IMO totally valid points, and of course, we're aware that you can run away from "your problems" only to a certain degree. I also agree, that "renewed appreciation" might wait for us sometime in the future. Would be happy about it. KL is actually a very interesting recommendation. I've been there for a few days and enjoyed Malaysia very much. We currently have the Canarian Islands on the top of our list - it's still Europe, climate conditions are ok'ish and one can live there quite comfortably. Thank you for your opinion.
The Canary Islands do have many nice places, it’s surprising how many different ecosystems one can find there, even within a single island.
Be aware though, that there is an increasing number of unassimilated immigrants. It’s a good idea to research the different areas in advance when picking where to live.
Also taxes in Spain are bad and getting worse, but from my limited experience (Spaniard living in Germany) it ends up being roughly a draw compared to Germany. It might well be that at the higher income brackets it’s an advantage, will be glad to hear about your experience if you end up moving there because going back to Spain is something I think about frequently.
