So another thread ( https://lemmy.world/post/17746018 ) got me wondering… How many people would want to move to another country?
Just to provide a concrete scenario, let’s assume that in your current country you (magically) have a decent-ish job. They open up offices in another country of your choosing, and you have the option of moving there and work for an equivalent living wage.
They’re able to get visas set up (however improbable that may be) for you and any family, but you have to go through the process of finding housing, physically moving your belongings and anything else you need to set up.
What countries would you take the offer to move to, if any?
Yeah sounds awesome to me too tbh. My mood brightens whenever I see snow and I don’t find that low sunlight levels affect me at all.
However apparently between 1-10% of people are affected by seaonal affective disorder so those people may want to avoid Finland during the winter months
My wife’s sister found she has SAD when she moved to sweden. One of her kids has it too. They cope with the lights and the , well, the understanding they’re gonna be affected. They seem to suggest that it’s not rare there, and that its frequency makes it more acceptable and understandable. It’s okay to be super-down for a few days on a bad wave, and people seem to get it.
