The topic of packing up and starting over apparently became a trend in 2020 with more people looking up how to move out of their home countries.

There was a 29% spike in Google searches globally on how to move abroad from January to October of 2020, according to Remitly.

Per the report, Canada is the most popular destination for those hoping to start over overseas, with 30 countries having it at the top of their search list.   

Among European searchers, Canada also came in second as one of the most popular destinations to move to, behind Germany.

Additionally, the True North won out among people in 14 African countries including Ghana, Kenya and South Africa.

With "stunning scenery, safety and [a] vast array of job opportunities," it might just be time to pack a suitcase for Japan.
