I want to move away... i need suggestions.

Ok... where to start... i hate my country. i want to move to almost anywhere but here,and i realize there are quite a few people from various countries on this site and i want some suggestions.
i need to know things like the weather there, the economy, anything bad that might make me not want to live there, and anything that might make me want to live there. i am in the market to be leaving in the next 2-3 years.
and the country i live in currently is U.S.A.

 

Good luck trying to find another country with the standard of living of the US. Seriously - the United States has the highest standard of living for the highest percentage of it's population in the world. We probably have the best-armed and best-trained military in the world (except for maybe Israel, with the continuous war there). We have so many advantages here, but all anyone hears about is the bad stuff because the liberal media hates America. Trust me, it's not as bad as they say.

 

...............

move to florida

 

LOL.

Anyway, go to Norway or Iceland.

 

DON'T Go to Thailand is my only advice. It's a very dirty city in bangkok for sure ( Wow, just realized how wrong that sounded XD ) and although peole are really nice, the healthiness is not great compared to america's. Not that I hate Thailand or anything, I loved my trip there. But still...
Maybe try somewhere in Europe? ...England perhaps?​

 

no, i heard England's in a recession too now...

 

Japan I hear is going strong still.​

 

...I wasn't aware that Florida was no longer a part of the USA >>

Yeah our economy is pretty much in the **** too at the moment :D


Ok then, to do as you ask.


England:

Weather: is an unpredictable *****. Sometimes it is gorgeous but sometimes it sucks bad. Winter is cold, summer is hot and it rains a lot.

Economy: rather unstable now, as is the rest of the world.

Anything bad: Uhm we have really high teen pregnancy rates, really high obesity rates, really high knife crime. Our health service (the NHS) majorly sucks ass.

Anything good: I actually can't think of anything right now, but then I am seeking to move away. Maybe we should switch homes =P you live here and I'll live there.

 

haha England sounds like New York(idk bout the knife crimes and the obesity rates here)

but i think norway and iceland are pretty solid

 

the US isn't bad, it's alot better than quite a bit of countries. i suggest you just moving to another city or region of the US. or sometimes even another neighborhood is good enough. as soon as i moved out of the really crime ridden ghetto area in my city, i enjoyed myself more.

 

You should move to a small state like Iowa or somewhere small...;)

 

If you live in the US....I recommend trying to fix whatever you don't like. Be active in politics, write letters, address things you don't like that they're doing, or join a group to help shape US the way you like it. The US is a democracy and so it prides itself for listening to its citizens

Moving to another country is hard. And to find another country that has the same living standards as the US will be equally hard. I recommend New Zealand. Ireland is one of the top 10 stable and prosperous countries. Australia has one of the highest qualities of life, followed by canada. ( for references I found teh stability list at http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/article3617160.ece and the quality of life at http://www.mapsofworld.com/world-top-ten/world-top-ten-quality-of-life-map.html)

Those are my top ideas for countries, but I still recommend that you try to help fix what you don't like about the US first.

 

Well I can tell you a bit about Norway.

The weather:
It goes with the seasons, in winter everyone seem to think it's ridicilously cold here. It's not. It's cold, it snows, but it's not that bad to be outside if you dress well. But it snows, a lot. Spring is spring, the snow melts, the temperature is rising,in summer it's sunny pretty much all the time. Especially around august it gets really hot and there are very few rainy days. Autumn is wet. All the leaves fall, it rains but there are also some days of sun. So yeah, the weater just follow the seasons.

The Economy:
Norway is, unlike most of the world barely touched by the financial crisis. The country has many oil resources, fishing areas and are doing a lot of good reasearch on renweing energy sources (like water). So that pretty much makes the economy stabile. The crisis is a lot on the news, but it barely effects the country, there has been a tiny bit of a price rise in some areas, but we're talking about like a dollar here. And the gas prices has gone a bit up, even with the oil funds. The only place where it has been really noticeable is the property market.

Anything bad:
Umm, well I suppose you're not a father yet so little kindergarden space hardly concerns you xD And well let's see, it's expensive here. One dollar is like 6-7 norwegian kroner. If you're a student, it can be hard if you have no money support.
As for crime rates, there are some drug use, but I've been in the city with the second highest drug rate, I've even lived there and it's not something I'd even know of if it wasn't on the news. In other words, hardly visable. It's mostly in the capital Oslo, that drugs and a lot of gang criminality and prostitution is going on. Most deaths are by knife stabbing I suppose, at least that's what it is most of on the news. The hardest thing I would believe is that if you want to become a norwegian citizen, and get a norwegian passport it can be very hard getting an asylum. It all depends on what your reason for wanting to live here is. If you on the other hand want to stay American, but still live in Norway that shouldn't be too hard.

Anything good:
It is a very good country, with high living standards, a high living age, a modern good society and a lot to do. A lot of lovely nature and it's something for about everyone. You can live in the city, you can live on the countryside or somewhere in between. Norway isn't such a big country, but the population are not that big so it's more than enough space so you can chose what lifestyle that suits you, as for schools it's many options. Norway has a lot of good schools you can study at and get a proper education. I dunno what age you are so I don't know how relevant that is to you.

Want to know anything else, just ask me.

Also, I wouldn't recommend you to move to Iceland like it's suggested. The whole contry has gone bankrupt, the economy has crashed and the citizens are attacking their goverment and a lot of people, and I mean a lot, I can probably even say most people has lost their jobs. I know all I've said about Iceland sound extremely narrow, and I have no hate against the country or anything and probably there still are some good places to live there. But it's not that many, it's one of that countries that got severely damaged during the crisis. But I do believe they are starting to get a little help now and are trying to establish something.

 

That sounds nice...:/ i'm thinking about comming to live in Norway now.....JK i love the U.S. even though the Politicians are more corrupt than Metroid Prime 3 for Wii, but the smaller states arent that bad....

 

Aren't we all in a Financial Crisis? The United States is one of the strongest countries in the world. I live in Aussieland (australia). Ive always wanted to live in America :P/ We can switch if you like.

Stay away from poorer countries in europe and asia though if you really want to move, or come to Aussieland if you like.

 

so, u wanna move to a new country, eh???


Australia!!!:

Weather: is pretty damn unpredictable. The weather guys here are always wrong. =) Just on Monday it was raining all day, and yesterday was really hot and sunny, but there was an electrical storm last night. Winter isnt as cold-we dont have snow, but Summer is hot as hell! Its awesome!

Anything bad: Welp, the ozone layer around here is pretty much gone, so you wanna be careful about skin cancer, thats about the only thing. The aussie accent might take a while to get used to, thats about it.

Anything good:Sydney has a lot of oppurtunity and tourism. We have great schools, and heaps of beautiful stuff.

 

Sweden, the land of perfect! : D

No, not really, but still. Sweden is pretty nice .___.
And It's not as cold as people say <___< We don't have polarbears >_<*
And the summers are really nice ^^
The nature is beautiful, and the people are pretty ;3 ​

​

 

Mmmh... Either to the Netherlands or Switzerland :D I heard Australia is beautiful too...

Well, good luck!

 

I say stay where you are. Moving takes a lot of work, especially to a different country. It's best not to do anything rash right now. The unpredictable could happen and you can end up in a situation way worse than the one you are in now.

"the grass is always greener on the other side"

 

I agree.....it is too much work....Just tough it out, because i was told that the Recession should be over next fall....don't quote me on that though.....
