Inspired by a comment where one said he wouldn’t even visit the US and he already lived there, i got curious about whether people dream of living in any other specific country.
What would be your reasons to live in this other country?
I live in Denmark and I am quite satisfied with my life here. I’ve been to many European countries, some Asian countries and Australia.
The only other country I would consider moving to was Australia. I absolutely loved the nature, I liked that it seemed like you could pretty much mind your own business, if you lived in the rural parts, while still not being too far away from “civilization”.
I’ve only been in Australia as a tourist, so it is of course limited how much of the daily life of an Aussie i was exposed to, but those locals I talked to seemed happy, despite hating on the politicians (but that is a global issue, for every country, I guess.), and then there was of course quite a lot of racism, but again, you see that in many countries.
Australia also seem to be spared from a lot of the global political issues we currently see, but I am not sure that is correct.
American here, I’d happily live in another country. I don’t even mind learning a new language. I already know english and have a solid grasp on spanish. Quality of life needs to meet or exceed mine here. (probably not difficult). I want acrage, fast fiber internet, no hoa, and amenities within 30min drive or so. I already live in wisconsin, so canada would be an easy transition. I like the cold. I’ve considered moving once the the wife and I are empty nesters and downsize the house. Other countries that I could make work: Australia, New Zealand. Spain, UK, Nordic regions, maybe even parts of Mexico.
I’ve only been to canada/mexico, so I’d want to visit first.
