Ask HN: Looking for tech city without hayfever risk in May/June
Hi,
I'm allergic to grass pollen, and it has its season in May and June in Europe. So this year I want to try to escape Europe and to not get exposed to pollen. For this reason, I've been looking for places that:
- Have a nice tech scene
- No pollen in the air in May and June
- Affordable
- Safe
- the closer to Europe, the better
The best I could find for now was:
- Iceland (bit cold lol)
- Capetown (do they have a big enough tech scene)?
- Canary Islands (I don't want to be a beach tourist)
What other options are there? Also: Have you already done this, and what was your experience? Does this plan generally work?
