“I refuse to leave my beloved grandchildren. I’m stuck here unfortunately.”
Same here, plus I’m too old to be adventurous. There is an interesting youtube channel by a guy who calls himself the Nomad Capitalist. He says to go where you are treated best. I don’t necessarily think he picks the best places, but he does give out a lot of info on various countries.
How can an expat ever really count on being “treated best” in a foreign land? I always wonder how these other countries will end up, despite their idyllic settings and welcome. What if the context changes and being a non-native becomes stigmatized?
