I know I left the question very broad. At the moment, I'm researching my options of where to go. I'm not tied to a specific location like Europe or Asia or more specific: working in Madrid vs. working in Tokyo vs. working in Santiago vs. working in Vancouver. Each of these locales have their pluses and minuses.
I can consult numerous guides on living abroad in all kinds of locales as well as read various blogs on this topic.
I am more curious about how the HN community members made it work for them, independent of their locale.
As for "every country would be a different answer", why not have every country listed here?
- eru 16y agoTo define what abroad means to you: Where are you coming from?
- misham 16y agoI'm in the US and abroad means anything outside USA, including Canada and Mexico.
- willheim 16y agoLiving in Canada is not living abroad... unless you're Michael Arrington (judging from last nights post even if it was tongue in cheek). Scratch that... maybe living in Quebec City could qualify. Ha!
- misham 16y agoI haven't visit Vancouver, but I've been to Quebec City and Montreal. I imagine Vancouver to be very different from Quebec, just like LA is different from Boston or New York (some would argue including the language), however, in US we're Americans and thus certain cultural aspects hold true. Living in Canada would be different from living in US, maybe not from the language perspective, but definitely from a cultural perspective. I am basing this on my own assumptions, which could be quite wrong, please correct me if I'm making the wrong assumptions.
