Quick answer

The WhereNext Day Simulator generates a structured walkthrough of a typical day across 71 flagship cities × 4 relocation personas (digital nomad, retiree, family, career mover, entrepreneur) — for ~284 unique narratives. Each walkthrough breaks the day into segments (morning routine, work hours, lunch, afternoon, evening, transport) with real prices for each segment from the city's flagship-facts dataset (Numbeo + OECD + national tariffs). Output: monthly cost total + per-segment cost anchors. Permalinks (?city=lisbon&persona=digital-nomad) make every walkthrough shareable.
