Hi everyone, So here is my [M 26] situation.

I’m from Paris and I’ve be willing to relocate to another European country. They are many reasons, but the main one is that I can’t stand the atmosphere here in France.

I’ve travelled all around Europe to choose a new country, and there are four destinations I seriously consider, but I would need help from locals or expats to give me pro/cons for all of these countries.

So could some of you give me exemple of both positive and negative experience in these countries ? I’m only taking about events/social habits that are frequents. Not about extremely rare experience that happens with a likelyhood of 1 over 2 billions.

Thanks !

    I know it’s not in the list of countries you mentioned, but have you considered Romania? As a French speaker, it will be much easier to learn the language, and the country is similar to the countries you mentioned in your list.

      I only have heard good opinions about Romania, and I have a personal good opinion about Romanians. However, considering that they’re not part of the Shengen area, I was scared that it would be a nightmare to get a visa.
      That’s what I’m affraid of.

        Romania is part of the EU so staying there should not be a problem. Also, Romanian being a Latin language, will be much easier to learn for a French speaker.

        Romanians come across as very friendly and down to earth and their country has changed for the better in last ten years or so. Nature wise, a very beautiful country. Affordable. That being said if you’re going to earn local wage, then salaries are low compared to Finland or Western Europe.

        If you want peace and calmness the the Baltic countries and Finland are your best bet. If you want better weather and “lively” people and culture, then Romania would be more suitable.

        Have you considered Reunion Island? Still part of France but tropical and amazingly beautiful but expensive.
