Ecuador. I used to live in Denmark and paid $1500 a month for substantially less space than I have now for $160 (and the bathroom in my Danish place was terrible). My whole family can live on about 300 to 400 a month here. I cannot even begin to describe how much better I feel being able to live like a semi-retired person. I don't need to worry about going in to a 9-5 anymore, can take interesting projects on as I like, and no idiotic coworkers who try to convince me that 1500 is actually a good price for a shitty little apartment in downtown Copenhagen (cause I guess someone told them it was).
You actually Danish? Or did you move there and then on to Ecuador? Did you learn a new language twice? Just curious whether you were born into it or moved several times for QoL.
No, I'm US, I moved to Europe for QoL, then went to South America for the same. After Trump got elected, I felt pretty vindicated on the decision and have no plans to go back to the US. Also, I didn't learn Danish, it's really hard (3+ years to be any sort of good at it, usually) and you can only speak to 5M people once you learn it anyway. Plus all the educated Danes speak flawless English, they watch our TV from birth. I'm working on Spanish right now since its much easier and you actually need it in SA. If you're giving any thought to it, I stringly recommend moving abroad, even for a short time, you will grow more than you can imagine and get exposed to so much that you just can't get in your home country.
