        @Hikiru @Squizzy I live in Spain and I’m planning to move to Denmark or Norway in a few years. Heat is impossible to manage here, and the political system is almost beyond salvation.

            Oh nice, than you’ll be right in my neighbourhood. Hamburg is really nice and the northern Germans are the best ones (no bias of course :D).

      Your visas are hard to get without a job, and the only jobs hiring foreigners are… big tech companies. I tried Ireland for years before giving up and going elsewhere.
