Croatia, I live there.
What's it like to live in?
Not good, most people live paycheck to paycheck. High unemploynent rate when not summer because we only have jobs in tourist season which is summer. If you aren't living in a bigger city 0 public transport.
If you live in smaller cities/countryside you will most likelly be forced to drive at minimum 10km to closest store's, or 60+km to closest er and 100+ km to any decent hospital that's any good.
And let me not starting about the fact we adopted euro recently and the inflation which mak£s us try to survive on 850 euro wage with 500 euro rent and food costs where just one day trip to the store will eat up 25 euro minimally.
As a tourist atraction croatia is amazing, but as a place to live in it's not unless you are lucky and came from outside the balkans, in chich case you can thrive in the country as shown by a lot of americans who come ti live in Croatia after living on high wage jobs there and having expendable money ( average yearly income here barelly passes 12k euro last time I checked ).
Sounds rough mate
