Nassau, Bahamas

Tropical beaches, great fishing, plenty of entertainment options, and promiscuous women who are on bachelorette cruises and are easy to get rid of at the end of the day since they have to get back on the ship

Budapest was awesome when I went. Prague as well. Both are beautiful. I really like that old central European vibe. Winters aren't terribly cold.

Australia or New Zealand would probably be high on the list as well.

Lived in Germany last year for three months. Came back and lived again in Germany for four months and the past three months in Scotland. As a US citizen you are allowed to stay in the Schengen region for 90 days twice a year.

As a US citizen you are allowed to stay in the UK for six months (180 days).

This is all on passport ONLY. No visa or residence permit required. You can go back and forth endlessly and never have to go back to the US.

I’m giving serious thought to the Flag Theory of perpetual travel. See links below.

Before a week in paradise was over, I was already bored with Hawaii.

I have Canadian citizenship so that's always an option. I'd rather go to the Caribbean somewhere.

Yes I could, but it would be between Costa Rica, Belize, or Honduras (in no particular order). If you know how to play your cards right, you will find you have the same rights as you do here in the States. I have been to all of the countries I mentioned and have carried firearms openly with no issues (if that's a major concern for anyone).

The cost of living is significantly lower and more affordable in each of these countries, and the people are every bit as friendly and neighborly as your neighbors on HWY 589 through Sumrall, Mississippi are. Throw in the fact that you don't have to deal with the looneys on both sides of the aisle like you do in US politics and you'll find yourself in a winning position.

Yes, lots of places are nicer than the United States. I would love to retire to somewhere like Belize or Costa Rica. If it wasn't for the issues they had a few years ago, I'd also consider buying a spot in Tulum in Mexico.

Honduras is pretty bad off right about now.

New Zealand would be my first choice but somewhere like Costa Rica would see my money go further.

I know a guy who just retired and is in Honduras while his house is being built down there. I just don't trust the stability of the governments of Honduras or Mexico enough to make those work for me.

At least 80 everyday? Definitely not my kind of weather.

I would do it in a heartbeat if I was fully remote.

Italy, Greece, or Denmark would definitely be on the list, but I could be convinced to do something in South America as well.

New Zealand, as it is an incredibly gorgeous country & as a whole, the country is not overly populated. Perhaps a main reason being the govt. is strict on immigration. South Africa is a solid #2. Another gorgeous country that is not overly populated.
