Aniela Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 1. Poland because I have a lot of Polish heritage. 2. Australia because they speak English and the culture seems similar to the United States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber Coco Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Spain, though I've never visited. I hear it's a beautiful country and I'm a native Spanish speaker. And the few Spanish men I've met have been very attractive. 25% unemployment rate but oh well If I spoke French though, France would be my first choice. I fell in love with Paris when I visited, and I loved the way of life there. I guess the whole western European way of life is very appealing to me really, at least in the places I've seen.

Donovan79 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I already live abroad but the UK is requiring some adjustment. Wouldn't mind splitting time being a place here and an apartment in Barcelona, tho. Just need to get the income from the more mobile side business going to the point where a fixed office isn't necessary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinity11 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Canada, because I like how rugged the West is...oh wait I already am :sentimental: Second choice....Iceland. Because I really enjoyed my time there and there is a lot to do in the outdoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fudgie Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I've always been partial to the UK. Been there several times, I have family there, I have a lot of English blood... I've always had the pipe dream when I was younger of just running away to England, leaving my roots here, getting a job/staying with family, and maybe finding love there too, finding a real "home" for myself, just for me, carving a home for myself in a country that my intermediate family and friends are not in. Times have changed though. I have someone here, got family stuff, etc. I am fine with staying in the US. But I'd be lying if I said that a small part of me, once in a while, doesn't daydream about taking off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyPigeon Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Ive lived in a few countries, sooo I guess right now I would like to move to Mexico. I'm tired of the hard life in Asia. Maybe later, I would like to return to Japan though since my Japanese is getting a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssexMan Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Came late to this thread, and hey, what a lot of ways there are to "like to live" somewhere! Confining myself to countries I've been to, I'd like to live in: - Canada again, except I won't, partly because of immigration issues and partly because "going back" is a really bad idea. - The Netherlands. I can definitely see that happening. Rotterdam probably. - Poland - but that's a bit romantic - I love the country, but don't know it well at all, and hardly speak the language (though that's surmountable). - Italy - kind of ditto on the romanticism. I love the country, know bits of it pretty well, and speak the language adequately enough that I'd be able to function and become fairly fluent before long. But, much as I'd like to imagine I'm a hot-blooded Mediterranean type, I'm just not, I'm a dour northern European at heart. I don't think I'd ever really fit in. - India (Mumbai or Kolkata). This could work, I've half-looked into it. I feel very comfortable there. It'd be such a major, major move, though - not a short-haul flight but a long, expensive one away from all my family (except one), friends and employers.

Trinity11 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 haha Essex...whaaaat did yoooou do? I would say I like Netherlands, Krakow, and Reykjavic. So pretty similar to you. I am living in the other country I would like to live in, Canada right now. I am from Australia originally. There are so many places I have not been yet so I am sure there will be more to add!

EssexMan Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 haha Essex...whaaaat did yoooou do? What do you mean? Oh, are you referring to Canada: because of immigration issues and partly because "going back" is a really bad idea. Ha-ha, I didn't "do" anything, I lived there for nearly 20 years (most of my childhood, and very early adulthood). I just mean "going back" is a bad idea in that returning to a place a quarter of a century later because you were happy there in the far-ago past is likely to lead to disappointment. And, immigration issues in the simple sense that I've no right of residence in Canada, whereas I can live anywhere in the EU (and India doesn't seem too difficult provided you're prepared to be a bit creative with the red tape).

Tezza Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 1. Singapore, people are civil and everything just works e.g. public transport, law enforcement, education. ^ Any other country like this would be a-ok for me. I think some European countries might be similar, maybe Denmark and Sweden. I live in Australia btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kate124 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I would not like to live in any other country except my own because I love my country.

Snny Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 If Norway wasn't the most expensive country, I would go because it has the most beautiful landscape in the world. Many Scandinavian countries have reports of holding a higher rate of its citizens being happier than any other country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshinepepper Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I spent a few weeks touring Brazil. Loved it, could definitely see myself living there for maybe a year. On a long-term basis, I'd pick the UK because of family/friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishapple Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Where would I live? France - Brittany, the beauty is breath taking, its food is a gastronomic wonder and the people are friendly Argentina - Such a mixture of cultures and the scenery is top notch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happpybear Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Are you describing me in no 1 ... I went to Ireland and Scotland a few years ago with my family and I could not get over how just about everyone in Ireland has black hair and the bluest eyes I have ever seen! I'm convinced there is something good in the water up there! I liked the sound of the southern Irish lilt, it's more lilty, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derPhilosoph Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I have read many articles on good things about Germany, the UK, France, Japan, etc. All of those countries seem to do many things way better than the USA (where I live) does, including healthcare, work/life balance, overall quality of life, the value they have for STEM education graduates, etc. Even Canada is probably better than the USA in many of those regards. In a heartbeat, if I won a small lottery (enough to pay off my student loans and make sure my parents were all set), I'd probably move to the UK or Germany. I have heard that they highly value engineers and scientists. Whether or not education, especially in the STEM fields, is valued in the USA remains to be answered... Furthermore, with each passing year, there seems to be less and less reason to be "Proud to be an American".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
