so what's your leave-the-country country?

[jarrod]

i think by this point in our history, most of us have toyed with the idea of moving to another country in the future. if not for political differences then economic fears. so if you finally got fed up with the united states, where would you move to?

i'm leaning towards new zealand. i already speak english, the scenery is beautiful & there are plenty of outdoor opportunities, the economy is decent, good healthcare, & even reasonable gun control laws. not as permissive as i like, but it's not exactly the wild west there either.

new zealand. Same reasons. Plus I can hunt Hobbits.

New Zealand sounds so nice...but really I can't imagine leaving America forever. There's too much variety here that I haven't explored yet, maybe in time I'll find the "perfect" getaway here in my home country.

Canada. One of the Scandinavian countries if I could get in. Israel in a pinch.

i think norway would be my first choice of non-english speaking countries. beautiful scenery, sensible socialism, beautiful women, & best of all, black metal :headbangin:

Canada. Had the chance to move to Ottawa in 2000 on the company dime. I probably should have ditched my failing marriage and just gone. I'd be skating to work on the Rideau rather than skidding to work down some boring New Hamsphire roadway.

 

[Bill Mattocks]

I can't imagine really ever leaving the US permanently. But if it were no choice but exile, I suppose Australia.

 

[Tomu]

I really dig Argentina. I could pass with my spanish and it is an outdoor mecca(hunting, fishing, etc..)

 

[myusername]

Southern Ireland. Pretty much the same as the UK but with much, much better Guinness!

 

[KenpoTex]

I'm going to get a few friends together and take over an island in the Caribbean...

 

[FearlessFreep]

My wife and I were just talking about this subject this week.

No real conclusions on a place, just the subject of leaving in general

 

[Jade Tigress]

I definitely need someplace tropical. Maybe...Belize.

 

[Hand Sword]

Texas!!! Hey, they are different and their own little country!

 

[seasoned]

Dreaming is fun, but being the home body I am, there is no place like home.

Yeah, it's dreaming alright. I ain't goin nowhere. *sigh* :lookie:

 

[grydth]

I'd like to visit the USA we used to have. Maybe that involves staying right here and certain others leaving the country, for who-cares-where.

Odd you should say that mate, as my family and I ARE in the next couple of years moving to NZ. My folks have lived there for 7 years, I've been 3 times, took the wife in 06. She was blown away. It is the most incredible place. Not without it's own issues, no where is, but Kiwis are in my experience, some of the nicest people on Earth, with a very strong "She'll be right" attitude.

Heading to the South Island with any luck, Canterbury region. If you've not been there before, I would heartily recommend it.
