European countries are actually a very good option. Moving there is no problem at all, since we simply can move anywhere in Europe. It would have to be somewhere in the south tho, since we're looking for a much more relaxed lifestyle. We've never been to Malta or Cyprus so far, but both get onto our list. Thank you!

Have a look at Greece, I've found it extremely welcoming and reasonably affordable.

I am greek but i wouldn’t recommend Greece given the poster’s requirements for multiple reasons. Greek islands are not busy in the winter, except the big ones (Crete, Rhodes) and also English is not a first language as in Cyprus or Malta. Tax is big, depends on the government snd changes every year. Cyprus is more stable and with way lower tax especially for contractors.

That's what I'd say if I were living in Greece ;)

But no, you are right.
