I currently live in California, but it's literally impossible to afford to buy a house.

Where are some good places to move to? I was thinking about Washington State, but I'm not sure I could handle the snow.

What's your issue with snow?

I've never lived in it, so I wouldn't want to be a menace on the icy roads

You'll get used to them. Just remember to check if your tire profile is deep enough (4 mm), and slow down before curves + start accelerating halfway through them. And obviously keep more distance than usual.

Oh and always carry chains. Putting them on the tires isn't too hard, but try it once before (when your hands aren't cold and you aren't stressed). Most of the time you won't need them but when you do need them you really do.

I would recommend somewhere in Europe. You will have paid vacation and heathcare insurance and (almost) free school and … :)

WE AREN'T INVITED

It's so frustrating hearing Europeans tell Americans to move there. As if we could just up and run and get visas and jobs. Trust me, if it were easy, I would have done it. I've moved across the pale blue dot multiple times and never found an avenue into the EU.

Do you have any idea how difficult immigration is? Maybe you've been listening to the Islamaphobes too much.... another great reason not to move to Europe btw, what if you're the wrong color... they have a very different brand of bigotry out there

It depends on the person, but some countries like Austria have points-based systems that will work for some people. It's how I'm getting a visa currently and I just needed a job offer.

Or you can go hard-mode and take the Svalbard route!
