I'm also very unsure whether I'll like travelling by campervan. It seems equal parts fun and ghetto. 😂
Btw this would be across Europe. The question is where (but I'd def want to include France, Austria, Slovenia, Greece and Turkey).

@Gina My remarks/tips:
Spain is probably the best, they are more relaxed then NL, they or more open than NL they promote having a business.
Campervan road tax doubled this year, could be interesting to buy it abroad. But then you cannot really go on holiday in NL, although I am not sure how strict the checks are on this. -

I was looking into buying abroad, but I think you can't bring it into the Netherlands then, which sounds challenging.
Edit: I'm so sick of this country 😂

Clearly it's time to go (even though I'd be willing to stay a bit longer for a ~particular role~, in case my boss is reading this 😂), but the question is..
..go where?
Australia was a contender, but I haven't heard back from my visa application. Finding a visa sponsored job also hasn't led anywhere. Plus, it feels like Australians are dealing with their own financial challenges, especially aspiring home owners.

@Gina is NZ an option?

@Gina Jup, heb gisteren nog allemaal zitten uitzoeken. kwam in Duitsland 90 euro pm goedkoper uit, maar niet naar Nederland op vakantie gaan was voor ons ook een deal breaker. :(

@realestninja it could be, it's a lot easier to receive a visa than Australia.

@MisterMaker ik wil niet in NL op vakantie, maar dit is wel m'n startpunt, dus ik zal sowieso 1x het land in en uit moeten rijden. Geen idee of dat dan mag, en of je überhaupt een buitenlands kenteken mag registeren als NLse burger.

The saga continues. 🥲
We've established that I need to move abroad. I still don't know where to. And I have two cats to bring along.
The problem is that buying a campervan will easily erase 1/3rd to 1/2 of my savings. And I need those savings to buy a house or start a business. It would be much cheaper if I just knew where I wanted to live and moved there, but noooo. 🙄
I'm worried about spending all my money on travelling and then not having any left to move.

@Gina I heard you can get cheap camper vans on OnlyCamperVans :P

@Gina Reading through the whole thing, I don't know the world enough to recommend you the sweet spot, you definetly have options to run away from the cold, but from the right and finantial crisis I don't think you can. The entire world seems to be going down the drain in that sense. If you can work remotely earning in Euros you'd at least be ok finantially in a lot of places, but that's a big if.

@lalalasombra I'm considering this, maybe for a weekend in NL or a week in Fontainebleau, FR. 🥐
@Gina I think a week in Fontainebleau might be the perfect test. Also, freshly baked 🥐

@ojonnysilva might as well jump off a cliff then 😂

@Gina @MisterMaker voor Spanje toch een kleine waarschuwing, de belastingdienst daar (Hacienda) is echt haast een terreurorganisatie. Ze zijn berucht op jagen op buitenlandse mensen. Vele Nederlanders komen behoorlijk in de problemen door de Spaanse belastingdienst.

Do you have one of those digital Payage thingies that works for a bunch of EU countries? A friend got one of those. Handy for roadtrips these days. -

@AccordingtoWouter @MisterMaker Eerlijk gezegd trekt Spanje mij ook niet heel erg. Portugal al helemaal niet. Ik voel denk ik meer voor de kant van Frankrijk, Italië, Kroatië, Griekenland.

@Gina Zit nog even te checken, en kan geen zak vinden op de website van de belastingdienst. Maar lijkt wel dat het allemaal beetje schimmige contructies zijn denk niet echt risico waard.

@MisterMaker de Belastingdienst kennende zal er wel weer een gigantische boete op staan.

@Gina you can rent campervans quite easily, so easy to try.

@AccordingtoWouter @Gina Krijg je daar ook een boete als je 1 keer vergeet op verzenden te drukken bij de belasting aangifte.

Helsinki ha appena trascorso un anno intero senza una singola vittima del traffico
Sebbene le vittime della strada siano in calo in tutta l'UE, con una diminuzione del 3% nel 2024, gli incidenti con esiti tragici sono ancora all'ordine del giorno nelle aree metropolitane. Trascorrere un anno intero senza incidenti è un'impresa notevole per la maggior parte delle città, figuriamoci per una capitale europea.

@Xeniax damn, both my clavicles cracked loudly, along with every vertebral joint in me spine, but it's good advice and I've made the correction, however frightening the joints chose to make it

@rysiek As expected, the USA has (so far) failed to visit consequence or prosecution on those involved. The clock is running out, one would hope they get to it.

@saramg that's insane!! What a journey 💪💪
