bluedragon, have you made an effort to see what is available in your own country? there was something in the OP that made me wonder this.

a lot of people believe x will be easier if they can just be in y situation - a situation other than the one they are in currently. i think it might be good to explore how things are in your area before you commit to moving. often if we go to an area with more people, there is more to do in terms of workshops and classes, and we're more likely to meet those who share our interests. (in other words, it may help to check out a more urban area of your country, and if you are already in the most urban area that may be a moot point, or you may be able to check other neighborhoods for some better connections.)

as for your latest question, i am not sure there is a real answer to that. we go with what feels like the best choice, we ask our intuition/gut instinct/heart what is the best option. we do our best to set aside what we *think* is the best option so we get a clear answer. we ask for signs to show us which is the best place to live and stay open to a bunch of different ways for getting those signs.

i just wanted to add, while there may be quite a few people in the U.S. who are interested in PD, there's also quite a few people who aren't. it's probably like that almost anywhere we go.
