I am in Alberta, Canada of all places. Cost of living is about the same as I was paying in Scotland but you get benefits of being next to the Rockies and very nice summer weather. Also, cowboy province rich in Oil and Gas with a conservative/libertarian majority atm. Anyway, I been living in Calgary for over a month now and feeling much more optimistic about my future. In Scotland, I generally just felt stuck and was never going to leave the rat race.
