Come to Bulgaria - in the south there are mild winters, in the summer - there's a great beachside.

You get some of the fastest internet in Europe for cheap, taxes stand at 10% flat rate, 20% VAT.

Houses in the vicinity of major cities are dirt cheap, compared to your standards (you can probably start off renting for something like 400-500 euro/month).

There're a lot of IT companies, but of course you can't expect the same salaries that you're accustomed to, though if you can land a Germany job that'll let you remote from here - it's a great deal.

Germany is a 1 hour flight away, usually for fairly cheap.



Interesting suggestion. I've been to Sofia once in 2006. The city did not make a very good impression back then, but I am sure, the situation changed a lot. Hopefully to the better. I will definitely look into it, since we do not exclude eastern Europe from our list. Thanks for the suggestion.


Bulgaria is overall best in Europe, but the language is difficult (Cyrillic) and international English schools are very expensive.


You can learn the Cyrillic alphabet in a day. It's other aspects of the language that are difficult.


oOoOO Cyrillic, truly and insurmountable challenge.
