If you could live anywhere in the world and why

I'd like to live in western Europe.

Having now visited the Netherlands and Denmark I can say for sure if I was to live in another country that didn't speak English it would have to be in one of those two. The Netherlands is close to my home country of the U.K., has a nice capital city, speaks a language I want to learn, has a government that reflects my political views and is a country that I respect. Denmark is less perfect but it's still a great place, I really wouldn't mind living in Copenhagen.

Well if I had the financial means to travel I would love to visit the places where the Prophets of the Abrahamic God were allegedly born e.g. Bethlehem (Israel) where Prophet Isa [AS] was born, Ur (Iraq) where Prophet Ibrahim [AS] was born. Also visit the martyred places such as Karbala, Iraq. Too bad the places themselves are currently inhospitable due to stupidly dangerous political ideologies such as Wahabbism, Salafism, and Zionism creeping into the foundations of the respective religions.

Nevertheless, it shouldn't stop me from learning the languages of the Middle East when making that journey.

Honestly? I'm quite alright where I am.  The natural and artificial wonders of the world are great and all... but I think those make good vacation material, not necessarily living space, if that makes sense.

We are talking about Earth, right?

If I had to live anywhere else on Earth, it would probably be with my friends.

Although I'm just fine here in the Netherlands, I wouldn't mind moving to New Zealand at all because I really love their nature.

I'd go back to live in my home country, if it were actually half decent econonically to live in and not a dumpster fire everyone is trying to escape from. -_-

From experience living in another country is way overromanticised. All your problems will follow you and most countries have big issues that you don't know about because you like the fantasy of another place but don't know the reality of it, not to mention you are guaranteed permanent homesickness if you liked where you came from. It can rip families and friendships apart. It can rip your heart apart. I can't imagine doing it for funsies, it's an ultimate last resort to me.
