In What Country Would You Live if not Your Current Country?

[willywhit]

Just want to point out that HI is part of the states. I would guess you meant mainland.

Hold ON a second ! is Wyoming a country ? I wanna move there !

Curious why... Never got the appeal of the place. Plus it's full of Dutch people.

...Plus to the thread in general more pertinent than where would you like to live is why aren't you living there already.

I think it's got good diversity and history as well as good access to the rest of Europe. I thought the people I encountered were pleasant. Pretty environmentally friendly with the bike thingie. From what I understand friendly to expats. I don't know I just dug the place. The weed deal doesn't hurt either plus tulips and windmills Don Quixote.

Maybe the Netherlands would be better

Probably should've been more specific or rather broad. Netherlands in general I suppose is better. I have friends in Rotterdam and Amsterdam.

Don Quixote.

You're kidding?

Dutch?

It was more the windmill thing. I know it wasn't Netherlands/holland.

If you're asking if I'm Dutch I am not.

Claiming Spain's greatest literary figure as your own would be a very Dutch thing to do.

Double dutch?

Sorry if I implied it was mine. Was more the correlation between windmills and Quixote. My bad I guess?

You mean the Eastern 48? Lookers right 48?

Costa Rica.

Surfing rivals pow skiing and they invest in education. Pura fucking Vida.

In order of likelihood:
1. Canada
2. India
3. Italy
4. Great Britain
5. New Zealand
6. Spain

In order of preference
1. Northern Italy
2. Canada (near mountains only)
3. New Zealand
4. Spain
5. India (again near mountains only)
6. Austria
7. Great Britain


If I left the US, Canada would be the obvious option as it would be the least jarring move and I wouldn't hesitate if it was in a region I liked. Northern Italy has always been another attractive option for me as I have family there, love it, and somewhat speak the language (though I'd definitely need to relearn a lot of it). I speak Spanish and have lived in Spain, so that's an option, as is Latin America, but it seems unlikely just for job reasons. My wife's family is from India and she does her research there, so it would be a potential option though again it's unclear where I would work. Still, if we could get good jobs in the Himalayan foothills, I'd totally consider it. I love that part of the country. I've never been to New Zealand but they have a good university system (I'm a professor) and it seems amazing. Great Britain doesn't fit my preferences as well but I have good connections to its university system and my son could grow up with a sexy accent.

places with political volatility keep away lifestyle/lazy leisure travellers. It's a feature, not a bug.

despite some drawbacks - France. les vosges or les pyrenees

tropical - Sri Lanka

I doubt I would move out of the US. If I did though, it would be Kamloops, BC.

[liv2ski]

I think about this all the time. In the US on a Green Card, so if I am out of the country over 6 months Homeland Security can fuck with me when I come back unless I become a Murikan
Have British and Canadian passports, so BC is a no brainer except I want to live in Yurp for a few years.
What to do when the Mrs retires in 2020????

Your British passport isn't going to help you live anywhere else in Europe other than Britain if Brexit does go though.

Yup..... but I could live with summers in Scotland and winters in northern Italy on a visa

[zion zig zag]

Croatia would be good, specifically Brac or Istria. I just need a couple acres with olive and fruit trees and a few lambs to get started. Slovenia would rank pretty high too. Lots of other places that I could live, but those felt pretty comfortable.

[iceman]

Definitely Ireland, although if I ended up in Canada, New Zealand or Australia it wouldn't bother me. But I can be an Irish citizen (grandparents were born there, all I have to do is gather the papers and fill out the forms), which would allow me access to the whole EU. Plus I have a lot of relatives there, including a bunch of cousins, and I just feel comfortable there.

I'm stunned none of you said Switzerland... well on the first and last pages at least.

I'd do Canada or Germany, maybe Austria, Die Schweiz, and Südtirol. Mainly because I speak German. OZ & NZ are too damn far away. Chile might be pretty cool. I need snow/mountains I can easily drive to if I'm not living in them.

Don't you live in DC?

If he was to move, that is what he would move to. Seems straightforward.

[Tippster]

Believe it or not it snows here. Every year. More than it does in Holland. We also have large hills nearby,... some with lifts.

[iceman]

It doesn't snow in Holland? What about the ice skating on the canals shit, it must get cold, or is that all bullshit?

[Mazderati]

There is no Holland.
