[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Yes I'll be working, my job can be done anywhere and it's not difficult to get a visa. I want to be able to date but also I just want to experience something different that my small down suburban life I've been living for the last 30+ decades.

My actual options are

UK London , Yorkshire, and Glasgow.

Paris, France

Madrid, Spain

Aukland, New Zealand

Rome, Italy

Accra, Ghana[/quote]

These are amazing options. But offer such different experiences. I mean Paris/Madrid/Rome are going to be pretty similar, but otherwise a lot of diversity here.

Of Paris/Madrid/Rome, I'd pick Paris or Madrid. I love Italy but Rome gets old quicker than you think -- Italians are very family oriented and dating there can feel very claustrophobic. Do you speak French or Spanish? I'd pick the one I had the best language skills for, or that I was most interested in learning.

Of the UK options I'd personally pick Glasgow, even though I've always wanted to live in London. Glasgow is a more approachable/livable city, but still big enough to have plenty of expats and be welcoming to outsiders. I can't speak to Yorkshire. London is great but just insanely expensive and I would not want to be there longterm unless I was rich (like rich, rich, not just well off -- it's worse than NYC in terms of cost of living).

Aukland if you want an adventure in English that won't push you too far out of your comfort zone.

Accra if you want a true fish out of water experience that could truly change your life. I think I might be pulling for Accra, actually. I don't know if you will find love or relationships there, but I think it would offer the most in terms of broadening your horizons and changing your perspective, which is what I would personally look for in this experience.[/quote]

Madrid is the best choice overall in that list if you are middle class/UMc but it also lacks that extra something that Rome has.

Paris is ok — Lyon is a much better choice in France. Parisian life starts to grate on you without serious money. Which arrondisment can you afford?

[b]UK not worth it at all unless you work in: football, f1, or fintech. It’s really rapidly going backwards as a nation. [/b]

For me, Rome would be by far the clear choice. The QoL issues it fails vs Madrid are more than compensated by just being a straight up more interesting place to live.

Can you clarify this? I am not OP but considering moving to England as well and would be very genuinely curious to hear more of an explanation [/quote]
