I recently moved to Lausanne, Switzerland, because my partner got a job here. Although I like the country and the city, I am not convinced I want to live here, nor that it is my place. On the one hand, I find Switzerland a bit "fake" and "dead", which makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. (Of course there are tons of good things here like salaries, cleanliness, infrastructures and safety that are amazing, but that it's already on the equation.) On the other hand, I want to be either closer from home on in a place that I really, really like. We were not happy also in our previous situation, so that is why we changed, and my partner likes it here. However, I still don't feel this place is for me, but I don't know exactly where or how to find a place that fits me better.
So the question is, those who moved from your hometown, how did you choose the particular place to live? Do you like it, or are just used to it/there for other reasons such as partner, job, and such?
