My favourite is Norway. The pace of life, the greenery, the economic stability. Everything about Norway seems great. I actually buy 90% of my clothes from two specialist Norwegian companies. Only downside is not knowing how to speak Norwegian which is a must I think.

If you could move where would you love to migrate to?
 
I would move to either Serbia or Prague for the ladies
 
Mexico without a doubt, to be specific the region where Tulum is... I'd have had a hard time picking one if I hadn't lived there for a year as I've been all over and lived in several, but Tulum and the surrounding areas are by far the best I've been to or lived in.

New Internet headed by Norway sounds good to me considering my stance lol

Tulum looks awesome man never knew people would also love to move to Mexico but damn it looks like a cool place

@ggmopa no idea lol they hit different 😁

People are dumb man, the amount of people back in Ireland that used to ask me "oohh errr is Mexico not dangerous"... no it's not, it's more dangerous up the city centre in my home city on a Saturday night! Mexico is a magical place.. sure it has it's dangerous elements, but fuck find me a country that doesn't. I'm very well travelled and I can safely say that given what I've seen of Mexico, I'd rank it safer and a much better way of life than most places.

It's a very cool place bro, the vibes there are something else!
 
Till now I have been to 3 countries Maldives , Dubai , Thailand and they are awesome.

If you are looking for peace , good surroundings , clear beaches , some me time Maldives is best .

If you are looking for how to make money , how to spend money Dubai.

And above all Thailand ( Boom , Boom LOL )
 
Tough tough tough... I'm decently traveled, last count around ~45 countries visited and lived in 7 (spending at least 1+ years).

I get asked this question IRL often when people learn how much I've traveled and I always struggle to give a definitive answer. Outside of the standard metrics of cost of living, quality of life, healthcare, etc etc, a lot of what makes a country a "favorite" of mine is at a certain degree the people and connections I've made.

Ultimately, I tend to pick China overall as my favorite country to live, and to be more precise the Guangdong province area near Hong Kong and Macau. Living there in part from the 00s into the 2010s I got to witness an extreme explosion of growth across all sectors in the country. Architecture, history, culinary, and general vibes are all stand out above other places to me. The 24/7 active lifestyle and cyberpunk-esqe modern technology landscape speaks to my soul. The absolute biggest drawback and in part reason why I left were the Internet restrictions which touched a lot of aspects of how I made money online, it became infuriating because of poor connections to Google, AWS, payment services, etc I needed to interface with on a day-to-day basis. If I were to return, it would be solely to open a local and/or non-western targeted business.

Runners-up would probably be Taiwan or Japan.

For the misses I'm almost certain her choice is Turkiye, we spent 3 years there during COVID-era and she loved it. After spending a decade in China, she had enough... so I'm always trying to convince her to go back. Maybe one day.

Should see city centre now man

Got stopped(no stopping, no interacting after say 5pm...) crossing the Liffey, passing the Burger King and jumping on the green line to Heuston for rocks last time I was up

Met my mother up near parnell about 3 months ago and she had a fella following her around the stop

if I still loved a good rock it'd be heaven to be true

I take it by your choices you can speak fluent Mandarin too?

Oh yeah Dublin is fucked from what I've heard and seen... to be fair though it has been for a long time, just looks to be getting worse now. I can't say I put that down to what a lot of people are currently blaming it on though.. that's a cop out and has it's own motives in my opinion, as we all know Dublin has always had issues and those issues started with Irish gangs flooding the place with shit way back in the late 80s and 90s if you get me... but yeah I got a lot of friends down there so I hear the stories often, doesn't sound too good.

Derry City Centre has always been a shit show on a Saturday night is what I was saying with my comment... and it's the local Irish lads drunk off their heads fighting with each other when the bars close (all at the same early time, thus flooding the streets - so backwards here compared to mainland EU) that are the cause of it lol

Far from it. Intermediate level at best (HSK3/4, maybe roughly B2 CEFR equivalent), I can deal with most day to day situations without trouble. Characters are a pain, but I know enough basics. My wife's Mandarin is far far better, she did a dual masters degree in English and Chinese linguistics, worked there handling contract negotiations with clothing factories and foreign companies.
