Ask HN: 30s single man, which city should I move to?

  • Somewhere in Southeast Asia like Bangkok? If you can handle the weather, living there is fun, convenient, cheap, and exciting for at least a while. Also good access to beaches and islands.

  • As an American, I would remark that in most of the US you won't have to adapt too much to the culture. I think that much of the northern Midwest is congenial, and mostly not too expensive.

  • If I was American I'd be so appreciative of how far I can go without leaving the country. Do I hate life in New York City? Check this baggage, I'm going to Guam!

  • Wherever you end up brother avoid Florida. It may look tempting with no tax laws and the weather but hobbies and dating scene wise its pretty dull .

  • Barcelona, I'd say. Foreign-friendly, ok tech culture, lots to do, plenty of cultural activities, great summers (if you can stand the tourists).

    You'd have to learn at least spanish though, and ideally basic catalan: it's an internacional city and lots of people try to get away with speaking only english, but this is frowned upon as a lack of interest in local culture.

  • Maybe a smaller college town near a city. That can be cheap, have a tech scene, entertainment, etc.

  • The Nomad List city guide may be a good starting point to compare cities, get inspired, read reviews, etc. -- https://nomadlist.com/

  • New York City. You should find what you are looking for.

  • If you want to experience an entirely new culture you can try Japan or Taiwan. BYO remote job and you will have the best of both worlds.

  • Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

    Good quality of life, yet relatively cheap. You can totally get by with English.

    Congrats on being able to move anywhere you want.

  • What do you value most?

    Are you looking for a dating scene? LTR or just a playboy?

  • Cape Town, South Africa.

  • Somewhere safe, jobs, things to do, good economy. Dallas maybe.

  • Lisbon, great weather and food, big tech/nomad community

  • méxico city for sure.

  • hawaii.
