, I really thought my life was over, a slow slide to suicide or a mental institution. Anyone with any sense should flee as if hell is on their heels, because for all intents and purposes, it is.

"Freedom". I know that desire, .... that need! I still remember all of those feelings driving me. I was born and raised in small mining town in Central Scotland. My family was dirt poor. At 17, I left home with about 20 pounds to my name on a bus to Aberdeen in 1982. I had nothing but a backpack and few sandwiches my mother packed for me. I got a shit job right away at the job center. I lived on potatoes and beans for months. I had little income and walked daily in rain and snow 5 miles each way to where my shit job was and I shared a rancid room with a filthy medical student named Phil who never showered for months at a time. I traded up a few menial jobs and eventually saved enough to pay for commercial Diving school. At 18, I got my first dive job offshore. I worked my ass off like a slave for a few years, educated myself in advanced ultrasonic and radiographic weld inspection and then got into deep saturation diving. I went to the US on holiday and met my wife. Lived in CA and commuted to the North Sea for 10 years to work. Ended up retiring from diving and building up businesses in CA and selling them. More important is I have an awesome wife of over 35 years, happy, well balanced adult kids who are all great company. I've worked like a demon and lived life like a rockstar at times. I've left nothing on the table when it comes to getting out there and living. I will never look back on life and say "I could have or should have done this or that". I'm still forging ahead and have so much more stuff on the calendar of life to do. My point?....get out there and do it! Listen to no negative feedback. Blow off anybody that tries to be a naysayer. Financial independence is "Freedom" but my family is my prized accomplishment. Get both and you'll have it made. I'd say good luck but you don't need luck. You just need an unwavering desire and persistence. The rest just "happens".

Hello again.
I have escaped and come to this self evident truth - There's 4 important things in life - health, family, freedom and integrity.
Without integrity you're nothing. Freedom gives you options, choices and the capability to move and not be stuck. Freedom from debt and being locked into the system. Family is all about your cohort and tribe (those you can rely on). And health is obvious. Without health you're nothing and cannot have the other 3 important things.

In 2001 at 28 years old I was working in a Ford garage in South Wales, by the end of the year I made a giant leap to work in Saudi Arabia in an industry I knew nothing about (Seismic industry), jump forward 20 years and I had worked all over the Middle East and North Africa, during this time I married my Thai girlfriend and had a family in Thailand. Now 51 years old in 2024 and still happily married retired living in Thailand 🇹🇭. If I had not made that initial step all those years ago I would never have had all the memories that I experienced during those 20 years. Take the first step…it will be fine.

I love my country. I love the people, I love our culture, I love our history, perhaps even more than those things I love the land, I love the weather. I have only ever lived in the countryside, I cannot stand towns or cities in any part of the world (they seem pretty similar in most places I've been). There is nowhere as wonderful on this planet as rural Britain.

It's a shame that some people who were born here cannot share my love for these extraordinary islands. Of course, if there's anyone who doesn't love it then I don't want them to live here, I want them to find somewhere they do love, the world is a big place.

Having served in the military for many years, it was nice to come back home at the end of service. Today however, I have looked at small plots of land in both Poland & Hungry with a view to escaping the UK. The future of UK is very bleak indeed, it’s a very dangerous place now, unlike the 60s & 70s when I was growing up.

Left London 7 months ago, lived in Slovakia and Italy in that time so far, sometimes tough finding work, but try hard enough and anything is possible!

Totally agree. Push yourself. Push your boundaries. Get out of your comfort zone. Make it happen. Take (sensible) risks. Have no regrets.

I agree what you saying! I’m just a foreigner living here nearly 9 years. I totally can relate to you!

London is an amazing City, I work in London as a cabbie and can tell you the change is amazing, yes we have problems, haven't we always? When I say change I mean the look and variety is now incredible compared to 20 years back, I think things come in cycles, the 90's was amazing for clubs and that feeling it had, life has moved on and yes it is now so ridiculously expensive but in time things WILL change for the better, the UK is a beautiful country and yes politically things are bad, prices are ridiculous people are fed up!
But just take a walk through London on any dry evening and it has that charm it has that special thing that special feeling.
You are right in a lot of things you say, but always remember London is a very very special place x

It's the same everywhere now. All Anglosphere countries are suffering inflation and stagnant economies and unfortunately due to these nations de industrialising, the Political and Corporate class see Mass immigration as a means to pump up their economies. This is just making things worse for individuals even though GDP gets expanded. Here in Australia, things are going backwards, but we are starting from a very high level, so it's still livable here. For how long, I dont know, but if you want a chance at a life where you can have disposable income if you work, Australia is the best place in the Anglosphere. Come to Australia. Perth, Adelaide, Darwin and Hobart are still affordable cities as are regional towns. Goodluck.
