Inspired by a comment where one said he wouldn’t even visit the US and he already lived there, i got curious about whether people dream of living in any other specific country.

What would be your reasons to live in this other country?

I live in Denmark and I am quite satisfied with my life here. I’ve been to many European countries, some Asian countries and Australia.

The only other country I would consider moving to was Australia. I absolutely loved the nature, I liked that it seemed like you could pretty much mind your own business, if you lived in the rural parts, while still not being too far away from “civilization”.

I’ve only been in Australia as a tourist, so it is of course limited how much of the daily life of an Aussie i was exposed to, but those locals I talked to seemed happy, despite hating on the politicians (but that is a global issue, for every country, I guess.), and then there was of course quite a lot of racism, but again, you see that in many countries.

Australia also seem to be spared from a lot of the global political issues we currently see, but I am not sure that is correct.

    Fucking yes. And any Nordic country. They’re the best shit out there: perfect weather, (almost) perfect society, lots of opportunities and the cheaper houses of the world.

    On the other side, Canada, Australia, USA, Spain and most countries are a huge NO for me, either because of they’re fascists (USA, Russia, China, ehem), either because they’re modern slavery centers (Japan, South Korea, USA, ehem), either because they’re fucking teocracies (all of Latam excluding Paraguay and Uruguay, all of Africa, and again, USA, ehem), or either because they’re banning freedom of speech, of thought and of action (Australia, Canada, Japan, USA, Spain, Russia, China, most of Latam, most of Africa, ehem).

      As a person from Scandinavia, “perfect weather” sure is a relative concept. See: Bergen.

        Idk, I just prefer cold than heat, so that’s why it’s perfect at least for me.

          I moved north and to colder/rainier weather.

          I was surprised to find it was the darkness in the winter and not the weather that was hardest to deal with.

            Yeaaa, although I also hate sunlight. Or well, at least equatorial sunlight, I feel like I’m roasting alive here lmao.
