Ask Lemmy

Fucking yes. And any Nordic country. They're the best shit out there: perfect weather, (almost) perfect society, lots of opportunities and the cheaper houses of the world.

On the other side, Canada, Australia, USA, Spain and most countries are a huge NO for me, either because of they're fascists (USA, Russia, China, ehem), either because they're modern slavery centers (Japan, South Korea, USA, ehem), either because they're fucking teocracies (all of Latam excluding Paraguay and Uruguay, all of Africa, and again, USA, ehem), or either because they're banning freedom of speech, of thought and of action (Australia, Canada, Japan, USA, Spain, Russia, China, most of Latam, most of Africa, ehem).

Other than mine? Probably France, Italy or Portugal. They are like cousins to me, I feel I could be at home in any of them. And the languages are similar enough to what I already speak that I'm sure I'd pick it up without too much trouble.

I've lived in 3 countries throughout my life- not entirely by choice. Silver lining is I know three languages now

(And yes, I am well aware that by "Tahiti" I really mean "France." Il y a une raison pour laquelle j'apprends le francais depuis quelques années.)

New Zealand seems pretty nice too.

I live in Denmark and am studying French to move either there or to Spain (I already speak Spanish) although it would mean higher living costs.

I miss people with strong, possibly contrasting opinions. And crowds, damn I miss street crowds!

I am American. There are many countries I could see myself living in. But the current job market in the US offers higher income than most other countries would offer my family.

American here who is currently awaiting approval of a visa for Australia. My wife got a job in Adelaide, so we’re just waiting for visa approval and will be moving us and the kid. Cannot wait! I look forward to a healthier lifestyle, assimilating to their culture, and just having a new/different outlook on life.

We only visited Sydney and Cairns a couple of years ago, but we loved everything about both places and wished we could stay.

Svalbard. Fewer scary people and more insanely cool animals. The light changes alone are enough for me.

I live in the Midwest part of America. I'd love to live in Canada or a European country. I have a friend in Canada so it'd be nice to hangout more often. As for Europe, only downside is their winters I'm pretty sure suck more than ours and I despise winter.

Swede here, if I had to pick another country to move to, there are a few on my list.

Finland is probably number one, similar climate and culture, some places even speak Swedish, though I would do my best to learn Finnish.

Greece, they have my favourite food, climate seems nice, it just seems nice.

Italy, they have my second favourite food, nice climate, and fast trains.

Australia, seems pretty close to Swedish culture, similar food, and something about the country just seems very appealing to me.

I'm tired of endlessly stressing out about money, so I would say somewhere with a lower cost of living (but still relatively safe and healthy) and with nice friendly people. If I had to guess where that'd be, I'd say Thailand/Vietnam, Costa Rica, or South America. Maybe even Spain too, but outside of the major cities? I've heard that the north coast or Extramadura can be really nice too....

It's fun to dream about, but not something I think about seriously. All places have their pros and cons, all places have good and bad people. I would definitely love to at least travel there someday though!

I've never been to Europe, but I hear I'd love the Netherlands and Germany

I live in the US and while I don’t often dream about living in other countries, if I had to move elsewhere long term, I’d probably pick whichever of the following I was able to get a decent job in, comparing expected net pay to cost of living:

• Canada
• UK
• Australia
• New Zealand

1. Japan
2. Costa Rica
3. Argentina
4. Thailand
5. Poland

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.

I'm sure there are plenty of countries that I would rather live in, and I know for a fact there are other countries I definitely would NOT want to live in.

I'm not familiar enough with any of these places to know for sure.

Probably, but u already have anxiety existing in places I know about, let alone a new place. So eh, maybe not.

As someone who is from the US and lives in Denmark, yes, and I'd pick where you live cuz this place is fantastic!

We have talked about other places too. Now that we've done a move like this (with the intention of never returning to live in the US), it feels like a lower barrier for the "next one" if we so choose to

That’s funny, I was thinking Denmark.

I would love to live in italy. I love the people, culture, food, wine, the dolomites, music... the list goes on...

Germany, yeah SWITZERLAND PLEEEAAAASSSSEEWE TAKE MEEE!!!! PLEASE ANNEX US!

I'm a Brit and I moved to New Zealand in 2010 and haven't looked back. UK is a shit hole traumatised by Tory rule and Brexit. New Zealand is such a literal breath of fresh air. sure we also have similar social issues like right wing politics (Act, NZ1st, National), but we also had Jacinda and I'd vote for her again forever. you don't move to NZ to get rich, you move because you love the land, and the people are awesome and friendly. I'd never go to the US. ewwww

Switzerland.

I don't want to live in any country. I dream of a future world without states or borders.

But Ireland seems pretty cool I guess.

Yes. But, it’s really difficult to figure out where is realistically ideal right now. Ultimately, I’d love a tropical climate or mountains.

Australians complain about the brutal housing prices.

I’d like to live in France
