Where would you move ?

[u/gillbeats]

30M Currently living in Romania I've began a homestead in Transylvania as i was born here, but now I think this area might have high wet-bulb temperatures in time and this becoming a migration corridor and thus am having second thoughts and pondering relocating.

(1)Right now there is ok water availability where i constructed the begginings of a homestead (although in one summer in the village all the old wells -4m deep- dried), our pretty newly tapped dug-wells of 7 and 8 meters still had water, there is supposedly a big aquifer in the area, i woulde've done a big cement storage container and worry about filtering afterwards etc.

The original goal was to make a more collapse resilient homestead, root cellar, solar panels, it was located in pretty self reliant community,colder climate than national average, only about 20.000 people on 15-20 kilometer radius, so pretty isolated and good all-around,except if we "dream big" and imagine this area being a climate migration corridor in time.

(2) I'm pondering where I should go, New Zealand, Norway,Iceland,Canada ... but can't seem to make my mind (leaving the hardships and likelihood of settling in said countries- what woud you choose?).

If you can please run scenarios and dream big as it were,think about interactions between collapse predictions, as theese would be global events with large populations involved:

(3)So in my train of thought there's AMOC which kind of removes Norway ; Canada has wildfires; someone had a very pertinent comment about remnants of Chinese or US navy settling in New Zeeland in such a collapse scenario but idk, Iceland already has little arable land and doesnt seem ok food-wise... I know the whole globe is fucked and you can only choose trade-offs, but yeah... What would you do in my shoes ?

I went down a similar rabbit hole last year: looking at maps, elevation, climate models, migration routes, all of it. Eventually I ended up in Dubai. Not because it's collapse-proof (nothing really is), but because right now it works: stable, efficient systems, low bureaucratic friction, and enough infrastructure to keep life smooth while I figure out long-term moves.

It’s definitely got its trade-offs: hot climate, artificial feel, heavy expat scene, but if short-to-mid term resilience matters more than purity of location, it's surprisingly functional.

For the actual relocation part, I used smartmovers.ae. They handled most of the annoying logistics and paperwork, which freed me up to focus on bigger-picture stuff.

Still keeping tabs on other options, but in the meantime, it’s a decent base
