Content Creator Ditches Andorra: Boring Life Outweighs Tax Perks
After three years in Andorra, a TikTok creator is leaving due to its dull social scene, travel nightmares, and lack of professional opportunities.
Key Points
- Andorra's streets turn into a 'ghost town' at night, unsuitable for active social life.
- Travel to Barcelona airport takes 6 hours round-trip with weekend border gridlock.
- No cutting-edge startups or networking hubs; even Stripe unavailable.
- Tax benefits outweighed by boredom and professional limitations.
A content creator who has lived in Andorra for three years is leaving the country, citing its drawbacks as outweighing the tax benefits. In a video posted to his TikTok account (@aleks.gtm3), he described Andorra as "very boring," pointing out that the main streets empty out at night and feel like a "ghost town" after certain hours. He added that the Principality does not suit people accustomed to an active social life.
The creator also highlighted logistical challenges, calling Andorra an "inferno" for travel. He noted that trips to Barcelona airport for flights require three hours each way, while border crossings become gridlocked during peak hours, especially on weekends.
Professional growth presents another hurdle, he argued. Andorra lacks cutting-edge startups or a global innovation hub, limiting opportunities for entrepreneurs. "Stripe doesn't even work here, and if you're looking for a hub to network or work, you won't find it today," he told his followers.
