1. If you had to move to another country, where would you go? Why there? (Assume you can afford it.) (from [personal profile] james)

If I had to move away from Australia? That's pretty easy. I'd go to New Zealand.

I mean, the climate is not ideal - a bit cooler than I like - and there's the earthquakes and volcanoes, but it's better on the freedom and happiness indexes than Australia, the accent isn't so far off, and I feel like I'd experience less overt racism the way I likely would in any of the Scandinavian countries - at least in the cities.

If you barred me from both Australia and New Zealand, then I'd probably go The Netherlands. My stepbrother and his fam are there, you can get to all over Europe from there, and they've got a solid setup for growing food (food and medical production capabilities are a big consideration in my view in the coming years).

Wow. That's tough. I'd probably choose Canada. I hate the cold, but if money weren't a consideration, I could probably live in Vancouver and not hate it.
