I’m 21 years old. I would rather not specify where I live, as it always gets political when I do. I want to leave my country due to the bad income - cost of housing ratio.
I’ve never lived in Europe, but I am an EU citizen (Polish) through heritage, so I want to move to an EU country. I speak English and another language, which I will not specify, as it is only used in my country. I’m willing to learn a language, on the condition that I will be able to get around in the country while learning it. Though I’ll only learn a language if it would actually be better than moving to an English speaking country.
My budget is the equivalent of 50,000€ in my country’s currency (earned by serving in the military). I don’t have a degree, but I might study after I move.
I’m looking for a country with a high quality of life and a decent income - cost of housing ratio. It seems to me that Ireland is my best option (even though they drive on the left).
What country do you recommend I move to?
Hi OP, my husband is from the same country as you and we live as expats in Scandinavia, after a few years in Vienna. I recommend Vienna as an expat country, the residents are 42% not born in Austria so a lively international community, while the diaspora of your country is alive and active, so you can participate in typical celebrations etc. that the mainstream society does not celebrate. It is also warmer than Scandinavia with shorter winters (which I know is challenging for warm country people). German is easier to learn than rumors say, and once you speak it, you can move freely between Austria, Germany and Switzerland. Hope this helps:)
