For those of us who live in the US things are and have been scary and depressing for a while, this seems to also be true about quite a few more countries in the world.

If you are living in a country that you deem safe, well functioning and overall a good country to live in, how do you feel? Do you feel anxious about the current state of the world? Also, what country are you in? (Just in case 🫣)

    Left Germany for Switzerland and while I never really felt unsafe in Germany, it’s so much more relaxed here. And I start to really appreciate direct democracy.

      I can imagine. Switzerland is in many ways in quite a unique, privileged position in Europe. I’ve gotten job offers in Switzerland but personally, I don’t really mesh with its culture. If I ever move away, I think it’ll either be somewhere like The Netherlands, or even a lot further away, like New Zealand or Japan.

        Straya representing. Our brothers and sisters across the ditch in New Zealand have a beautiful country with rich culture and great people. They just keep claiming our pavlova recipe was theirs. mic drop

        Also you’re always welcome here, it’s got large part thats dry and barren in the middle but the tropics and coasts are spectacular like one of the wonders of the world the great barrier reef.
