I'm thinking about moving from Hungary (Eastern Europe). I used to live in London in my twenties but came home (what is home? I miss the UK) to settle down. But the leading right wing party is poisoning this country for Chinese money so I'm forced to move.
I think with all its problems US is still the best country in the world, but moving there is not an option for me. Even with a H-1B visa or whatever that's called, I don't like the idea of being tied that tightly to my employer. The US is still the source of innovation (imho for cultural reasons). I feel like my spirit is closest to the American one. Love for freedom, self-sufficiency etc.
Since the USA is not an option I'll settle for one of the European countries. Candidates are Spain, Switzerland or Austria.
Reasons are: Spain has cheap properties and amazing nature, Switzerland has an extremely high quality of life and wealth, and Austria is close to my home country.
Feel free to hit me up (email in profile) if you want to know about navigating life in Austria, I moved here from the UK 5 years ago. We also have amazing nature but the properties are not so cheap :)
Hey! Email is not public on HN, if you want to publish it you gotta include it in your about section :). Also how are you with German? I used to speak some but forgot most. Can you get by with English?
