    I live in the US. I can’t think of a country without problems but if I had to pick it would probably be Finland, Spain, Germany, or Ireland. However, as Mark Burgess says, “A Person Isn’t Safe Anywhere These Days”.

    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

    NZ and still NZ nothing against other countries but I just don’t like the way people are compared to how they are here. Its not about niceness people overseas are much nicer. Comforts of home I guess. I’d maybe move from Auckland to Dunedin again or to smaller 100k town in the north island.

      New Plymouth is pretty good once you get used to the overall cow smell. Nicer than Auckland at least

    Scotland and Scotland. I love it here. Even though it’s raining as I write - don’t have to worry about watering the garden.

    I now live in China after a few years in the US, Australia and Thailand. By far the best place to live. China is truly an amazing place. The people, the country, the food, the infrastructure, the technology, the quality of life overall: social security, health care.

    Germany.

    If I had to leave (not that unrealistic, considering predictions for the next federal election), it would probably be New Zealand. Seems to be one of the few English-speaking countries that hasn’t gone crazy yet and cold enough that I might survive climate change for a few years longer than here.

      They have the same problems as every other developed country, just at a smaller scale. It only has 5 million people.

      But you will still struggle with the cost of house, healthcare, and education, and a stagnant economy. Their growth rate is 1.5%.

      New Zeland is wonderful is you are rich, but shitty if you aren’t… just like every country.

    This is kinda tough nowadays as while there is a clear place you would want to avoid there is no clear place to go. I mean maybe some nordic countries. Globally things are crazy. Now that being said im a city boy and really like toronto mainly because of being able to bring you pet on the metro. I live in the us and honestly one thing that makes it difficult to go someplace else is we are dragging so many places down with us.

    I’d probably live in China if I could. With how they are constantly improving while the west is constantly in decay, I don’t forsee this process changing. I only still live in the country where I do due to lack of resources to move, and for the friends and family I’d be leaving behind.

    I lived in three countries and they were mostly the same.

    I’m happy where I live in the USA. I just wish my fellow citizens were not choosing mental illness, but I have have no say over that and those same social forces are prevalent in most other countries with social media.

    I’m also kind of sick of listing to them whine about how poor they are when they are so rich, but what they really are is incredibly jealous and bitter that someone else has more money than they do.
