I moved back to my home country from the USA. So glad I did. We're on the up and up and see no fascism in sight. We're getting plenty of gentrification driving up prices and displacing our locals, though... π

Our familiy (2 parents and us 4 kids) moved from Russia to France. None of us spoke French. Worth it every second
Trying to learn a FSI category 5 language when you don't have a dedicated language class is an ongoing and frustrating experience, but the cost of living is low, the countryside is peaceful, and going back to the states right now seems crazy.

I canβt find category 5 languages following that link
Oops, typo--I meant cat 4. I live in rural Japan.
EU free movement and hell yes. It's so good I emigrated twice.
Well I moved to Berlin at the end of last month. I lived in a "developing country" with a declining economy and a far right dictator that is technically chosen but everyone knows he steals votes and everything. Soo especially as a queer person studying aboard as an international student and not coming back was always the end goal.
What gave you the opportunity to move?
Well winning one of those schools that roll you through international curriculums like Matura, Abitur or IB instead of the national one through the transfer from middle school to high school and doing their exams in the end of high school instead of the national one to get to enroll abroad
You left the US? Good on you.
Turkey It is like US but more backwards and poor
