I (17NB) am thinking of emigrating from the UK when I'm older, but I'm unsure of where I would want to go.

If you live in Europe or Oceania (Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, etc.), what are the good and bad things about life in your country?

South Italian here! Italy is an amazing country to live in, mainly for the food, history, architecture etc

The good: History, regional cultures, food, architecture, lifestyle

The bad: Declining job market, stagnant ass economy, lack of economic opportunities (especially in the
south), aging population, extremely unstable political scene, taxes, extremely culturally/politically/socially divided society, racism and hate towards lgbtq+ people, bad public transport in the south

I still think that it's worth it to move to Italy but before doing anything secure yourself a job and somewhere to move in

Racism and hate towards lgbtq+ are very different and come in different flavors based on where you are

Ask anything if you want me to be more specific
