Spain and … Spain.
I’ve been around enough countries to know that nowhere is perfect, but living in the scruffy bit of the EU that has sexy dancing and short shorts is the right place for me
I’m sold!
Apt username, lol
US
Ideally I’d really like to live in an alternate history version of the US where we got our shit together at some point. I overall really like this country, there’s a lot of cool things and places here, and while a lot of the bad stereotypes about us are based in truth, I do find my countrymen to be overall friendly (it should maybe be noted that I’m a cis straight white guy)
How about an alternate universe where Lincoln wasn’t shot and was actually able to follow through on Reconstruction? Hell, I’d take the alternate universe where 2000 wasn’t stolen from Gore and we actually took climate change seriously.
Canada. I would like to live in the Netherlands mainly because the infrastructure there is amazing. I like to BMW (Bike, Metro, Walk) anywhere I go and in Canada, most of the world actually, that’s not always an option and is sometimes incredibly dangerous.
Also, AFAIK, the Netherlands is the only country in the world to have truly car-free neighbourhoods. *Which is amazing because it seems no matter where I go in Canada there’s always one or several jackasses that decided the only way to get themselves to work in the morning is to burn gasoline in the loudest way possible.
I live there. Car-free neighbourhoods are very rare here. I live in a big city and there isn’t a single one. So don’t get your hopes up.
Also, the Netherlands is very densely populated. It’s hard to really get away from society and even in national parks it’s hard to find a place where you don’t hear the constant background noise of traffic. And it’s only getting worse.
Yes, I always suspect I’m looking at things through
rose tinted glassesNot Just Bikes tinted glasses, and national parks is really one thing I might not miss because I never really go anyway (knock on wood or what have you).
Germany. I like it here, still anywhere in the EU is nice.
Australia, would prefer to be in the EU, France
I live in Canada.
It’s fine, I guess. But my biggest regret is that I didn’t register my dual citizenship (child of portuguese citizens) so that I could explore the E.U. and settle down somewhere in Europe. Now, I’m 50, with too many bills to pay.
Grab opportunities when you’re young, kids. If you don’t, then before you realize it, you’ll be to stuck in the bullshit mundanity of daily life to do it later.
US, if my avatar didn’t already make that clear. My short list is Canada, Norway, Germany, France, New Zealand, Chile, in no particular order. Basically, places with snowy mountains and ski resorts.
It’s hard to pick just one place, though. There are so many beautiful and interesting spots in the world.
Sweden. Specifically, Gotland. Started in England. Ended up here eventually. Wouldnt change it for anything. Love it here.
U.S., I’d gladly move to Canada or the U.K. tomorrow if I could.
The UK is as poor as Mississippi.
Ireland. I’d happily live in more or less any European country. Ireland is pretty great though IMO, especially for raising kids.
USA -> Denmark
Janteloven, disdain for hierarchy, introverted culture, respect for rules, bicycles. What’s not to love?
I live in USA. If I could, I’d live in Canada
Norway.
Would stay in northern Europe, central Europe at the most. Need my four seasons and I can’t stand weather above 25 degrees, so northern UK would work too I guess.
Wish I could deal with the heat better as there are so many fantastic places further south.
The US.
Denmark.
Scotland and Scotland. I love it here. Even though it’s raining as I write - don’t have to worry about watering the garden.
