You could try freelance work for clients remotely. That would give you a lot of freedom to choose where to live. I am an American living, working (as a freelance programmer) in Czech Republic -- good economy (especially Prague), low crime rate, low cost of living. Happy to answer questions.

What kind of visa are you on? Was it hard to get?

The easiest and best option for me was temporary residency, because my partner is Czech. But if you are not in a long-term relationship with a Czech citizen then I recommend a business visa. Here's a fairly straight-forward resource for what is required:

A man was walking along a river bank when he saw another man on the opposite side. "Hello!" he called out, "how do you get to the other side of the river?" The man called out in response, "you are on the other side of the river!"

Want to know the reason that grass is greener on the other side of the fence? Because, it is fertilized with bullshit.

In Ireland, the grass is greener because it's always raining.

I've found a job abroad (im from portugal) twice, once in UK and recently netherlands, both through LinkedIn Jobs (coincidently or not). Had other contacts through HN Who's Hiring posts as well.

Ps: SanomaNL is hiring in the Netherlands (senior fronted/backend python but Golang is creeping up/devops): https://github.com/sanoma/jobs/blob/master/README.md

Yeah, democracy seemed to work OK. The average american wants it to be illegal to not be a God-loving hetereosexual white man. And they elected someone who will make sure that laws get passed to move the country in that direction. The problem in this case is that that's terrible.

Last time I checked Trump was running on a pro LGBT platform...

It seems that message was lost on his supporters. I've seen scant evidence in interviews, polling, or personal interactions to indicate this pro-LGBTQ stance is shared.

OP specifically said it was a serious question, so this comes off as patronising..

> other countries aren't really doing that well with human rights, LGBT issues, affordable housing, or constitutionally-protected free speech Bit of a weird statement. There are a lot of countries in the world and plenty of them do far better than the US on these issues.

Not in all topics. I lived in 3 EU countries so far, and I'm preparing for another changes, probably the last one. I don't care about LGBT issues as it doesn't affect me. I mostly care about living standard, access to nature (parks, reservoirs, sea/mountains), high quality roads for motorcycling and IT infrastructure. Countries I considered: Malta - similar wages as in Poland, but smaller market, housing problem as i…

So Berlin has housing problems, but nice pay/(rent+cost of living)? Sounds like the housing problem isn't that big.

Berlin has a lot of very nice green spaces, and excellent infrastructure.

Oh and also, they just got themselves a left+left+green government.

How are the immigration processes in various countries ?

US is awful visa-wise, considering that much of the cap is filled up in a day by Indian body shops; ensuring thus that one can at best start in October, and set out on this magical journey 6-12 months ahead.

I'm mostly just curious. There is a lot written about immigration to the US but not too much about emigration from it. I agree that moving away doesn't really solve the problem and that despite our flaws I believe we have an advantage in many respects. Democracy isn't perfect, and sometimes it means you lose. It means you need to talk to people who disagree with you and persuade them, and I think this cycle shows tha…

Unlike most countries, the U.S. still taxes non-resident citizens which probably does something to put people off emigrating the US.

It's like an economic wall that prevents highly skilled people from leaving.
