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

    Considering all attributes, good and bad, what country would you live in if not your current country and why? What would drive you to move? Countries in the Nordic region, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand rank high on many quality of life lists.

    Canada.

    I'm not inclined to leave NA. Lots of places to get lost here without being surrounded by volatile countries.

    Netherlands or Costa Rica. Depends on if I wanted to just sell everything and live on a beach, or if I wanted to be in a more metropolitan area.

    Canada, except it isn't far enough from the US for when the fucktards get their dictatorship and or civil war they want so badly. And a civil war in a nuclear armed country is no bueno. Western Australia. Least affected by nuclear fallout in most scenarios. Tierra del Fuego. 2nd best after that.

    And on that cheery note...

    Perceived stability and access to the sort of things my life rotates around.

    This resonates for me though.

    Is working part of the equation? If I had the means to non-work I wouldn't "live" anywhere. I'd have a home base somewhere and the just go wherever the wind took me. Priorities change but if bills were not a constraint, my current agenda would probably be something like.

    Fall/ Early Winter - visit with family in TX and FL and get my fill of salt water. Paraglide somewhere warm in the USA

    Middle of Winter - visit friends in the mountain west and chase pow, maybe vacation to the tropics if the itch needed scratching.

    Late Winter/ Early Spring - Ski Europe/Fly Europe

    Spring/Early Summer - back to the US - ski tour, kayak, fly a bit if its stable, desert

    Summer/Early Fall - Fly the mountain west, avoid the crowds, relax

    For whatever reason, La Paz and Bolivia has always looked intriguing. Maybe there.

    Yeah, it's not the question, but since two other people have said it... rural Big Island. Mrs Hatch and I daydream about our trip there too many times to count.

    I enjoy Hawaii but i'm more interested in south pacific islands that are much less expensive and not part of the US. Vanuatu for instance.
