Anyone seriously considering an international move — remote workers, families, retirees, founders. You know you want to leave; you just haven't found where you'd actually feel at home.

How is this different from just asking ChatGPT?

ChatGPT gives you an opinion. We give you a score from open data: climate normals, OECD tax tables, WHO healthcare index, Ookla internet speeds. Every number has a source. The quiz learns your trade-offs and ranks accordingly — no generic 'Portugal is great' advice.

How do you score countries?

Ten dimensions (climate, cost, tax, visa, healthcare, safety, language, internet, family, banking), each scored 0–10 from open data. We combine them geometrically, meaning one bad dimension really matters — it can't be averaged away. Hard deal-breakers exclude a country entirely.

Will more countries get a detailed map like Italy?

Yes. Italy is our proof of concept — 8,000 places, comune-level climate, prices, internet, demographics. Portugal, Spain, and UAE are next. Subscribe in the atlas to be notified per country.

Climate normals are 1991–2020 (the WMO 30-year standard — the most meaningful baseline). Tax, visa, and language data refreshes annually. Every number shows its source and year inline — nothing is hidden.

Reference

Pins — personal bookmarks on the map

A pin is a small marker you drop on the map and keep. It can stand for a flat you saw online, a relative's address, an estate agent's office. Anything worth remembering by coordinates. Pins are tied to your account.

Where to find it

Open the details panel for any location and tap 📌 Pin this. A dialog appears with the location's coordinates already filled in. Give the pin a title, paste a URL if there is one, write a note if useful, then save.

If you are not signed in, the pin button is greyed out. Sign in once and the button works for the rest of the session.

How it works

A pin holds five things: a title, an optional URL, an optional note, the coordinates, and the location it sits closest to. The URL has a hard cap of 2000 characters; the note the same. Both fields go through as you typed them. We do not unfurl URLs or render markdown.

Where pins live on the map

Personal pins render as small markers in your account colour, distinct from the choropleth shading. Click one and a popup shows the title, the URL as a clickable link, the notes, and two buttons: Metrics (opens the details panel for the nearest location) and Delete.

Demo pins for guests

Visiting the map without signing in shows a sample set of 12 demo pins in the most data-rich country (currently Italy), so you can get the feel of how this works. The demos disappear the moment you sign in; your own pins take their place. Demo pins are read-only.

What to keep in mind

Pins outside the currently supported country bounding boxes are dropped silently on save. The dialog reports the error in the form before submission, but if you have a manually-built CSV with a stray coordinate, it will not make it through.

Frequently asked

What is the difference between a pin and a shortlist entry?

A pin lives at a coordinate and carries a URL plus a note. That makes it useful for individual objects (flats, offices, addresses). A shortlist entry lives at the location level (city, comune) and travels with metrics through the compare table. Pins are object-level; shortlist is location-level.

Can I share a pin with someone?

Not as a single-pin share yet. The closest thing is sharing the URL of the map with the pin layer on. The recipient will see your pins after they sign in, if you have given them access to your account. Otherwise they see only the public demo pins.

Can I import pins in bulk from a CSV?

Yes. The bulk import dialog accepts plain text addresses or a CSV with address, price, and URL columns. See the Reference article on bulk import for the exact format.

Do pins survive a sign-out?

They are stored on the server, so signing out hides them; signing back in brings them back exactly as they were. We do not delete pins on sign-out.
