Come live in Tasmania. We double-tick the top 4 on that list imho

Tried to live in the Oz after a working holiday visa! None of you all wanted to sponsor me -- and I had professional creds. Applied everywhere too.
AWS/Amazon Australia still send me recruiting emails occasionally.

I've been in Tasmanian for 6 years now, without a doubt the best place I've lived in, of the handful of places I've lived in Australia.
Contact email in my profile.
5. Political situation - not a warzone? Not under sharia? Very democratic, or key to world issues you consider important?
4. Climate - no tundra/sahara? Would you benefit from living near the sea?
3. Food - is the local food edible? Is the local food cheap, including the restaurants? Or is it just very good?
2. Access to nature - do you want to try mountain ranges? Forests? A kind of people you like having around? If I feel disconnected from the city, I just use the public utilities more: coffee, beer, parks and benches for reading on. Not quite collecting mushrooms in the forest but I'm getting there.
1. Culture and language - any cultures you want to learn about? New languages? What would bring your personal and professional development in harmony?
Good luck!
P.S.: The Netherlands are decent. Everything is very "duidelijk", clear, and direct. People don't mind speaking English and speak it well. Weather is mild, can be a bit rainy but not half as bad as Britain. Housing aplenty for a programmer's salary. Consider visiting for a week or so if it peaks your interest.
