Just wondering, say someone offers you a free plane ticket. They say you can leave the United States for good and fly to any other country in the world of your choice? But the catch is, there’s no going back, once you fly to your country choice, this will be your new home for good? Where else would you want to live besides the US?

I’ve always wanted to see what Ireland or the Bahamas would be like? So if I had to leave for good. I’d live in one of those 2 countries in my opinion?

Are we talking PRE or POST Democrat domination of the country into total chaos and ruin?

NOW, IF I could come back for Friday night high school football. I'd pick Hong Kong, pre Commie invasion.

I worked with a guy years ago that retired to a country where his fixed income would go farther. He moved back to the US after a few years for one reason: health care. Not the cost of heaLth care but the quality. He said it was scary.

Does he STILL feel that way? Because healthcare in Georgia STINKS, post Covid. I'm having to wait three months, and jump through all kinds of hoops, to get a colonoscopy. Masks are mandatory, while the person who escorts you to the procedure, has to wait in the car in the parking lot. And a four-month waiting list for cataract surgery. And every time I get a vision check at my ophthalmologist, masks are mandatory for the two plus hour ordeal.

Well that was interesting.

I took three different online quizzes. The recommendations were,

Kenya, South Korea, and New Zealand.

I choose the green hills of Africa. Maybe live on a farm at the foot of the Ngong hills.


The truth is I would probably move to Leamington.

I'll NEVER, EVER, EVER, I mean NEVER go to New Zealand AGAIN! the girls are strange, and the weather is REALLY unpredictable. PLUS, I almost drowned in a typhoon in the Tasman Sea, going to Wellington from Australia.

This intrigues me. Curious as to why? I've never been but like Lake Erie destinations. Planning on taking the boat to Pelee this summer for first time. Ever been?

The thread is titled "Where else would you want to visit?" If I only had one choice I probably would pick a game park in Kenya or South Africa. Even though I am a history guy, I would pick something from the natural world.

But the original post stated "once you fly to your country choice, this will be your new home for good." If that is my choice I would probably stay close to home.

Pelee, no. You know I'm a birder. I've been to Point Pelee National Park outside of Leamington a few times. Because of prevailing SW winds blowing across the lake the weather there is more like southern Ohio or Kentucky, e.g., they grow tobacco there.

This is why I asked. Always wanted to go, never found the time. Thanks.

Makes sense. Be close enough to have all the things. But OP didn't say we HAD to leave so if I'm going to leave, it'd be far away for the experience of starting somewhat from scratch. I wouldn't leave just to live the same life but elsewhere. I've got it too good as it is. Even taking friends, family and ownership out of it, I like living in Toledo just as much as anywhere else I've lived and more than most.

I have no desire to live elsewhere. The older I get the more I detest winter and so there are some nice places in the Mediterranean that look appealing but I like high school/college football and baseball too much to leave (and I hate soccer). I can still run down to Florida for several months here so no problem there. Plus, nothing beats a campfire in the fall, Friday night lights followed by a Saturday filled with college football. Nothing I say. ;)

I like them because of all socialist attempts man has tried, these people seem to be at least making a cohesive effort between the people of that region to live modestly yet with modern conveniences. Working together is not pigment dependent. I dont believe they are anymore all one race than the area I live in which is about 93% caucasian.

None of those countries are socialist.
