Anyone enjoyed a place so much as a tourist they decided to move there?
For me it was Barcelona.
Travelled around all Europe and parts of every other continent (barring Antarctica, if that counts).
Visited places with amazing scenery, places with incredibly cheap cost of living, beautiful women, but eventually settled on here as the perfect middle ground for quality of life, weather, income, lifestyle and everything else.
I loved coming here so much as a tourist, I decided to pack my bags, leave my parents basement and make a living in BCN. Don’t see myself returning anytime soon.
Anyone else had a similar experience?

yes, a lot of people have had that experience. some regret it. Needless to say, living in a city is quite different from visiting it. In any case, from your vague description it seems you're already on the train to Catalonia, so good luck.
Yes. Grew up in denmark but after going to nYC it was my dream to move there. I did so in 2021. Best decision of my life.
seriously? why?
Not him but you really can't comprehend why? Kek
born and raised in small town america. i would put a bullet in my brain before i moved to nyc. cant fathom how so many people love that city
>NYC
It’s the literal uni moronic home of globohomosexual and o know so many people irl who absolutely love it and go there for weeks at a time
idg
although they probably think my euro nature trips are lane and moronic
It’s le big apple teehee, mostly normalgays that like to chitchat with ither normalgays. So when they feel that there’s a large herd, they love it. It’s like why normies love it when a place gets ruined by overtourism. They simply love crowds.
Have you considered that you might just be too low iq... Notice you are on the same side of the fence as this anon
. That can't be good right.
The simple answer of why people like New York is because there is a buzz which almost no other city in the world has. There is always stuff going on and at any moment literally anything can happen which is very exciting. Not to mention it is the culture capital of the western hemisphere.
>why people like New York is because there is a buzz which almost no other city in the world has
any random asian city is at least as dynamic as nyc and at least ten times cheaper.
LOL. As much as I hate being cooped up in New York, there is no city on earth that's more dynamic. It's the center of the world dude.
>It's the center of the world dude.
lmao imagine really thinking this
I was born here in NYC but could never bring myself to spend my own money on a place there. My siblings just can't get enough of it and cheerfully pay $4500 for a 1bd in central park west or a 2bd in Williamsburg. I just ride the train back 1hr to my beautiful colonial north of the city surrounded by trees for $2500 to the mortgage israelite. I see both sides of the coin. As a city NYC is objectively a shit hole dumpster fire of failing infrastructure, apathetic incompetent fat hispanic cops who stand idly by while crackheads scream in my face that they're going to kill me in midtown Manhattan, oppressive taxes, and awful transit options. People who love NYC so much must never have been to Singapore or Tokyo or anywhere else where things actually run on time, people feel safe, and insane people aren't just left to roam the streets and assault people. And to think you pay $4-5k a month for the privilege
On the other hand, if you get off of Manhattan and go further afield in Brooklyn or Queens you can actually find pretty much any variety of food, entertainment, nightlife or social scene in the world bar-none, and you can get an OK deal if you know how. For people that love NYC it's like a sport to constantly search out the places that are good, cheap, and relatively quiet before the word gets out and it invariably becomes mobbed until they jack up prices, then inevitably go under after the hype wears off and they've forgotten how to run a lean business. If you're a creature of habit that likes to become a regular anywhere you'll fricking hate NYC because every cozy chill place you fall in love with will follow this cycle. If you're a turbo ADD mfer who always needs to seek out something new you'll love it. The only other case for NYC is if you liked an obscure band in the 2000s and they decide to do a reunion tour, you're SOL if you live in Ohio. You can almost guarantee that any band doing a US tour will come to NYC, so that's cool I guess.
If you like city life at all, New York is indisputably the best city in the U.S. Only a handful of other cities even come close but they all have major drawbacks. So it just really is that simple. If you like the city, you’ll like New York.
How did you move there? Immigration to the US (legally, for white people) is a nightmare. I've been signed up in the H-1B lottery every year for the last three years and still haven't been selected. Millions of pajeets are overwhelming the system and screwing it up for everyone else.

