Have you ever seriously considered moving to another country? If so, what country or countries?

In my case, there are only two countries I'd seriously consider moving to. England and Canada.

Why England? Why Canada?

Because both countries have most of my friends here on the Escapist. Friends that, one day, I hope to meet.

I haven't, but only because I already live in a great country. I'm in Canada! I've only seriously considered moving Provinces, specifically to B.C.

I plan on moving to Canada.

It won't happen for quite some time, but it will happen eventually.

Why? Because I like the sound of Canada.
(Keep in mind I will be claiming that my Lawn is Canadia)

I haven't seriously considered moving but if I did have to move, it would probably be Canada, USA or Iceland.

Why? Canada is supposedly great, USA has Swollen Goat and Iceland has Lambi. And volcanoes.
But I doubt I would move to any of them as I like my life here and I'd miss my friends I've made here. So sorry, Canada, USA and Iceland, you won't get the added sex appeal of me just yet. XD

I already live in an awesome country, CANADA! All we need to make it better is better broadband access.

If I had to go to another country it would be Canada.

Why? It's close by and is not Mexico.

Nah I never want to move out of the country, but I would like to visit different countries and soak up the culture.

I'd move to either Switzerland or Germany. Germany because of my heritage and Switzerland because everyone has guns so nobody fucks with anyone there.

I don't think I'd like to move anywhere else permanently, as all of my friends are here, and despite all of the hate it gets, I love the U.S.

I wouldn't mind traveling though, and would love to see most of Europe, as well as Australia, parts of Asia, and Canada.

Well, I've had enough of what the US has to offer, so I'll be happy just to go home to Blighty for a while. But if I had to pick somewhere other than my home on that damp little island, it would probably be Canada.

Friendly, similar climate (if a bit chilier), Ice Hockey and Socialised Medicine. What more could a man want? (Other than the soggy lump of rock floating near Europe? And I say that with love :D)

I can't tell if you mean the UK or Iceland...

hmmmm I once thought about moving to Japan. But I've lost interest in that long ago. I'm already in a great country and wouldn't want to move to another place unless I had to.

i always wanted to move to ireland because it seems a hell of a lot less stressful than the U.S. i mean you have that ira group i think but not nearly as annoying as half the shit we deal with.

Sorry, but I love Australia far too much to leave it behind. If I did ever move overseas for any reason at all I'd be flying the Australian flag out the front of my place and boring the neighbourhood kids with talk of the awesome that is Australia.

...Did I mention I like Australia?

Canada. Everyone I meet or encounter from there seems to be like the master race, compared to all the lowly lifeforms of California.
Saying "Canada" is one thing, but where would you move to in Canada? It's very, very different depending on where you go.
If I had to chose, I'd proly move back to California. I miss L.A. And seriously, I want some warmth!

I would say France. They teach you french at school in Canada so I would do fine I think. Plus I love the culture. If not France then probably USA because it's pretty much the same as Canada, but smaller and more populated.

Blighty is a, er... nickname I guess (?) for Great Britain. Now we even have a TV channel called Blighty.

I've thought about moving away in the past, the US, Canada, France maybe, but I know I won't really be happy there. I've become too attached to my little island (yes, it is mine :p) despite its flaws. I don't think I'd do very well coping with another culture for an extended period. I feel very set in my ways and I'm only 21.

I live in England right now; hate the politicians, hate the justice system, hate the way of life, hate the people (I'm not anti-people, but just about everyone here is miserable, and no one can muster up the energy to crack a smile), hate the weather...basically hate everything about it. It's quite a horrible country...I wish I could be proud of it, but what you gonna do?

However, Las Vegas is my FAVOURITE PLACE IN THE WORLD. I seriously want to live somewhere in Nevada. The weather is awesome, the people are friendly...it's just a great place. Well, either there or somewhere else in the US. Alas, I am only a baby and thus have to wait several years to even get a glimmer of a shot of emigrating anywhere.

Oh, and I'm hearing a lot of good things about Canada, as of late. Could definitely be an option, if I can become a super intelligent scientist or something =/
