Question 1

Who is this for?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

How is this different from just asking ChatGPT?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

How do you score countries?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Will more countries get a detailed map like Italy?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

Is the data current?

Accepted Answer

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.