Bristol.
>Travelled around all Europe and parts of every other continent (barring Antarctica, if that counts).
Antarctica does count, anon. Visit it so that you get the TRUE ending when you complete the game.
What's your job? I can't imagine anyone being happy with Barcelona from the ridiculous prices of everything marked up 300%-500%. The people there are moronic, everyone's rude, they hate people asking them for help and half ass everything they do.
It's ok as a tourist spot, i just don't see myself living there willingly.
This. I spent 4 days in Barcelona and never need to go back. The locals were c**ts. Spanish food sucks. Expensive and overrated beyond a 3-4 day trip to see the sights.
This. Why do americans get so offended when you say that barcelona/spain sucks??
I saw some other cities in Spain and mostly enjoyed it. Barcelona wasn’t for me tho. History and architecture was cool. Lots of pretty girls. Besides that Barcelona is extremely overrated.
Spain is kino country, BCN is a fricking overrated cosmopolitan shithole. Valencia, Madrid, Sevilla all mog
>Spanish food sucks
wrong
+1. Barcelona is overcrowded with tourists, overpriced, has a serious theft problem and the rest of the country is better, you can't deny that the food is fantastic. I ate some fricking flawless meals in Barcelona. You just have to be willing shell out the money for a good meal.
>uncured ham
>soft cheese
>fish
>bread with oil
wow amazing
Seriously "spanish" food is incredibly overrated.
They're extremely proud of what amounts to a piece of squid on bread with oil on it. Wow.
I really think their cuisine is intended to go along with cigarettes and alcohol more than eaten by itself. Their national dishes are extremely mid, rice with some shit in it, wow, especially for how much they gloat about it.
Italians have everything far superior to Spanish. Any dish you will find in Spain, there exists a superior version of it in Italy. But you will never encounter the opposite. Spain is like a poor-man's version of Italy culturally speaking and the people in general just give off a bigger gypsy vibe than Italians. Even their neighbours Portuguese are much more tolerable.
How did you just abruptly move there? Got any arvice for a fellow NEET?
Yeah the Philippines. Nowhere else in the world I ever visited has such plentiful, cheap and easy access to women with such relaxed culture towards birth control and condom use.
I'm a hard-core sex addict but working my ass off to afford chasing tail in the west was killing me. I can have that lifestyle for 1/10th the cost in PH.
Everybody in the country is an irresponsible moron, so I fit right in.
that sounds like the dream. is it really that easy. I am not virgin and have done well in u.s but shit is expensive here and women are fat. How much are you spending per month, do you have a job.
Pics of pinay wifeys?
How does that compare with Thailand?
Unironically the last line.
If you are a repressed, high IQ autist virgin, flip chicks won't give you the time of day. But if you are young and dumb and funny, they'll be all over you.
Very different. Cooming is an organized business in Thailand, but in the Philippines it's a pastime for bored pinays.
>Very different. Cooming is an organized business in Thailand, but in the Philippines it's a pastime for bored pinays.
What about "normal" thai girls that aren't prostitutes?
>If you are a repressed, high IQ autist virgin, flip chicks won't give you the time of day. But if you are young and dumb and funny, they'll be all over you.
Is this a joke? boomer niglets have women in flip kek.

New Orleans.
Southern comfort, Whiskey/bourbon in excess, good music, night life pretty much year round, and good food. It's a cozy city for an American city, coming from Kansas City, I couldn't imagine going back.
I work a government job and get pretty decent quality of life for LA, and as far as joggers are concerned, just use two braincells and don't bother them.
For the humidity, I tend to travel up back home in Iowa for the dogdays since I have 4 day weekends. It really is rough here when it's hot, but it peaks for a month at most before getting cozy again.
Santa Monica
I was in Barcelona for a semester via Erasmus
Had a blast but I was 19. Wouldn’t want to live there as an actual adult although the odd trip back for nostalgia is nice
>but eventually settled on here as the perfect middle ground for quality of life, weather, income
what the frick are you on about? barcelona is absolutely overpriced and miserable, and cucktalans are insufferable c**ts
I fricking hate everyone that gets to “move” to the country they fell in love with while I have to rot in America for 1-2 years at a time before I can go back to Thailand. All because I’m not some dork homosexual and instead of learning moronic coding homosexualry during my youth I actually enjoyed my life, partied, and got pussy
Frick all you mother fricking dork homosexuals. “Only” 144 frickint days to go! I started this fricking countdown at 484 days
That's because those who partied and got laid during their adolescence usually have 0 interest in Thailand
I have minimal interest in Thailand. Asian women do nothing for me and I don’t use drugs. Seems like a chill place to sit on the beach, eat good food and bullshit with locals tho
You get what you deserve.
Been wondering about this as well. Went to Japan with my gf for a month a couple years ago and I just fell in love with the country, though my girl isn't feeling the same. I since have picked up on learning the Japanese kitchen and language (though I already was jouzu before going xD). I'm just wondering how different my life would be I were to go there for a longer time
Japan, but not as a tourist but as a student. I had a really great year as an exchange student, so I found a job here and moved back.
yes I moved to latin america, went there intially just to coom but fell in love with the climate, wildlife, cost of living, food and yes the girls
Which country did you move to? Any issues/concerns with crime and fitting in?
Hey, I'm just planign a trip to Barcelona now (thinking of going at the beging of 5th).
Alredy made a map of places to see.
What places near Barecelona would you reccomend?
Aslo, I hear the Red District there is great. I have visited several countries, but never hired prostitutes. If they are as prety as I hear, I might as well try.
If your a little b***h that is afraid of black people that is your problem but most people get on fine with them
no, they dont.
I have never met more annoying people than Catalans. Pretentious, self-aggrandizing idiots. Nobody gives a shit about your little shithole yet they act like Catalonia was some kind of cultural superpower for hundreds of years. At the same time while they want you to respect their shit identity they manage to be completely ignorant and disinterested about anything outside of their little shithole. In foreign countries they continue to act like self-aggrandizing c**ts (although this goes for Spanish people in general, Catalans are just the worst about this) with their favourite combination of both being a victim and superior at the same time. Their shit indebted football club is a nice representation with the bullshit tiki taka kaka, the annoying fanbase, that flaming homosexual Guardiola and the combination of considering themselves as something special and superior yet constantly crying and whining. Frick Barcelona and frick its people.
How did you move
