If you could live in another country, where would it be and why?

If you could live in another country, where would it be and why?

 

[LEGS MAHONEY]

Greece

 

[YellowBanenoo]

Greece

 

[MikeMcMann]

Still have a lot of the world to travel before i figure that out but as of now I am tending towards Spain or Italy.

There are many places I'd love to visit, but if I had to move abroad right now, I'd pick somewhere in Tuscany. Near Florence, but outside the normal tourist attractions. I love that region. Otherwise, I'd like to live in Berlin again - I spent a great six months there once upon a time.

Thailand, so I could be up to my eyeballs in cobra whiskey and ladyboy hookers.


Serious answer: none. The US is so huge and diverse that bothering to travel to another country seems unessecary. Just moving from southwest to northeast VA is like arriving in another country; the cultures and people are nothing alike. Southern VA is totally different from both of those. And that’s just one of fiddy states, too.

Dude, Greece is awesome. Great food, weather, and scenery. Tons of history too. I loved it.

If I have enough money, I would like to live Switzerland.

Known for it's tranquility, beauty and safety beside the alps, trains, chocolates, watches and banks.

This beautiful country is neutral, so if war breaks lose you can assure yourself that you'll be safe there.

Anywhere the crime is low and the people are accepting of you.

I could probably move to any of these countries if I really wanted to but i like where I live.
If I had to move, it would be:
-Costa Rica
-Bahamas
-Belize
-Spain
-Greece
-Australia
-Chile
-New Zealand

Lucca would easily be my pick. I've spent a lot of time in Tuscany and Florence is the least attractive place to live. It's a tourist trap ful of migrants selling crap. Only San Gimignano is possibly worse.

 

[therealdope]

Italy.

Once there was one of those news stories about some little town saying “We need people! If you come here we’ll give you a free house and a job at the local supermarket.” Or something like that. These stories tend to pop up around election time probably hoping to pull away disgruntled Americans. They always come with idyllic pictures of beautiful landscapes that make it seem to good to be true. Like “You want to pay me to live there?!! In America that’s where a celebrity would have paid millions for a summer home.”

Anyway, there were a lot of these following the Trump election. I remember there was one for some little island off the coast of Ireland. It had pictures like this:

I’ve often thought back to that fantasy many times. My wife and I just living in that beautiful landscape. Just working at the local market. In the evening we’d walk to the local pub. At night we’d bundle up reading books.

But I know it’s just a fantasy. That somehow it wouldn’t, couldn’t be that way. For example, I doubt the local population of 50 or so townsfolk would ever truly feel like the a couple of Silicon Valley Americans were really a part of the community.

So, I’ll keep just working hard, paying $2600 rent to live in a small condo. And sometimes when I’m deadly tired and frustrated with national politics, I’ll fantasize again about living in an Irish Spring Soap commercial

That looks so nice and the fantasy sounds so nice. There’s a fireplace in this fantasy right? If there wasn’t there is now. I’m taking over.

More specifically Vegas or California

Is there a fireplace? OF COURSE THERE’S A FIREPLACE!!

And a couple of these fellas curled up by the fire:

And a pot of tea heating up on an old stove. And an old man with a pipe walks by everyday and waves hello.

And at the pub, there’s more old men who use to be fishermen and they talk about missing the sea. And their wives are there too and they’ve just about had it with these stories so they shush them and go back to drinking. And then inexplicably the pub breaks out into some old folk song.

Maybe some youngfolk playing instruments:
