My girlfriend is Mexican. Her family have property all over the country. She’s also a Chilean resident. We’re considering Santiago. (Mexico is a mess most places.) I’ve also considered a few locations near the Spain/France border, but that would take more effort.

I’m an independent consultant and can work anywhere.

Ahhh, that’s a nice set up. Lucky! Really, I was asking because people love to say “fuck this country, I’m going to another!”, without really taking into consideration the figurative mountain you will have to climb to get there. That is to say, it’s extremely difficult to immigrate out of the US.

Also, I’d love a job like that. I’d be more interested in WFH flat out, but being able to do “whatever you want” and not have that negatively impact work would be nice as well.

Most Americans are so fucking brainwashed to think this the best country. Tell me you’ve never been overseas without saying you’ve never left the country.

Every time I return, I go into a massive depression.

I know it all too well, from liberals to conservatives. I’ve been out of the country only a handful of times and it’s pretty incredible experiencing other cities. I’ve only been to London, Frankfurt and Venice, but it’s so cool not having a car and not needing it. There are some examples of that in the US, but it is NOT the norm.

Not to mention the violence (or, lack thereof comparatively)

Ooo. Near the Spain/France border is where I want to be. Climbing, wine, a melting pot of culture, and the beautiful Pyrenees range.
