My wife and I are looking at retiring to Mexico. My wife has dual citizenship. It looks like I can get permanent residency relatively easily through a couple of options.
The healthcare is steadily improving and still within a quick flight to the U.S. if needed for a specialist. It's also a lot cheaper than the U.S.
The food, it's Mexico. It's amazing.
Montreal. I love the culture. I love the people. I love the city.
About three quarters of a mile NNE. I really like my neighborhood, I just want to be closer to the park.
Currently planning to move to the Nederlands. I am saving money for cryopreservation, and it is easier there. Also, I love the directness and openmindedness of Dutch and liberty for psychedelics.
For many years, I have been thinking about migrating to some other spot, the south of France, Italy, UK, Spain , but then I discovered that it is much better to be a tourist in exotic places. I’ve met quite a few people who have moved to those places, and oh my god can they complain about their new host country. On top of that, many of them keep the option open to go home, for instance for healthcare reasons, or when they get older, but that is not emigrating; then you live in two countries, and in that case, I would feel very lost and “in between”. If you move to another country , you will need to integrate; get involved in administrative problems and political issues, -and you must learn the local language really well, speaking just a few words doesn’t mean that you have truly arrived. So, the novelty and exotic experience wears off quite quickly. So I’m staying put, I just make sure my EV is charged, the railway station is close by, I have cash in the bank,and my passport is up-to-date.
Portugal would be cool. I hear it's beautiful from friends who have gone, and as far as I'm aware they don't suck on LGBT rights
I heard Ireland is geographically safe from most natural disasters and will probably be one of the last holdouts with climate change. Or New Zealand, but I think earthquake risk is higher there.
But from the current world perspective, probably Singapore. Developed country, English is widely spoken, and I won’t stand out looks-wise.
I'm pretty happy in New York City. But I'd probably go to somewhere in Europe if I had to leave. Or maybe Montreal. I'd want to do some research and visit before picking a long term home though.
Chongqing maybe? Because it would be a completely different experience that what I'm familiar with.
Switzerland. Easy answer. Its already only 2 hour drive away but man moving and staying there is a hassle. But fuuuck i love switzerland!
Don’t think I could or want to. Sure the country I live in has a lot of issues but granted that the other country I will be moving to, will have also a lot of issues. I like the country and place I live in.
