The most popular country among British expats is named: It's not in Europe
Britons who dream of a new life abroad are more likely to choose Australia than Spain, despite the widespread belief that the European resort has become a haven for the largest number of emigrants.
Such data was published by a study by MoveHub, a company that specializes in helping people move abroad. According to Total Jobs, about 4.5 million Britons want to move abroad, Express.co.uk reports.
According to the study, more than 1.2 million British expats live in Australia. This is four times more than in Spain, where their number is only 302,020.
The United States of America took the second place in the ranking of countries popular for relocation, with 716,260. The third position was taken by Canada, where 531,584 Brits live.
Spain has become the most popular destination for expats in Europe, but there are only 10 thousand more Brits living here than in Ireland.
