New Zealand because it has the most going for it in terms of community.
Canada (from US.) I like where I live, I just don't like the government.
Italy , its such a beautiful country.
Estonia. Digital privacy is my thing and Estonia is the world's only e-government. They also have the strongest privacy laws.
If I had it to do over again (born/raised in the US, living in Japan), I might pick Norway or Finland over Japan, but overall I'm fairly happy where I am.
Ireland, I speak the language, plus they seem comparatively reasonable.
Almost anywhere in Europe would be nice, but Ireland sticks out to me.
They're part of the EU, and they primarily speak English, so the language barrier wouldn't be as bad. (though I'd be happy to study Irish/Gaeilge)
As for politics and/or the economy there, I don't know much, but I am pretty sure they haven't elected a fascist who's quoted Hitler.
Not quoting Hitlerz but the "prime minister" did say about rent for a one bedroom apartment being over €2k that "people need to remember that one man's rent is another man salary".
The president is nice though, although he's just a decorative position, he seems like a very sensible Hobbit.
There's a country in Europe called Ireland.
I don't know much about the politics and policies there, but what I do know is that if I drop the street view guy there, most places are green and pretty. That puts it pretty high up on my list.
New Zealand would be a fun place to relocate. While it does suck they're part of the 5 eyes as their government loves snuggling up to the US, the life outlook of the citizens is admirable. The money someone has or doesn't have isn't a consideration regarding how someone is viewed. A millionaire and a home-free individual are seen similarly when first met thanks to this mindset. Both mountain towns and island towns have a laid back approach to each day, which would be a nice change of pace. New Zealand is also both, as it's an island with a couple huge mountains. Snowboarding and surfing are a ton of fun, especially when the travel time is minimal. So ya, New Zealand would be a solid choice in my book!!
Iceland or Finland. Love both of those places, from the people to the landscape.
Why choose one country? I'm selling everything and buying a boat.
I've always wanted to visit Japan, but I dunno if I'd wanna live there.
Maybe one of the Scandinavian countries.
Norway. At least according to Germany I'm a Norwegian citizen. And I have a lot of relatives there. It's a stunningly beautiful country. And I think their politics aren't as braindead as the rest of the world's.
Singapore. One of the few (if not the only) developed country in the east/southeast Asia region where you can get by not having to learn a new language. Great public transportation. I’m an urban person so dense megacities are my thing. I’m also Asian so I blend in.
I’d be with you if they allowed medical cannabis. They will execute you for using medicine essentially.
Yup, their draconian drug laws are definitely a big concern if you partake (regardless if for medicinal or recreational reasons). I personally do not, so it’s not a particular issue for me.
My wife and I were speculating about moving to B.C. Canada today...
I hope you have a lot of money. Housing is brutally expensive on Canada's West Coast.
We'd be happy to have you though.
If we were somewhat interested, what are housing costs looking like up there? Down here in Vancouver, WA a 4 bed 2 bath can easily be $500,000
In the other Vancouver:
Holy shit you weren't kidding. Of course Vancouver isn't the only option. We'll have to do some research to see where affordable housing is (and see what the average salary is for my profession)
Yeah, housing in Canada is stupid right now. Vancouver is one of the worst, but affordability is an issue.
I'd like to live in Switzerland, beautful nature and they seem to have a very stable political system that is fairly responsive to the citizenry and its welfare. They know they have a good thing and they work to keep it that way, plus might run into Shania Twain so thats cool too!
Also easier to learn French and German since its everywhere around you and I guess the defaults
Ireland. Personal interest, plus a better standard of living.
Netherlands is another favorite for similar reasons, plus the reputation for walk-ability.
Rural Japan, just me, my dog, a partner and a handful of neighbours and unrivaled nature.
Can confirm, it beats the fuck out of Tokyo 99% of the time. Edit: no dog yet, though, as we want to do some rather long traveling before we get a pet. We do have neighborhood cats and one will come chill near us (though not let us touch him).
Austria. I'd love to live in Vienna. It's so gorgeous and such a great city.
Sweden, I'm learning Swedish and its political and social system seem better than that of the UK, although everywhere is trending right.
Singapore. Spent a lot of time there on a few occasions, and I really like the place.
Alternatively, downtown Kuala Lumpur. Awesome street food.
Baltics.
Contemplating Costa Rica and Uruguay right now
