Kinda boring, but I'd stay in my country. (Switzerland) But I'd move to the Thunersee or Lago di Lugano area.

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Ireland is looking nice, or Scotland if they ever decide to free themselves from the Empire.

Spain is also near the top.

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

I'd stay in Canada as long as I could travel someplace warm for a couple of months in the winter.

[–] Vanth@reddthat.com 8 points 3 days ago

I'd give New Zealand a go. I lived in Australia for a while and liked it for the most part but what I heard of NZ made me think I'd like it even better.

[–] e0qdk@reddthat.com 5 points 2 days ago

If we're including borderline fantasy options, a private Zeppelin might be neat...

[–] KokusnussRitter@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't know if I'd want to stay there forever, but a house in a settlement or very much in the wild would be great. Nobody around you, but nature. Somewhere close enough to the poles for it to snow in winter.

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Damn, you're describing my literal worst nightmare. Humans are delightfuly diverse in their tastes

[–] Tuuktuuk@piefed.ee 2 points 2 days ago

In a different part of this same city. I have children who have lives that I cannot break by moving away from here just now.

Estonia. Nearly all government services are done online and people there are in control of their data.

[–] cerement@slrpnk.net 7 points 3 days ago

Estonia – yes, I’d have a hell of a time with the language, but EU citizenship and politics that don’t sound completely fucked are really appealing

[–] LORDSMEGMA@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 days ago

Visa requirements seem to be less of an issue the more money you have. That being said, I'm going to space

[–] Cheesus@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

Switzerland (Fribourg) or Norway, I'd try each before making a final decision.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 4 points 2 days ago

If language was also not a problem, Mexico, Spain, Thailand, Australia, Norway, Brazil, maybe Hong Kong.

[–] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

Canada would be nice, more specifically the Vancouver area since I have friends out there. Maybe some European country like the UK.

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Somewhere close enough to the equator do have a decent amount of sun all year. But also close enough to mountains with snow and lakes and oceans. Then I would build a massive climate controlled dome. From that dome I would build high speed trains forme to get to the other places in about 15 minutes. I don’t like humidity or too much heat, but I do like a lot of sun and water. Snow is great for hot tubbing.

Somewhere in the pacific. I love coral reefs and sailing

[–] Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org 5 points 3 days ago

Sicily, south eastern parts.

[–] Perspectivist@feddit.uk 3 points 2 days ago

I'd stay where I am. Nothing that's wrong in my life is because of where I live so I wouldn't expect things to be different elsewhere. Only thing that I don't like here is the long and cold winter but I don't think I'd appreciate summer the same way without it. Life needs contrast.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

German north sea coast seems nice. I don't even live that far away from it, but because it's rather popular, the prices for traveling there are too high for my budget. Buying or renting a space to live is obviously also expensive.

If we're talking "which country is the least likely to get a far right government", not sure. Norway seems like it's doing pretty well overall, but I don't really have much experience with Scandinavians. Also they're pretty tall, which is kind of a pain if you aren't tall, too.

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 5 points 3 days ago

Scotland. Preferably Highlands but really anywhere in Scotland

[–] kepix@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago
[–] sefra1@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

If money is no object then I wouldn't stay put in one place, and I would probably also get an yash and stay in the high seas from time to time

[–] verdi@feddit.org 3 points 2 days ago

Portugal highlands, digital government services like Estonia, great food, wine and weather. Would be away from the coast to avoid tourists.

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Ive heard nice things about Amsterdam, though there's the obvious caveat that the impression the internet gives of a place is rarely an accurate picture of how a place actually is.

[–] AtHeartEngineer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Nah it's a pretty cool place, most of the food is meh, but there's some good foodie spots. Overall very cool city though

[–] actionjbone@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

A good friend moved there a couple years ago. It really is a nice place.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I see the "Internet people" are doubling down, makes me think they got something to hide...

[–] actionjbone@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

Damn, and I'm on the internet. I guess I need to figure out what my friend is trying to hide.

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I like it here where I live. But if i had to go somewhere else I'd probably be Switzerland. Why you ask? Cuckoo clocks.

[–] ProfThadBach@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Just outside Inverness Scotland. Sadly. It will never happen.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

Here. And they are not.

[–] dunz@feddit.nu 2 points 2 days ago

Where I live now, Uppsala in Sweden, but in a fancier apartment, closer to downtown, with a proper garage.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 days ago

About three quarters of a mile northeast of where I live now.

[–] SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago

Where I do now, in Catalunya.

However at the moment I have a big house halfway up a mountain, in a national park, surrounded by woods, and I'd rather live close to or in a small-ish town instead ... we're hoping to put the house on the market in a couple of years, once all the outstanding renovations are finished.

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Switzerland. It's got enough bunkers to protect the population during WW3, for starters.

[–] thesilentnickel@lemmy.today 0 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Russia. Fascinating place.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Probably Jamaica, but I'm open to suggestions.

[–] tal@lemmy.today 1 points 3 days ago

If you're American, no visa issue if you do the US Virgin Islands or Puerto Rico.
