    I live in Canada.

    It’s fine, I guess. But my biggest regret is that I didn’t register my dual citizenship (child of portuguese citizens) so that I could explore the E.U. and settle down somewhere in Europe. Now, I’m 50, with too many bills to pay.

    Grab opportunities when you’re young, kids. If you don’t, then before you realize it, you’ll be to stuck in the bullshit mundanity of daily life to do it later.

    I live in the US. I can’t think of a country without problems but if I had to pick it would probably be Finland, Spain, Germany, or Ireland. However, as Mark Burgess says, “A Person Isn’t Safe Anywhere These Days”.

    Spain and … Spain.

    I’ve been around enough countries to know that nowhere is perfect, but living in the scruffy bit of the EU that has sexy dancing and short shorts is the right place for me

    Not telling, but I would choose not to live in any country.

    I wish to live in the depths of a nameless, unpopulated ocean of body temperature gel which both nurtures and protects me as I float through it in a perpetual sleep.

    US

    Ideally I’d really like to live in an alternate history version of the US where we got our shit together at some point. I overall really like this country, there’s a lot of cool things and places here, and while a lot of the bad stereotypes about us are based in truth, I do find my countrymen to be overall friendly (it should maybe be noted that I’m a cis straight white guy)

      I’d like to live in a country that isn’t so obsessed with class and money. Where people only treat you well if they think you are rich.

      I am working-class coded guy, and where I live it means people hate you and openly talk about how people like me are all shitty and awful and should be ‘fixed’. But when I leave the city people are way nicer to me, because they are working-class and don’t think the way I dress is ‘offensive’.

      And of course, if I mention I went to harvard they go from thinking I’m scum of the earth to wanting to suck my dick… and the country people go from thinking i’m normal to thinking i’m a pretentious rich douchebag…

      funny how this place works.

    This is kinda tough nowadays as while there is a clear place you would want to avoid there is no clear place to go. I mean maybe some nordic countries. Globally things are crazy. Now that being said im a city boy and really like toronto mainly because of being able to bring you pet on the metro. I live in the us and honestly one thing that makes it difficult to go someplace else is we are dragging so many places down with us.
