where should i buy a house? i haven't even narrowed down the country, yet.
Start with a checklist. Add things like, the kind of weather you would like to experience most of the year, are you more of a coastline kina person or more inland person, does it matter to you that you're near outdoor activates year round or not at all, do you desire to live in a city or a town, what hobbies are you wanting to participate in where you live next, etc, etc.
good idea.
i have a list I've been considering, but you're right that I should write everything down.
i have a lot of contradictions - love theater, live music, and cultural diversity, don't like congested cities. i like warm beaches and snorkeling and generally prefer rainy and cloudy cold weather and need some mountains kind of contradictions. the list is long, but it's a good excuse to live in different places until one clicks.
From what you described, you should check out the Pacific Northwest.
thanks, I like Portland a lot and that's in the running for sure.
i don't know if i want the perpetual rain though since i love riding my ebike around, and i actually haven't been to the Oregon coast. maybe i should head back and do some more live-in research.
I'd go for scandiavia, if I could choose anywhere. Or Island, working for CCP is my dream job.
If proximity to anything else than nature is not a priority, you can get amazing houses in rural Norway dirt cheep.
Costs of living there is another question entirely, of course.
What CCP are you referencing?
EVE is one of the most unique games I've ever seen and I admire it, and CCP in general, from what I've seen in their volunteer programs or from streams, seems like a nice workplace.
Also, Island is cool.
