Hualien, Taiwan. That said, since cannabis has become legal where I live, moving to a place where it isn't has lost a bit of appeal. Of course, this is just a thought experiment because of the state of the world at the moment.
Taipei, Taiwan The most underrated city/country in Asia : - Chill and relax - Awesome people, polite and clean - Best place in the world to work from cafes. Many cafes shops welcome people who works for long hours. They also care about cafe ;) I actually prefer to work from cafes than co-working here - Surrounded by nature, mountain, sea, river are within 45minutes reach. Hundred of trails around Taipei. - Metro / Bu…
My wife and I live in Mexico. She works remotely, I did that for 10+ years, now I'm building my thing and taking some occasional freelance projects. I won't deny there are some horror stories coming from Mexico, but I'm a European and have been living here since 2009. I've never seen or experienced anything even remotely violent. I paid for a mordida once, that's it. I've lived in Mexico City, Estado de México, Verac…
I'm from New Zealand and lived there for 4 years. Same experience. Never saw anything crazy, didn't even know anyone who had. I used to fly up to LA and SF often, and saw crazy shit up there often. Mexico is safer than the US - some will find that unpaletable. Get over it.
This is quite verifiably false?

I work remotely and live in NYC. Honestly, I cannot imagine living anywhere else. Present conditions notwithstanding, I believe New York to be an ideal place to base oneself. The connivence to both everyday needs, world-class food, culture, and yes, employers, is unparalleled. And on top of that, there is perhaps no better place in the US from which to explore the world. People say it's expensive but they act as if y…
Can someone please explain what people mean by "culture"? I'm a working class joe, I can't afford to pay for Broadway tickets regularly. What's the benefit here?
when I talk about "culture" in my city, I am usually referring to how often I will end up at events which broaden my perspectives, simply by tagging along or following the suggestions of friends/acquaintances. For example: wine tastings, art gallery/museum openings, open mic amateur stand up comedy events, [specific thing, e.g. cactus] festivals, and so on. (in my experience many such events are free/inexpensive)
Ideally, anywhere in western Europe. But I'd be happy just to leave Brazil. I hate this country. People like me are so common that they even have a name here: vira-lata.
Is Portugal possible? You already speak the language.
I'm only in Melbourne because the jobs are here. There's not much I particularly like about it, and I don't think I'll ever be able to afford a house. I'd prefer to live somewhere prettier and cheaper. Maybe in Queensland or Tasmania.
What don't you like about Melbourne? I feel it is usually over-hyped.
For the last 3.5 years I've worked 100% remotely- an answer which I'm surprised isn't showing up more is: wherever my parents are. I got to spend my mid to late twenties seeing them daily and I'm fortunate for it every day. My girlfriend and I have an apartment on the other side of town and we were happy with the decision. The only way it could've been more ideal is if we could've gone back to our home country, but b…

The fact that the word starts with 'mordid' somehow made me associate with 'mort' and that was not good :"D thanks for clarifying.
a mistake like that would have me feeling muy embarazada
(for those that do not speak Spanish: embarazada = pregnant)
