On top of a job that is truly remote, I am also waiting on my wife to trust that we could live there safely. That day may never come, despite anything I say.
I live in Cambridge and its perfect for my needs, for now. Small university town, everything at bikeable distance, cosmopolitan: if I want to meet a person from any country or experience their cuisine, eveything is available here. London is just an hour away by train. And companies like Microsoft, Apple and IBM have their offices here. The only problem is that in UK its extremely hard to get a sense of community and…
Shame it's so astronomically expensive. I don't think I could ever afford a nice family house there. Don't really understand where all the lecturers and tech workers live.
I did the nomad thing for a couple years and loved it, but I sort of got it out of my system. The lifestyle can be lonely. And at this point in my life I'd rather cultivate a life of my own instead of running around enjoying little bits of life elsewhere. Not that I wouldn't take advantage of the ability to travel much more freely!
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 a…
Deepest darkest corner of New Zealand, as long as it has an internet connection. Starlink can't come fast enough.
I can't imagine wanting to use satellite internet as my daily driver. A quick search says that the physical limit for latency is around 500ms? That's unplayable for most video games, and would make things like SSH'ing to a server pretty annoying. But I imagine you'd probably go there to get away from things, and just rely on internet when absolutely needed.
Several spots in British Columbia, Canada come to mind. Other possibilities include the Netherlands, maybe New Zealand.
I've been a slow nomad over the last 15 years or so, with stints in Nevada, SoCal, Texas and the Pacific Northwest.
Although I'm settled down now, someday I'd like to have a couple places in different countries or locales and be able to work from either one.

You let your kids interact with "fiends"? (Sorry, I just had to do it.)
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I live in Montevideo, Uruguay and i’m really interested on why would you like to live here? I was born here and think it’s a nice little place but would like to have the perspective from someone from the “outside”.
How is it living there? I'm from Buenos Aires, but I'm seriously thinking of leaving. Being close and much freer Uruguay is a natural choice, but I'm not entirely sure. Would you recommend emigrating to Montevideo?

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