Is Portugal still a good place for digital nomads in Europe?

I saw the prices on nomadlist, and they are pretty big, and was wondering how many of you are there? Thanks Tom

I've given up on Europe. Asia probably the best place.

  1. Calm and relaxed people.
  2. No wasting of taxpayer money on vanity projects the same way they do in the west.
  3. Authors not being chased for refusing to "recognise" there are "100+ genders", etc, etc.

The west has been in moral decline for 50 years. And while a few magnificent companies keep it afloat financially, eventually they too will crumble, or they need to outsource an ever increasing portion of their workforce.

With AI in full swing, taking jobs, I think there will be a bloodbath here before too long.

LatAm is cool but not as peaceful as Asia imho.

As a European I completely agree with the moral decline, it was imported rather quickly from the US. And US at least kept a freedom of speech. Look at Scotlands new law, it's only a downhill from there.

I’m a European too. Lived here since tiny baby, now kinda old… 😂

It is so sad. The US has a few states like that, such as California and New York. But Europe, we’ve had many countries like that for decades. Sweden is a great example. And they are using the EU to force everyone to become like Sweden. Mass immigration, high tax (wastefully utilised), woke.

I think the answer to this question is personal and too much of a broad question to answer frankly

Moving to a new place (I'm assuming you'd want to stay at least 6 months or so) is a big step and involves thinking about your lifestyle, preferred weather, taxes, what kind of people you like associating with, your political beliefs to some extent, what kind of visas you qualify for, and so on

Without further info it's impossible to say whether or not it's a "good place" for you
