    I would backpack around europe and asia and live in as many places as possible!!! I live in Canada and have seen a lot of it..but never been out of canada..not even to the US! I am dying to see a palm tree grow in it's native soil and see a different kind of sunset on a different kind of shore!!

    I love Canada! I'd strongly consider it if it wasn't for the weather, which is even worse than it is in New England (which is my home and probably always will be). My mother was Canadian and both of my daughters are dual citizens as their father was also Canadian.

    Other than that, anywhere in the UK, but most likely Scotland or England.

    It would be Italy for me! I'm half Italian and have family there... Plus I'm an art GEEK and have always wanted to paint in Italy!

    I'd move back to Kenya and spend all day watching elephants, rhinos,giraffes,Cheetahs,lions and leopards. I'd quiet happily do that every single day for the rest of my life.

    Wow sound amazing! Would so love to experience that

    I see all these other posts from people that have lived in all these other countries and I just have to wonder how do you afford it? What do you do for income?

    I worked in various countries over the last 10 years, and now I study. It was fairly easy to find work before 2008, and then I moved to Norway, which hasn't really been hit by economic problems. As for studying, I have dual-citizenship with an EU country, and have lived in the country I'm in long enough to qualify for student aid (plus it helps that there's no tuition cost).

    It's a lot more difficult to move now (to Europe anyway), unless you're highly-skilled and work in a field lacking people. EU rules have become very strict about hiring outside the EEA. It's possible to get a student visa, but it doesn't give you the right to stay permanently after studies are finished.

    The only problem is with moving these days is a lot of people need to show what level of English they have (including native speakers) and it can work out quite costly. I run IELTS test which is a worldwide test recognised by health authorities, universities and immigration departments and the amount of people coming through our doors is unreal!

    Hi fellow South African!! I love it here too! We don't have all those natural disasters like tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanoes and other scary stuff. And it must be one of the most beautiful countries in the world.

    That's hard for me to say, since I haven't really been anywhere. If I were to leave Canada, though...I think I'd want to live somewhere warm and wonderful. But, can I have warm and wonderful with hurricanes?

    Yes you can!! South Africa!!

    Loving all the Canada love!

    However, being Canadian and not a huge fan of our winters, I would choose somewhere hot! Anywhere south will do!
