30s single man, which city should I move to?
I'm in the US but I'm open to all suggestions. I'm at a point where I feel kinda bored where I live, and maybe its due to burn out. I want to try living in a new city, preferably somewhere that is not too expensive but offers a good quality of life. Tech scene is important but not necessary.
Somewhere in Southeast Asia like Bangkok? If you can handle the weather, living there is fun, convenient, cheap, and exciting for at least a while. Also good access to beaches and islands.
As an American, I would remark that in most of the US you won't have to adapt too much to the culture. I think that much of the northern Midwest is congenial, and mostly not too expensive.
If I was American I'd be so appreciative of how far I can go without leaving the country. Do I hate life in New York City? Check this baggage, I'm going to Guam!
Wherever you end up brother avoid Florida. It may look tempting with no tax laws and the weather but hobbies and dating scene wise its pretty dull .
Barcelona, I'd say. Foreign-friendly, ok tech culture, lots to do, plenty of cultural activities, great summers (if you can stand the tourists).
You'd have to learn at least spanish though, and ideally basic catalan: it's an internacional city and lots of people try to get away with speaking only english, but this is frowned upon as a lack of interest in local culture.
Maybe a smaller college town near a city. That can be cheap, have a tech scene, entertainment, etc.

New York City. You should find what you are looking for.
If you want to experience an entirely new culture you can try Japan or Taiwan. BYO remote job and you will have the best of both worlds.
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Good quality of life, yet relatively cheap. You can totally get by with English.
Congrats on being able to move anywhere you want.
What do you value most?
Are you looking for a dating scene?
LTR or just a playboy?
Somewhere safe, jobs, things to do, good economy. Dallas maybe.
Lisbon, great weather and food, big tech/nomad community
