Stuttgart-bound?

We've considered this as the next move, as there are easier employment options in the Stuttgart area which wouldn't require an EU work permit.

With modest-yet-comfortable places like this out there, this seems like a good option.

Stuttgart is closer to the Black Forest, Switzerland, France, Belgium, and other western points. Of course, Munich would be closer to Austria, the Czech Republic, and points east.

Either way, hopping a train to Paris, Venice, or Berlin is oh so tempting.

I just wanna be able to hop on the bike and ride somewhere interesting in no time flat without risk of being nailed by an idiot driver.
