Dear fellow MGTOWs, especially ones living in West England or in the Czech Republic, I seek your advice on potentially relocating away from London in the UK, where I currently live.
A little bit about my situation:
- I'm in my mid 30's, No health problems.
- Polish national, hence EU citizenship and on my way to holding UK citizenship as well (waiting for reply from the Foreign Office)
- STEM degree and working as a Software Engineer for a very large corporation (very well paid + private pension, health insurance, etc.).
- Live very frugally - the only thing I spend money every now and then are some motorcycle clothing or accessories.
- No debt of any kind.
- Significant savings in the bank.
- Not in any intimate relationship... I'm kind of on the verge of going monk.
- Hobbies include motorcycle touring, boxing and general fitness.
I feel stuck in rut. For the last 3 years I've been feeling like I'm a rat in a cage.
My current job doesn't give me much satisfaction. The previous job I had didn't give me much satisfaction either. The money is too good to quit at the moment.
I have no romantic relationships here (London UK) and I'm not going to bother to look for any. The females here are even too toxic for pumping and dumping (I've tried that).
One of my only two friends is very blue pilled, got married last year and in a few months is moving away from London. The other friend has gone to Asia about 2 years ago and is currently living in Japan.
I have some acquaintances but they're all too blue pilled for me to bear sober and I've decided to completely stop drinking this year.
I'm sick and tired of wasting my time commuting to a job that doesn't give me fulfillment nor work over 50 hours per week and not have time for myself.
I'm just sick and tired of all of that.
Over the past year and half I have devised the following plan:
Shift my specialization to something in IT I can do remotely either as a full time job or better yet, a part time job (I'm a SQL database / data warehouse / CUBE specialist and general .NET programmer)
Move somewhere small-ish and focus more time on my motorcycling (I would like to start buying and fixing up and riding old bikes and maybe selling them off?) and perhaps some gardening and prepping.
What I do NOT want is to be stuck with a mortgage for the next 20+ years, having to stay in the rat race I currently am in.
Here's where the relocation advice comes in.
I've been to Devon in the UK. I've actually rode my bike there a few times. Lovely area nature wise (except Plymouth - it's really dire) and with my current savings, I could afford a modest property there (for example in Torquay) with no mortgage.
I've explored Devon a little - been to Newton Abbot, Torquay, Plymouth and Exeter and I've liked pretty much all of them except Plymouth. There's not much going on in these towns but that suits me fine.
I'm from Poland originally so can always go back. I even co-own a property there with my siblings already so I wouldn't even need to rent if I returned. I received job offers in the last few months from Poland but I've turned all of them down as I would have been eaten alive by the tax man.
With my savings I could buy a studio flat in the capital - Warsaw or a 2 bedroom flat somewhere in the surrounding suburbs.
I keep hearing very good things about the Czech Republic. They seem to have a thriving IT industry, they have amazing countryside to ride motorbikes through, great architecture and the living costs over there seem to be the same as in Poland but with a bit less taxation and less bureaucracy. I don't speak Czech but can learn it - it won't be that difficult for me.
Have any of you, who frequent this subreddit have any experience with Devon/Cornwall in the UK or the Czech Republic?
Would you advise either and why?
Thank you kindly in advance for your replies.
