Bob Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 The easiest transistion would be Canada. Technically, you can travel over a little bit of sea to get to Newfoundland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Of Bavaria Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Where would you live? What country would also be the easiest transition from the US? I would live in Germany, specifically in Bavaria. Not even a debate. The remainder of the Top 5: Australia, England, New Zealand, Ireland. From a practical point of view, the simple answer is as Bob said, Canada. Followed by Great Britian, Australia, New Zealand, etc. The language barrier is huge. My German is rusty, but it wouldn't take long to get back into the swing of things.

vanDoug Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 C'mon up boys, Plenty of beer, women, etc. to go around. Me? Well it's not overseas, but I'd choose the U.S. I can almost speak the language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slats Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I wanna move to Mexico to balance things out. It's on my short list of retirement destinations, along with Costa Rica and maybe Belize. I plan on spending some time in Thailand, too, just to see if I think I could handle that. I want warm-hot weather, and I want it cheap. Australia would be awesome, but it's really expensive. Same with New Zealand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I'm going to retire to England part time in seven years. My gf has her own place in London and that's where we'll live when we're not in the US or in the south of France where her parents own a place. No language barrier and cheap/easy accessability to the rest of Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 The easiest transistion would be Canada. Technically, you can travel over a little bit of sea to get to Newfoundland. I looked at condos online yesterday near the Canadian Rockies and the first one I looked at was 765sq ft. for $355,000. That's all I needed to see.

bitonti Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 people have mentioned the english speaking countries, I agree with that, would also add Costa Rica cause it's beautiful and cheap, and the Netherlands, aka holland where everyone speaks english and it's fun.

Thor99 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Plattdeutsch is so much easier. No "der, die, das, den, dem." Plattdeutsch FTW! It's like living in Alabama.

jgb Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 ...asked the guy who deliberately lives in Philadelphia. living in a city is one thing. at least you get the benefit of living like sardines - resturants, shows, sports, etc. but if you're moving to the wilderness i question your sanity for living in a condo building.

Garb Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Why do people want to live where there are winter's? Eff that! In my perfect world there would be no snow. No wind chill of 10 below.

Beautiful woman and weather. I seriously don't think fat people are allowed to live in SD, or maybe since it's so nice all the time people are more active.

I would live in Germany as well. Loved the country and would love to see a lot more of it. Would hate having to watch NFL games starting at 7pm. It might be a career move in a few years or a decade.
