    The weather, the beaches, the fact that the pound is stronger than Holly Holm – these are just some of the reasons the Brits flock to our shores and call South Africa home.

    There are an estimated 5 million British people living overseas around the world and, according to BusinessInsider, 305 660 reside here. That makes us the sixth most popular expat destination, and they quote that ‘South Africa is a land of diverse culture, animals and adventure. It’s also got incredible weather’.

    No mention of the fact that the pound pummels the rand, something that anyone in Cape Town around December and January will tell you plays a rather large part in luring visitors to part with their money.

    Your other top five destinations and their numbers:

    5. New Zealand — 313,850 expats. The country has a more relaxing way of life and is rich with mountains, lakes and places for excursions and sports.

    4. Spain — 381,025 expats. Spain is still high on the list where Brits go for the cheap booze, sunny weather, and relatively easy integration into the culture.

    3. Canada — 674,371 expats. Brits head to the world’s second-largest country for the great mix of snow and sun. It’s immigration-friendly and boasts some of the best healthcare in the world.

    2. US — 758,919 expats. The US, due to its size, has a near-endless variety of lifestyle and job options across all states. But many Brits end up moving back to Britain before they retire due to the expensive healthcare system and tax structures.

    1. Australia — 1,277,474 expats. With 21,000 miles worth of coastline, Australia is the No. 1 choice for those who want to live near the beach. The country has only a population of 22 million and boasts plenty of space for a high standard of living and outdoor activities.

    Fair bloody dinkum mate, there’s a joke in here somewhere about criminal ancestors but we’ll take the moral high ground.

    Thanks Andrew
