I lived outside my birth country for 15 years and consider it overall a good experience of expanding horizons. The world changes fast tho and there are many good places, and cities (even outside of cities) coming up that provide everything you need. It depends on you tho.

e.g. what's your priorities list? e.g.
- Climate
- Healthcare system
- Good education systems
- Tax friendly (up to 30%)
- Not too isolated (like New Zealand)
- Good culture / vibe
- a local language / culture that doesn't make me feel like an immigrant / outsider
etc.

For every person who would love to spend their day sitting on the beach, there's a person who would rather sit on a porch and watch the snow falling.
For every person who wants to live near-off-grid in the mountains, there's a person who would feel intensely lonely living outside of a metropolis of less than 5 million people.
A country that's otherwise a perfect fit might be stricken off the list because the person is gay, or a woman, or have a particular skin color or religion.

But generally I think your priority list has a very good shape! So let's say those were your prios - where would you go?
