Hey HN,<p>Recently, I've been dealing with a lot of personal issues (break-up and discovery of a mental illness) that are pretty rapidly wearing me down. Living in the same apartment my girlfriend and I shared is not an option anymore as it is driving me nuts, I need to get away from Eastern Canada. Luckily, I work for an incredible start-up that has been offering awesome support and have always been here for me so I've been looking at the possibility to work remotely from somewhere else in the world in order rejuvenate myself and clear my head.<p>Now this is where the community at HN will come handy, what would be an ideal destination that would be relatively cheap, offer an okay internet connection, that does not block VPN and if possible has a certain start-up community that would allow me to meet people? To those that have tried it, has "exile" brought you a certain sense of rejuvenation? Any other tips to share?<p>Thanks.
