Ask HN: How did you decide where to live?

3 points by insta_anon ↗ HN
Where are you currently living, what were the reasons for moving there and what are the pros / cons?

Also say you work remotely, are self-employed / working on a new idea or are (financially) retired and could live anywhere on this beautiful planet, where would you go?

The last 8 years I lived in Berlin, Germany as I got a job here and I am German. It has been a great time however I plan to leave Berlin and Germany next year to hopefully move to Australia. I really liked the time here in Berlin, however it is getting more and more expensive (especially rent), and more and more crowded. I also really dislike the weather and have the feeling that Germany in general is moving towards a suboptimal direction, therefore I am looking for new inspiration.

If anyone is living in or around Brisbane (especially Gold Coast), I'd love to hear your opinion about moving there as a self-employed tech worker / startup founder!

I work remotely currently from Buenos Aires, Argentina, South America and the reasons are:

- cheap with good life quality

- great night life and Argentinians amazing people to interact

- Best meat and best wine

I'm from Brazil and Portuguese <-> Spanish is not that difficult, at least to be able to communicate so currently I speak a "bad" fluent spanish.
