@cell self-selection, if you're the type of person to move to murica you'll probably like it

I bet the sources and destinations are not same in all cases either

@eal humuhumu
i suppose this is the default to most people i say this to but you seem to be happy to be in your country of origin (ebinland) :cat_thumbs_up:

@cell Don't reveal it to everyone like that!

But yes, I have family and friends here, finns are the people who I feel I belong among, I'm free to touch grass/roam innawoods and it's possible year-round, I have a stable job, life is decent (not always great but where would it be.)

on the bad side it's cold also dark for a large chunk of the year (mostly the dark), everything is expensive, state is autistic nanny somewhat, food is not great (very brief windows of in-season vegetables, people generally see food as fuel culturally)

I've never lived abroad but rest of family did for a while and from those visits I gather that I'd need a good reason to move elsewhere, at least would not go to same place
