Alright now that I shared my awesome new job, I can finally share with you how moving abroad is going.

@Gina @Nono a real country that takes money out of my pocket and does some useful social services with it sounds like a *dream* from a US perspective.

My taxes just pay for bombing Gaza and Iran

[musaceae@social.vivaldi.net]

@Gina How about Slovenia? Heard some good stories about it.

[revkarol@fosstodon.org]

@Gina the Bern coastline is unbelievable

[joface@mastodon.scot]

@jackeric @Gina Plus one for Scotland ticking most of these boxes, but the weather really isn’t going to be any different from NL ️

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@revkarol lol

[fedops@fosstodon.org]

@giantspacesquid @yngmar @Gina fits all the requirements, or at least can depending on where you decide to moor next.

[whjhoek@mastodon.nl]

@Gina @deach
Alternatively, somewhere in my favourite country Norway .

[fedops@fosstodon.org]

@koehntopp and the wildfires.

@Gina surprised Bulgaria's not on your list, it's where Italians retire and has quite the tech scene. Whether you want mountains, plains or beaches there are options

Full disclosure, my wife's Bulgarian so more aware of it than most

[xinit@mastodon.coffee]

@Gina
Though, I basically never started commuting again "after" covid restrictions went away.

[pedro@mastodon.pepicrft.me]

@Gina I recommend cities in the north of Barcelona like Masnou o Premia de Mar.

[pmfl@masto.pt]

@Gina Italy for food reasons

[mikesax@mas.to]

@Gina Porto seems like a pretty close match… or maybe Northern Spain, like Logroño?

[mikesax@mas.to]

@Gina While it’s not the EU but almost, Switzerland, near lake Geneva may be a good option. You can hop on the train and fly from GVA very easily. Not too hot and sunnier than NL.

[gina@fosstodon.org]

France still seems nice as well.

[aurochs@todon.eu]

@Gina Try Granada.

[jajo@mastodon.nu]

@Gina I'm moving to south of Toulouse. In Toulouse there is no problem being english talking.

[aurochs@todon.eu]

@Gina Alicante is also an option, but I don't want to seem chauvinistic. :-).

[haraldkliems@fosstodon.org]

@Gina Butterfly museum!! https://www.patrice-besse.co.uk/ads/residences-and-character-houses-france-for-sale-in-france-In-the-Millevaches-Regional-Nature-Park--pb335326

[defuneste@fosstodon.org]

@wronglang @Gina @Tarnport @Nono

I do not find I pay less taxes in the US than in France (but I had a postdoc income in France :P).

And yes Krysztof is right the climate is not going to improve ...
