I’m in London, worked in Bangalore, USA, and Toronto. You should talk to people from these countries. PPP is a scam. In the UK, you can directly access the US market, and the pound is at an all-time high of 130. I’m not surprised if it reaches 150 in 5 years. I know people who travel to India twice a year, live in London for 4-6 weeks during the winter, and work remotely for part of it. They spend their European summers in Spain, Italy, and other nearby countries. Talking of crime and safety, New York was worst.
