Hi, so I have some choices:

I can either go to somewhere in Sicily, maybe Trapani, and learn Italian

I can go to somewhere in Poland, maybe Zakopane with the mountains, and learn Polish despite it being a hard language. The course is shorter on Busuu.

Or I could learn both German and Poland and live somewhere in Poland by the German border. Or I could live in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg, or Liechtenstein.

(I'm trying for Austria)

I have a lot of choices.

I don't know much bout any of those places, but I'd think you'd want to lean towards living in a location that matches your skillset, so you can find work more easily. If you're an accountant, you'd probably want to live near a financial district. If you're a farmer, you'd probably want to live near a farm. If you have a fully remote job, still find a place in/near a hub for that type of work.

What if I want to be a writer/English teacher?

All 3 countries, from what I found, seem to commonly learn English as a second language, it seems that Italy speaks it the least though.
