Looking to relocate. But to where?

Lots of beautiful, but backwards Eastern Euro states, and global ones as well. I know because I lived there. Problem is if you lived in the US your whole life, you’re a spoiled brat and likely won’t adjust. I recommended Southern Albania earlier because it’s a great place for me. I’m fluent and culturally oriented to it. A typical American probably wouldn’t like it. This is apparent by the disgust many countries feel toward expats.

When you say "spoiled" do you mean spoiled by low crime, low corruption, rule of law, not getting dysentery eating in a restaurant... or spoiled by everyone speaking English and having access to big macs? I'm happy to deal with the latter, less so the former.

Could you update us what was your choice? Or at least the top 3 you would consider? 2 years ago we had a similar thread. One poster claimed he looked into every EU country and ended up with his best choice, but he didn't reveal it. His profile says he is from Cambodia though...

At the moment, Lisbon is coming out on top. Bulgaria and St Petersburg (Russia) are appealing but the wife will never go for it. I am intrigued by Latin America (Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru) but am concerned that I would get bored there, with the possible exception of Buenos Aires.

Costa rica has quite abit to do from what i hear from my friends..beaches..jungle ex cursions...kayaking...etc. I have been to argentina..i wouldn't wanna live there. That is where "el che" is from. I went last year and year prior to that. Nothing i saw there would appeal to me for living there unless you just like sitting around yapping..eating meats galore of all sort and drinking wine. I never seen people eat so much meat, drink so much wine, and waste so much time yapping. Of course the country has been thru economic turmoil last several years..maybe they don't care anymore..

Yes and Argentina is also too damn far away. I suspect I’ll end up in Europe, in which case I’ll really need to think about taxes...
 
Another factor that no one has touched on is - would you be welcome when if you are from the States ? And you get the blame for every thing the POTUS does. Are US people welcome in places like Mexico after his rants ? Probably not.

Wear something with a maple leaf on it. The vast majority of people will assume you're Canadian and leave you alone.
