Assume the next trip you go on will be the last traveling you ever take part in. It's a one-way ticket to somewhere new.
Assuming you knew this, and that you'll be stuck there indefinitely, where would you want to be?
You'll be up and moving you, your family, your social life, career, dogs, cats, and potentially many other aspects of your life. Where will you find the "smoothest" transition, and the greatest ROI for yourself, given your new circumstances? Where would you be most excited to take on life from?
Or would you rather stay put right where you are now? Why? Are you happy where you've landed?
My wife and I are basically trying to answer this question right now. I can mostly do my job remotely, so the world is our oyster. We've more or less narrowed it down to lake and mountain towns in the American Midwest or South.
Why there?
🤣🤣
It's the only reason I'm allowing Arkansas to be in consideration.
I loved driving through Arkansas. It is beautiful. My wife wanted to buy a house there so we could be close to her family in Texas but not too close.
Was that in northern Arkansas? That's the area we're looking into now.
No, we drove from Memphis straight through Arkansas into north east Texas. So that would have been more central and southern part of Arkansas. Stopped in Benton for a bite to eat.
I was about to insult your sense of geography, but then I realized Arkansas has both a Benton and a Bentonville.
This confused me as well at first. When we stopped in Benton I was telling my wife "this is where Walmart is headquartered and where the first store was". Then I had to correct myself 5 minutes later when I realized it was actually bentonville. On the bright side, I don't think she was paying attention to my rambling anyways.
If you want to move to the communist republic of Canada my neighbour is selling her house. We have the lake and mountain town (ski resort- close enough). We have the following on your list:
Natural beauty
Lots of stuff for kids to do
Good private schools (depend what you consider affordable)
You can get a house with a decent yard for under 1M (what a steal)
Driving distance to the beach
Very inconvenient- need a passport, flight and a 2 hours drive.
Pass. If we wanted to live in the frozen north we would move back to where we came from.
Ok but you are missing out. Next year we get FREEEEEEEEEE dental care.
I think we already have free dental, in the sense that my employer is required by law to pay for it out of what would otherwise be my paycheck.
Yes, most people have dental coverage through their employment benefit plan here as well but they are adding a national dental care program for those not covered. Under a certain income, not sure exactly what it is.
Tennessee for you! Beach is a long drive, but long weekendable.
It's under consideration. We took an excursion to Clarksville, but it didn't quite grab us. If NE Tennessee housing comes down in price a bit, we'll look around there a bit more intensively.
The market is starting to soften a bit. Check out the Upper Cumberland region later in 2024.
Will do. Thanks
Nice last bullet point xD those are the perks we dont talk about enough
Colombia. I lived there for 3 months this year with @benwehrman and met some amazing bitcoiners and entrepreneurs. The women are beautiful, the views are spectacular, and medellin has gotten safer ( if you keep your head about you).
Will totally go back.
I'm actually about to move there. Not to Medellin though, waaay too hot and humid for me.
And I feel completely safe there. Okay, I once had my phone stolen from my bag, but I only ever go out with a second phone. The one from my original country that has all apps and passwords stays home.
i am going to go back in february or march of this year.
please reach out to connect with me on nostr or twitter! there's also a bitcoiner telegram group for medellin you should join
done! thanks :)
Had a friend who was just about to move out there...but backed out last minute!!
I'd be tempted to move to a region with at least two other countries nearby.
Why is this? In case you need a way out?
ha yeah.
understandable lol, esp given rising tensions
I can't pinpoint a specific location, but it would have to be somewhere with year-round heat, a beach and mountains. And of course, be able to spend bitcoin.
Many places fit that bill. I'd like the same, except I do enjoy the colder months! Builds an appreciation for the hot ones lol.
That's what the mountains are for. Winter weather you can escape with a three hour drive!
You raise good points.
Thank you
I will go to rural areas because urban areas are to polluted in both the air and sound
You can literaly feel the lack of fresh air being near a big city
Canada, or New Zealand, or Switzerland.
I want to see mountains again Gandalf, Mountains!
Alaska has mountains and it's not an authoritarian hellscape. That wasn't aimed at you Switzerland.
New Zealand....such a beautiful country...such a shame its government is so ugly
Prior to their Covid hysteria, we would occasionally think about moving there.
My family and I lived there for a year (prior to covid) and loved it, but wouldn't consider it again.
Haha! But it is run by sleepy Joe and that doesn't stack into the pro column for it.
Switzerland seems like the best of the bunch so far. Lauterbrunnen just looks like the most incredible place to live.
Maybe I'd go to the Azores or Canary Islands.
Great scenery and good weather.
I would a build house on a different part of the ranch I live on here in a mountainous area of Mexico.
I have in mind the perfect place and I'm planning to spend the rest of my life there, but being an introvert lonesome person, I won't tell anyone, except my wife and my kids.
What's in this place to make you move there?
Nice try, FBI!
Lol, joking... warm weather, fresh air, nature, kind people, Internet access and an airport not too far.
respect, i feel the same lol
Moving to another place is not the way.
You are making the lovely place where YOU want to live, not where others are forcing you to live.
This is how you are in control of your surroundings and not the way around... just think about.
Time and place are just an illusion, live your life in the moment.

Give me a white sandy beach, a hammock between palm trees, and a non-alcoholic piña colada with a tiny umbrella. I'll barter fish for coconuts, invent a currency based on seashells (feels like we've been here before), and declare my own independent sovereign - "Baptopia." No taxes or laws, just endless sunshine and the occasional philosophical chat with a wise old man and a parrot. The family can learn to surf, my dogs can chase hermit crabs, and my S19s can finally perfect their sunbathing technique.
I would love to move onchain so that all movement are verifiable
Probs Bali
Where I live. If I wanted to move I would have already. My wife and I have two young boys and a small suburban almost rural community we love.
Makes me happy to hear that! Sounds like a perfect setup you got
San Pedro Alcantara, Spain
El Salvador. Simply because it's the first adopter of Bitcoin it will have a huge advantage over everyone else in the future. Doesn't matter how poor it is right now.
seeing what el salvador's doing's got me basically shitcoining -- "okay, where's the NEXT country to pop off??" Lol
The past
You have already sent yourself back in time to re-live this time period. Unfortunately, your memories were reset, so you don't remember why you went back in time. This is your only chance to figure out what you need to fix, and to do it right this time.
The past is an illusion, create a better present now!
