    I live in Canada.

    It’s fine, I guess. But my biggest regret is that I didn’t register my dual citizenship (child of portuguese citizens) so that I could explore the E.U. and settle down somewhere in Europe. Now, I’m 50, with too many bills to pay.

    Grab opportunities when you’re young, kids. If you don’t, then before you realize it, you’ll be to stuck in the bullshit mundanity of daily life to do it later.

    I live in the US. Currently applying for a Canadian passport. The US has so much to offer, and so many cool places. But between the politics and the crushing capitalism it’s rough.

    If I could go anywhere? The Nordic countries+Germany seem to have their shit in a pile.

    Spain and … Spain.

    I’ve been around enough countries to know that nowhere is perfect, but living in the scruffy bit of the EU that has sexy dancing and short shorts is the right place for me

    US

    Ideally I’d really like to live in an alternate history version of the US where we got our shit together at some point. I overall really like this country, there’s a lot of cool things and places here, and while a lot of the bad stereotypes about us are based in truth, I do find my countrymen to be overall friendly (it should maybe be noted that I’m a cis straight white guy)

      How about an alternate universe where Lincoln wasn’t shot and was actually able to follow through on Reconstruction? Hell, I’d take the alternate universe where 2000 wasn’t stolen from Gore and we actually took climate change seriously.

    Canada. I would like to live in the Netherlands mainly because the infrastructure there is amazing. I like to BMW (Bike, Metro, Walk) anywhere I go and in Canada, most of the world actually, that’s not always an option and is sometimes incredibly dangerous.

    Also, AFAIK, the Netherlands is the only country in the world to have truly car-free neighbourhoods. *Which is amazing because it seems no matter where I go in Canada there’s always one or several jackasses that decided the only way to get themselves to work in the morning is to burn gasoline in the loudest way possible.

    Ireland. I’d happily live in more or less any European country. Ireland is pretty great though IMO, especially for raising kids.
