Each country in Europe has its own visa, and depending on the visa you might need other visas for other countries if you want to travel around. So the first question is where do you want to go? Do you know other languages than english? (north countries speak English either as first or second language) Oh, don't forget one country is leaving the European Union in the next years (it might impact you). First find a couple of places you want to live in and then search for their visas, doing it the other way is going to be a nightmare as you already know.

Northern Countries would be first on my list and the UK would be interesting to live in for a period of time regarding that whole leaving the EU thing. I've casually been learning German for a while and can get by. Skill building is super important to me and languages are a key component of that.

  I'm not sure this is going to be the good kind of "interesting". Assuming you get the Tier 5 visa you'll be OK while it's valid, but the anti-immigrant rhetoric and proceduralism is pretty high so if anything goes wrong you'll hit the unsympathetic part of the immigration system. Plus the country hasn't decided if it wants to collapse into chaos in March 2019. (A consideration for you whereever you go: what happens if you meet someone and want to have a relationship with them that outlasts your visa?)

    Are you referring to the UK? I could have re-phrased my comment. What I meant to say is that while I think it would hypothetically be interesting to live and work in the UK for a short period of time, perhaps if my options are very limited, given the circumstances I'd not go all in on that as a priority. I spent a very short time in England and Scotland in 2016, had a great time, and had some interesting political discussions ;)

    Regarding the relationship, I can only hope that would happen. At that point, I'd have some different considerations to make. Problems come and problems go.
