Looking for the perspective of anyone that has lived anywhere in the USA and moved to Puerto Rico. What’s it like, what’s different, what’s nicer, what was unexpected, and would you recommend the move?

The thought crossed my mind as well as “what if I did something crazy and sold everything and moved as far away as I could without the logistical challenges of changing countries” and who knows, maybe I’ll seriously consider doing that once my grandparents pass away. There’s bound to be someone looking to hire an IT person in Puerto Rico for a year or two. On the other hand I’m sure there’s a lot more heat and sun to deal with which I’m not a huge fan of…so Alaska maybe?
Why not change countries? I think about doing so all of the time because fuck the USA. Goddamn shithole country. But I, too, have million reasons not to. -_-
I’d also recommend being close, if not fully, fluent in Spanish.
Guam?
The US is a shit hole and PR has no support from the mainland while also having to be an island in hurricane Alley. It’s not worth it. Worth the hassle to move some place with better labor protections and healthcare. Puerto Rico is beautiful but it’s all the worst parts of the US with very little benefit.
