Excellent article. I am still at the research stage. I have yet to decide where I want to live. For me, it's Europe as I live in the UK. And I want to live in a warmer, sunnier climate. The winters in the UK are grey, wet and cold. I have already found books and many YouTube videos to help me. And I have already thought about most things you discuss in the article, but there were a few I hadn't considered. So it was a useful read.
