[IWantOut] 28M Office Worker Switzerland -> Croatia
Hi everyone,
I’m in my late 20s and currently living in Switzerland. I have a stable full-time job, no debt, and I’m financially responsible. I’m also working on myself intellectually, spiritually, and physically.
Lately I’ve been thinking about whether Switzerland is the right place for me long term. I find it difficult to build a social circle here, and dating has also been challenging, especially because I’m looking for a serious relationship with someone who values family, loyalty, and a more traditional lifestyle.
I’m not trying to move only for dating, but I do wonder if another country or city might be a better fit socially and culturally. I would like to live somewhere where people are more open, community-oriented, and easier to connect with.
I’m interested in hearing from people who moved abroad for a better social life, cultural fit, or long-term relationship prospects. Which countries or cities would you recommend for someone in my situation?
Some details about me:
I live in Switzerland, work full-time, and can support myself financially. English is not my first language, but I can communicate in English. I would prefer a safe country with good quality of life, a strong sense of community, and realistic options for work or residency.
Has anyone here moved because they felt socially or culturally out of place? How did it work out, and what should I consider before making such a decision?
English is not my first language, so I used AI to help write and translate this post more clearly.
