I live in a bigger city but I’m currently residing in a cabin in the woods, away from civilization. It has got a fire place going, some basic stuff and lots of board games etc. It also has a nice garden thing where you can just chill out for a bit. There’s beautiful woods surrounding it where you can walk.
I like living in the city, with all its chaos. But whenever I’m out in nature I feel this immense rest coming over me. I don’t know if I can actually live here, but for now it’s good. My gf’s family is talking about buying property in rural Sweden and they want to build a house there, one where the kids can always visit. I like the idea of living a rural simple life. Can’t leave the city now though, with all the activism going on. Bit harder to radicalize the deers in the woods.
Sounds like you should live in the south of Belgium. Small, cosy villages. Good food and drinks, great pubs. And socialist as fuck. Like, the south doesn’t have a party in charge that’s further right than centrist. It could be done.
That sounds like a dream!
How hard is it to move there? Are work visas easy to come by?
For Europeans it is easy. . For USonians also, I think. If you get a NATO job it’s easier as the HQ is here. I think for Westerners it would be pretty easy.
That’s good to know. I would like to travel. I can take sabbaticals if I time them right, but it’s finding the right destination. The South of Belgium has moved quite high up my list!
