I live in Istanbul and I hate it here.I want to live in USA in the future
 
USA. It's not terrible. A lot of places are much worse off. But the familiarity gets to me and makes me feel like I'm in a loop of stagnation. Same language, same mentality, same behavior. I feel like the US isolates itself from the rest of the world and makes you feel like only the US exists. And then you travel outside the US and you're like "shit! There are other things going on here!"
 
Bulgaria. Like it very much here, do not want to live anywhere else. However like to travel to other countries as a tourist.

When is the sea warm enough to swim off the coast of Sunny Beach? I want to go, take my laptop and work on the beach.

If is not unusual warm spring, beginning of June till late September is good. This year probably the beginning of May as now is 20 Celsius from like a week, tomorrow 24 - people are wearing t-shirts and shorts already.
 
i live in the southern part of Russia, near the sea (30 m close to the beach). Chose this place due to the mild climate, sea and mountains.
but it is Russia anyway....
Going to relocate to Cancun (Mex) or Fortaleza (Br) when i'll update my passport.
 
I think everyone love there home country but if you switch to it then you will not be comfortable at first later you will get used it.
I myself am fine in any country where is more security and where there crime rate is low

I have to disagree with you about familiarity & sameness in USA.

I'm from NYC, you know the capital of the world and I live in Brooklyn the biggest borough and for many years worked in Manhattan which is worlds Financial Capital. Big difference in speed of life (you ever hear of living a NY minute?), variety and mentality of people. Being outside of Manhattan you can feel slower pace of life, more quiet, less people, more green and open spaces. As you travel out further it opens up even more. Business & other things took me to many big cities around the USA & many small ones too. I've been to Wall, South Dakota population 876 & Babb, Montana population 174 and Chicken, Alaska summer population ~35 and all are completely different kind of places, with different people, mentalities. I've been to over 20 US National Parks and they're all completely different and not familiar in any way.

Sadly it sounds like you've been stuck in your own little bubble and didn't get to explore & experience what USA has to offer. There just way too many things to do and see to call it too familiar.

Living in large city has its pros & cons. If you work you can earn higher income but it also comes with higher expenses. Living in smaller city has less income potential, less cost but less things to do.
 
living in ASIA and is not a bad place if everything done right - a simple planned environment is far better than happy place.

Agreed, people forget yes its the USA that we all know maybe, but its HUGE.
50 states each the size of EU countries easily, with varied culture and ways of life.

Im on Long Island, like it, NYC is right there but I have a yard and not packed with the filthy streets lol, was in Brooklyn for a few years, Jersey City, NY in general just gets you strong, you hustle hard. Everyone just moves, talks, thinks faster, its nice to visit other areas that are slow though.

Ryan Hamilton the comedian has a great routine where he says NYers just walk into any other town and "hi guys, Im here to solve your problems, Im in charge now, dont worry Im a NYer Im better than you" lol its hilarious and true about how we think.

I gotta check out Ryan Hamilton and agree being in NYC & vicinity turns you into a good hustler ;)
 
Hello all!

I live in Kyiv, Ukraine and it's really awful here. I want to move to Europe, but it seems like something impossible for me.
 
The grass is always greener on the other side. I live in the UK, it's good for some things, not good for others. Just like anywhere.
