If you had to leave your country, where would you move to?

No love for Brazil?
I guess I wont be attending any Dopefest then.

Yes, you must! The people, as you know, are very friendly and you surely would learn the language in a snap. One of my main incentives for moving there is to get more Enzian liqueur, since its not sold outside Bavaria AFAIK.

Well, NZ is not exactly a tropical paradise, they don’t call it the “land of the long white cloud” for nothing. Things are expensive there and thousands of Kiwi’s arrive in Australia looking for a better life. Having said that, the place is stunningly beautiful. Everywhere you look is one amazing view after another. I like NZ but couldn’t live there. If I had to leave Australia I’d live in the UK.

Since I like to travel a lot, I need a large country. Preferably one with English as a primary language.

So…

  1. Canada
  2. Australia
  3. New Zealand (kinda small though).
  4. Brazil
  5. Russia
  6. South Africa
  7. Surinam (I have spent some time there).
  8. Ireland
  9. England
  10. Guyana (next to Surinam).
  11. Chile

Ok enough already! Just do not put me in a very small country.

My first tier would probably be other First World Anglophone nations (UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand)

Second tier would be other reasonably well-off European countries and East Asian countries (South Korea, Japan, Germany, France, Scandinavia, Netherlands, Italy north of Rome)

Third tier would lower level European nations and the Southern Cone countries of South America (Spain, Italy south of Rome, Chile, Argentina etc.)

Honestly, I’d be fine in pretty much any industrialized nation. My top picks would probably be something like France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Poland, Hungary (I especially have a lot of friends and family in the last two, so that helps.) The UK would be fine, but I’d like to go to a non-English speaking country. That’s just a bit more interesting and fun for me.

I was wondering, what if your first, second, and third choices rejected you? Start calling various embassies to find the least objectionable country?:smiley:

Ciao, Italia!

Costa Rica, Uruguay or any of several Carribean countries.

I have a near-lifelong affection for all things Canadian and could, I think, live there quite happily except for one thing…I hate cold.

All things considered, If money were no object, I’d like to live in Belize. I have no aptitude for languages, so pretty much limited to the anglophone world.
