I am wondering some thoughts on this. (US)
We’ve lived in this house for 6 years. It’s a great place, but we always figured we’d probably move again at some point. Now, we have a decent amount of stuff (mostly due to my 1000’s of hobbies, we like to do a lot of shit because life should be fun) so I really hate moving.
My thought is-hey, if we end up moving, lets just move really far away. Most of our families will be gone in a few years and there’s not really a reason to stay here. I could probably give up a lot of my large items if it meant moving to a really interesting new country (thinking one of the Nordic countries, my grandparents were from there). Still, it would probably be 6 years before we would actually move.
Just wondering how crazy this really is. I think my SO feels like it’s a joke when I bring it up.


I made the move to the Netherlands with my family last year. Definitely worth it.
We downsized from a 1400 sq ft house to a 75 m² apartment. We’ve made it work and we’re pretty happy about it, with some caveats about what we want our next place to have.
Getting a visa will be your hardest problem. Countries don’t just let people in for funsies, you have to have a visa path.
