Turkey
Why Turkey?
Due to their nomadic history, Turks warmly welcome foreigners who wish to join their culture. Their identity is cultural, not racial or ethnic. Learning Turkish goes a long way towards building community in Türkiye, as you're honoring that culture by doing so. You'll most likely find the most expats around Istanbul (not Constantinople). Because cost of living is so low, local wages will be the same. Earning your income outside the country will likely be in your best economic interest.
