Ask HN: If you could work remote where would you live?

I'd live more country-side, where you get a lot more house and land for your money. Preferably near a forest and a small lake. I want to get away from the city, but I'd still like to have a town nearby for schools for the kids so that they can have friends to walk/bike to. I'd just like the space to build a fire, build a pizza oven and not bother anybody. And I never want to hear anybody else's outdoor speaker ever again :) (All this in the Netherlands.)

Also I'd like enough rooms to have a proper office (big desk, many screens, drawers filled with Raspberry Pi's, I love computers), now I work in my sons room. I'd also like to have the space to put something like a car wreck on my land, so the kids can explore it. You know, create a rich learning environment, outside and inside.

Edit: Just like Deanna and Riker on Nepenthe [0] but with other people within walking distance ;)

Mediterranean coast for sure.

Croatia, Greece, Montenegro, Italy, Spain, South France, etc. Maybe Tunisia or North Morocco.

Depends on which culture makes the best impression, and after that, I would settle down for 5-6 years.

My 2nd choice would be the Carribean, but the countries are more hit and miss, small islands means everything is expensive, and hot weather year round sounds nice in theory, but I'm sure I'd get tired of it within 3-4 months. I like seasons.

I found my shared like of British humour and sarcastic outlook of life made it easy to make British friends when I lived there.

Just curious, why outside of us? Trump? Too expensive?

Right where I’m at. I didn’t pick to live here to suffer for a job, but rather picked jobs that were near where I wanted to live.

I would be more likely to change jobs if remote working becomes predominant than I would be to change where I live.
