    Spain. A lot of them speak English over there, but I did Spanish in school so I'd learn it faster than other languages anyway. Plus it has good weather without being oppressingly hot.

      My parents love Spain! I wish I could go someday. I used to really want to go to Germany as well, but now I'm really worried about safety!

        Yeah I heard that if you aren't constantly watching your back, a German may grab you and make you into knackwurst.

          It's not the Germans I'm worried about. I love German people! I actually pray for the people of Germany, and their safety.

    If I had to leave Australia (which I would hate) I'd go to New Zealand: lovely scenery and a brilliant prime minister

          It's common for american, Aussie and european men to visit Thailand for the underage prostitutes. Makes me sick. I should apologise to trex though. Maybe his intentions are pure, but with his often risque posts I made an assumption.

            Hmm i know it's common for them to visit for trans prostitutes but underage ones as well. That's just weird. That's entirely possible though of his intentions. All in all would be a fun place to visit

    I wish I would never ever have to leave my country but if I ever have to come to this I guess my easiest option would be Mauritius.

        Lol I have a different reason for the 1st one that would make it slightly more viable, but truly I'd rather be at the warm beaches with the clear blue water!! Well it gets sunny and warm in the mountains too sometimes.and close enough to mediterranean

    I've always had this idea that I would live 6 months in each country/city that I moved to - enough time to get the feel of the place. Now that I'm older I'd stay at least a year in each.

    I've lived and was born in the US so I wouldn't go back there. I've got my eye in Asia and Oceania, but just to spend some time there. I'm happy with my life where I live.

    I guess I could go to Canada. I used to really want to go to Scotland, but this English woman told me that Spain was better.

    I bet Poland is still pretty nice.

      "I used to really want to go to Scotland, but this English woman told me that Spain was better."

      That made me laugh. Two totally different countries. I mean if you'd said you wanted to go to Italy and she said Spain was better, that would make some sense. Similarly, say, France and Germany, or The Netherlands and Belgium (although why the hell anyone should want to live in Belgium is beyond me...).

      There's a large British (primarily English) expat community in Spain, and a significant number of English people are prejudiced against the Scots and Scotland (just as a lot of Scots are prejudiced against England and the English). I have to wonder if those factors played a role in her advice.

        I dunno, she just told me that it's much nicer, and easier to get a job in Spain than in Scotland. It was about 15 years ago when I was told all of this. I've met a lot of English people who really like Spain.

          Spain is warmer than Britain, and the booze is a lot cheaper, which is a big thing for a lot of Brits who are unable to see that they have a problem with alcohol. Lots of Brits in Spain live in little English-speaking enclaves, which is very ironic, considering how many Brits get steamed up about people coming to Britain from other countries and doing the same thing here.

          Quite a few Brits retired and emigrated to Spain in the past. Things were pretty good there 15 years ago, but the Spanish economy tanked following 2008. Then Brexit happened, and that's making things very difficult for retirees. The Pound gets fewer Euros so their pensions are stretched, there are questions about their future legal status, and house prices nose-dived after 2008. So the property they bought there is worth a lot less than what they paid for it, and it's difficult for them to sell-up, return to Britain and buy a decent place.

          As for getting a job, average unemployment in Spain is currently about 15%, while youth unemployment is 34%. That's pretty awful, but five years ago those numbers were 27% and 55%, so it's improving.

    Greece, so I'd be still be close to my home in Bulgaria.
    I like Greece, nice scenery, nice people, great food and about as corrupt as Bulgaria.
