Help find me a new home
 
Hello everyone,<BR><BR> I'm in a strange (but wonderful) situation where I can live anywhere and do my work as long as I have an internet connection. So, I have been trying to think of the one place that would be PERFECT for me. I really only have three criteria, it has to be Warm, Interesting, and Safe.<BR><BR> I'm from Victoria, BC Canada originally - so some people don't understand why I don't go live back home. It is a beautiful place, and the warmest part of Canada. For me, it's the been there done that kind of thing where it lacks the &quot;interesting&quot; part for me.<BR><BR> I currently live in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil which is definitely warm, and interesting - but not safe. Before here was Scotland, which was safe interesting, but not warm! You see me problem.<BR><BR> If you were in my situation - Where would you live? Any nice places in Europe you would recommend to live for a year or two that are safe, interesting, and warm? (I've already been to Amsterdam and Paris)<BR><BR> On a side note, I set up a site for travelers where they can talk to each other in real time. It's a neat graphical world you can have fun talking to others with similar interests. Definitely worth a look anyways - www.gadgetchat.com . Come by and say hi, I'm in there often.<BR><BR>Thanks in advance for your suggestions - I can't wait to hear your feedback.

How does one go about just up and moving to a country of their choice (legally)? Do you have to be rich or what?

What a stupid half-assed way to advertise your website that you set up. By pretending to have a real issue. This is one reason I'll never log onto your lame website!

xxx you are right this time. The same post is on Latin America board where scott ([email protected] tells us he wants to move there.

Earlier today someone posted about how great this website is - seemed like an advertisement. I guess this just confirms it. Come on - you say you can live anywhere in the world. Most European countries aren't going to allow you to set up residency for 2 or 3 years.

Scott, advertising on this site is not permitted. Take a walk.

Scott may say he's in Brazil but his company is based in Cambridge, MA, where he's worked for years as a code jockey and developer of internet paintball games. <BR><BR>Safe and warm, Scott? How about Havana?
