I'm 21, unemployed and recently single from a 3 year relationship. I live in a city I love, a country I hate.
My dream was to make something of myself in Jiu Jitsu, but I'm unwilling to open a rival school to my current coach in Liverpool. I'm going to be getting a 5k payout from my grandmother's old house eventually which would pay off my debt and give me enough to last a couple of months in another country and look for a job.
I have a few places in mind, but the main two are Los Angeles and Amsterdam. I know how hard it is to get a job in LA and a place to live, and Amsterdam is the opposite.
I'd like to get a few opinions and a bit of help? I've always lived at home and I think it's time for me to make something of myself. I'd love to open a school in Amsterdam, it'd be a very fitting place for me and I'm pretty sure I could attract a lot of 10th Planeteers to do seminars.
Pros of Amsterdam:

I'm just at a crossroads in life, newly single and don't want to be stuck here forever. Help!
