Just curious to see what the demographic is on here and where abouts in the country are we all?

Finland. I was just browsing All and couldn't resist saying hello from pretty close to the other end of the planet.

- We've heard a lot about you Finland! I keep (half) joking to my wife that we're casually going to move there..
  
  One of the happiest places on earth apparently!

  Hiya, yes it’s a big area and only a few Lemmy’ists. Many years ago, there was a sub at "the other place" named Bay of Islands. Tried to contact the owner/mod to take it over, but never had any reply. Ah well.

Originally Invercargill, most recently Christchurch, currently Switzerland, soon to be Marlborough. Can't bloody wait.

- Interesting, in my mind Switzerland is about as idyllic and picturesque as it gets..
  
  Hard to imagine one longing for Marlborough from Switzerland, that said we do have a beautiful country ❤️

  I've been here for more than ten years now. It really is beautiful, and the opportunities to explore Europe have been incredible. But Switzerland is a notoriously unfriendly country and maintaining friendships here is work. Plus our parents are ageing, we miss being close to family, and I especially miss living by the ocean. Going back was always a possibility as an early retirement plan - it's also too expensive to retire in Switzerland.
  
  Mountains and meadows are nice for a while, but driving six hours in the era of carbon footprint reduction to get to a warm bathtub (the Mediterranean) gets a bit stale.
  
  (I might have some strong opinions)
