Spent two weeks on a project in Bucharest, Romania in my mid-20's and was surprised by how awesome it was.

Clean, modern, reasonably priced, cool architecture, gorgeous women, and it was very quiet and calm every night.

Never felt like anyone there was turning their noses up at me for being a dumb American like in some other European countries.

No

I have worked in Spain and Italy and they are really nice countries but after a week or so of being over there I was always ready to head back home.

Wife is from Estonia...so that would be it. We have talked about retiring and moving there one day.
Tallinn is a hidden gem in Europe. Safe, clean, beautiful, and very advanced technology wise.

I want to live in Guernsey

There is zero crime and people do not lock there doors. Hitler liked it so much during the war that he planned to retire there. He even made an underground hospital there.

Czech or Poland.

I'd actually prefer Buenos Aires or Montevideo to Europe rn. Chicas there seem to love my MWC.

Europe is cool as long as you have an American salary or work for a US multinational, other wise your living standards are going to plummet.

The jobs don't pay well, taxes are high, gasoline is twice the price, 20% to 25% VAT on all consumer goods. Living accomodations are pretty drab as far a space and appliances.

If you don't mind reducing your lifestyle it can be a nice change of pace, but it's meager living comparatively.

I lived in Hamburg and Rotterdam for almost 4 years combined after my father left Heidelberg.

The Dutch are weird and dull simultaneously and the Germans don't bathe daily. People always talk about the French and bad hygiene, but the Germans are just as bad if not worse.

If money or work were not an issue then Spain or Portugal would be the move. Both have lack luster economies though if you did need to work.
