    I moved from the U.S. to Wales (to study) and then to the Netherlands. I've been here for almost nine years now. If I had to move again, I would like to live in Australia. Realistically we may move to the U.S. at some point to be close to my family but it's nowhere in the near future and I'm okay with that. ;o)

    I did move! I lived in Japan, England, Italy and then came to Turkey. If I hadn't gotten married, I think I'd have gone to Canada next.

    I moved from Finland to Australia. If I moved somewhere now.... hmm... I think somewhere middle Europe (Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands etc) or Japan.

    Needs to be warm, sunny and English-speaking for me. I guess it would have to be Australia or the warm end of New Zealand. I can't handle the cold - that's why I'm a So-Cal girl. I guess I could technically stay in the U.S. if I moved to the Virgin Islands, but my husband lived in Hawaii for awhile and doesn't like living on islands. I guess it'll have to be Australia after all.

    The BF and I have been talking about this a lot.
    My first choice would be Canada or Spain, but he's from Russia, so that's a legitimate possibility. Also of interest would be Germany or Italy.

    Somewhere warmer than the UK! Have dreamed about going to US West Coast and Mississippi areas, Turkey, Greece, Australia, anywhere else away from the Euro Zone!

    Ultimately I enjoy the variety of the British weather (not as extreme as say Minnesota which I think is a fantastic place) , and you don't have to drive too far to go from a pancake flat landscape to craggy mountainous and glacial valleys, so I guess I would stay put without a good reason to move!

    Don't go to China, I lived there for a year, All Chinese men smoke that's 1.2 billion people smoking in your face.
    I certainly appreciate Australia a lot more now.
    Cheers, Ian.

    I did it - I was born in South Africa and move to New Zealand 16 years ago - loving it here :-)

    Would love to go and live somewhere in South East Asia for a few years - but then come back to NZ

    I'm American and have lived in many places, with a long stint in Russia (in fact, I was married there). When our son was old enough to start school, we moved to the States. Even with all of our faults, there is nowhere else I'd want to raise a child; a kid can truly be a kid here. It's just imperative to have him always revisit his roots so he doesn't become another clueless American who takes what he has for granted. We have been here coming on 6 years now, and our son is truly thriving and we don't regret a thing. USA!

    Probably back to the US - Midwest.
    I moved from the US to England (my husband's home) in 2008. I loved it there but he was desperate to get out of the UK (mostly because of the traffic), so we moved to rural France. When we first arrived our impression was that there had been a nuclear disaster or something - we kept wondering where all the people were?! The shutters are always closed up on the houses and rush hour consists of two cars and a tractor. YESSsss! It has its pros and cons - things we love and things we find oh-so-French (frustrating). Wink! But that's what makes it FRANCE, so we appreciate it and have grown much more patient. Hubby won't return to the UK, but eventually we'll probably return to the US.

    I am from England. I have lived in Dubai, Nigeria and Tanzania and now live in France. I kind of fancy a move to Florida where my son lives, but am put off by the levels of gun crime and the absurd cost of health care.
