comment Renting options in amsterdam
Hi @Necronet. As per our FAQ, we're trying to focus on travel questions, and not immigration / moving country questions. As such, questions about living in a new city are generally avoided. We can suggest you commit to the Immigration Proposal site: area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/10331/immigration, which will help you and help us when we have a site to migrate these questions to :) But for now, we'll have to close this one, sorry.

NY to Miami is down the coast, rather than across the continent...the other route looks promising though.

comment Considerations to take as a UK citizen travelling in Europe?
He's not trying for a political discussion. Some of his comments may be speculation, but the single question in all of it is - "should this make me concerned while travelling in Eastern Europe" - which is certainly answerable. I'll agree though that much of the statements of 'fact' are rather questionable, but nothing that can't be tidied up with some editing.
