Fully logical for me, almost to a fault — I made a spreadsheet comparing visa pathways, salary bands, and climate (I really cannot do cold winters). Zero regrets about the process even if it wasn't romantic.

Curious about this community's stories. I had three countries on a shortlist and picked mine mostly on a gut feeling after a two-week visit, which in hindsight was a slightly wild way to make a decision that reshaped my whole life.
What tipped it for you — was it logical (cost of living, job market, visa ease) or more of a gut call like mine?
