    German, gotta go with Netherlands.

    Love that we speak a bastardized version of each others languages, which allows us to somewhat reliably hold conversations without needing to use English and the likes.

          No wonder they need to pray so much in the heilige Land… For a cure for their throat issues…

      Shit just works. Feels a lot less bureaucratic than Germany. And more egalitarian.

    Finland. Definitely the most beautiful country in Europe I have ever visited. Warm summers and freezing cold winters. People that accept “hermits” like me. I might have been a Finn in a former life. Also so many gorgeous lakes. Only downside: mosquitoes, these vile creatures own half of the country.

    For me it’s Italy.

    Just the food would be enough, but then there is the weather, the charm of the cities and small towns, the culture… Can’t wait to go back.

            To be honest, it’s not that easy to answer. My parents are from country A, I grew up partly in country B and then country C, I worked in country D, and now I live in Spain.

            Also, giving all of these countries makes it quite easy to doxx me, so I usually avoid that.

    I’m from Germany and I haven’t had the opportunity to travel a lot. So I feel like I don’t know enough about any other European country to make such a decision. Damn I couldn’t even say which is the nicest region to live in Germany.

    But as an European I do appreciate the opportunity to live and work in any EU country and to travel safely and without the need of a passport within the Schengen area. So that’s a good thing.

      Definitely. I have some non-EU colleagues, they envy us a lot for that

    I think I’m the first one to say it, but yes, as an Austrian I pick Germany. Living here since many years now, and a few more to come. It’s not always perfect, but every country has its disadvantages I believe.

    From the mountains of Bavaria to the coastlines in the North, life here is good 😃

    I love the Nordic countries but so far I’ve only visited Denmark and Sweden. I love the people, culture, food, nature there. So Finland, Iceland and Norway are definitely on my bucket list as well. I’m from The Netherlands.
