Where'd you go? Why? How'd you find work? What went down?

I left a foreign country for the U.S.
Does that count?0 -
Definitely. What's the story?0

If I ever did... and something huge would have to happen here... I think I would go to either the Netherlands, England, Germany, or Sweden... 1) because they are essentially my "motherland" (though my ancestors came here back around the civil war), 2) because I just love those countries and 3) while their taxes may be atrocious, they value personal freedoms and rights.0

^^^^This. for reason #3. I also love Switzerland. It is so beautiful up in the Alps. I'd live in a little village with no cars...0 -
I lived in South Korea for a year of my undergraduate, and if i got a chance again, i would leave Canada to go live there in a heartbeat.0

I'm from Florida, living in Tanzania. It's pretty cool here. Except when it's hot, and then I miss air conditioning.0

Why Tanzania? How'd you find a job?0 -
My husband works in IT. He got a job as a contractor in Germany and we lived there for 1/12 years. I know people who have been doing that for over a decade. We'd do it again in a heart beat.0

My job may move me to Spain after I finish my degree.
I think most ex-pats end up moving for work.0 -

Actually, it was chosen for me. I'm in the Peace Corps, but I love TZ, and may get another job here when I finish PC. There are tons of organizations here that hire ex-pats.0 -

I left Africa to live in the US when I was 12 and HATED leaving Africa...but I left the US,too for England and although I went back to the states for college, I don't know what my dad was thinking of uprooting us from california for England.
If I had a choice, I'd still be in Kenya.0 -

I'm a PCV too! Living in Romania right now and no strong desires to return home yet.0 -
Temporarily it's great. I went to Scotland and Poland for a year each and am contemplating a few others. Permanently I'll stay here but it's an amazing experience no matter where you go.0

I wish. My dream is to move to the Netherlands or one of the Nordic countries...but they'd never let me in to stay.0
