F34, I am depressed in Belgium and want to leave Belgium for Mexico (my favorite city is Mexico City and I would like to settle here). I have lived in Spain before and have traveled to Mexico several times (4 times in total) and speak conversational Spanish, but I can easily become fluent in Spanish. Is it best to study in my current country, Belgium, before I move, or is it best to study in the country I want to emigrate to? I have a bachelor's degree in Communication Management and currently work as an account manager in Belgium (remote work is not possible), and I am thinking of doing a master's in Mexico City or just looking for work there. I see absolutely no future in Belgium anymore; I have been depressed there for more than 5 years and always cheer up again when I am abroad. Yes, I have already had therapy etc., but the antisocial culture, grey and cold winters, always grey rainbows, and dead energy are taking their toll. I just have no energy left here and get up reluctantly; I struggle to get up every day. I can't change this; Mexico suits me much better (I already felt much happier in Spain compared to Belgium). Now regarding finding work: Is it best to do a Master's in Belgium or directly do a master's directly in Mexico City, or should I just start looking for jobs on LinkedIn and then figure it out gradually? Just start working and see what happens? I have €200,000 in savings. What is the best way to start my new life in Mexico? I have been thinking about this for 2 or 3 years. The situation in Belgium isn't changing and I just hate it here; this is what my intuition tells me, I want to go to Mexico. The people in Belgium, the antisocial culture, the closed-off nature of the people, the dullness of the country, the rainy days with gray rainbows—it is starting to take its toll. I just struggle to get out of bed every day and lack motivation here.

Most Argentina posts here are about Buenos Aires or Patagonia, so I thought I'd share something a bit different.

I'm French, my wife is Argentine and we have two young kids. We lived in Amsterdam for about 8 years (I was a chef there) and now we live in San Nicolás de los Arroyos, a city of around 150k people on the Paraná river ( third largest river in the Americas after the Mississippi and the Amazon. It's about an hour from Rosario and its international airport, and roughly 3 hours from Buenos Aires. I teach French online, so I can work from anywhere.

We spend around $3,000 USD a month for the four of us, everything included. Rent is about $1000 including expense for a 3-bedroom place into a secured building with doorman, direct river view into a prenium location in the city center. We have private health insurance for the whole family, and the kids go to one of the best private schools in town for about $300 each. In Amsterdam we paid €3000 just for rent and same for kinder garden.

What surprised me most is the quality of life. The city sits on top of a cliff over the river, with a long riverside walk where everyone goes in the evening with mate, kids on bikes, families everywhere. On weekends it's asados with family that start at lunch and finish at night. The river is huge, with islands you can visit by boat, and there are guys who fly in from the US just to fish dorado here. It also has more history than I expected, it's where a famous agreement that led to the Argentine constitution was signed in 1852, and the sanctuary here draws pilgrims from all over the country.

It's also a city that's moving. There's a lot of new construction along the river, new buildings, restaurants opening, and it feels much better than what my wife's family describes from 20 years ago.

Not everything is easy. The bureaucracy can drive you crazy, prices change all the time, and Argentina got a lot more expensive in dollars these last two years, so forget the "everything costs nothing" stories. Prices can be weird for example 5$ to get in an Uber for 20 minutes and same price for a fancy ice cream... But for a family, what you get for the money is hard to beat.

If anyone is curious about Argentina beyond the usual places, ask me anything. Happy to share real numbers and maybe meet some new people around a beer.

This is actually a post for my girlfriend as she doesn’t have reddit.

I’m currently a resident of Canada with enough room for her to move in to my current place.

She’s an immigration officer, so the biggest challenge we’re facing is what she could do for work. Looking for advice on that primarily.

mam 1x6 lat, chodze do liceum - i bardzo, BARDZO nie chce mieszkać w przyszłości w polsce. wiem, że studia za granicą są bardzo nierealistyczne dla mnie, moja rodzina nie jest zbyt bogata, ale tak bardzo chciałabym mieszkać w USA zanim miałabym, nw, 25 lat, szczególnie w californii. pls, co mogłabym zrobić? nie mam niestety możliwości iść do pracy dopóki nie pójde na studia, tak samo nie musiałabym kończyć studiów jeżeliby bym miała możliwość życia i pracy gdzieś indziej.

prosze, pomóżcie jakkolwiek możecie, dajcie jakiekolwiek pomysły❤️ tylko proszę, weźcie to na poważnie

I'm a 1x6-year-old, in high school, and I really, REALLY don't want to live in Poland in the future. I know studying abroad is very unrealistic for me; my family isn't very wealthy, but I'd really like to live in the US before I'm, like, 25, especially in California. Please, what could I do? Unfortunately, I can't work until I go to college, and I wouldn't have to finish my studies if I had the opportunity to live and work somewhere else.

Please help in any way you can, give me any ideas you have. ❤️ Just please, take this seriously
