Run a real-life trial
Rent temporarily and repeat the intended resident routine: groceries, internet, commuting, school, healthcare and returning at night. Test high and low season where possible.
Measure your own times and costs. Confirm which services are walkable and which require a car or travel to another city.
Evidence-based decisions
Use the housing, cost, school, health, safety and documentation pages as checklists. Confirm services directly and use official sources for procedures.
This revision removed unidentified stories and broad quality-of-life claims. Future testimonials should have verifiable authorship, context and consent.
