What European country would you move to in a heartbeat?

If you had the chance to. Feel free to be more specific as some countries have wide regional disparities. I would move to Belgium.

I'm In Spain right now, just sitting and watching our third storm of this month. It's lashing down. It's been absolutely terrible weather lately.

Cyprus. I've thought about it several times. English widely spoken, drive on the left, plug sockets same as UK. Love the food and the weather.

Belgium for me too. Flanders specifically. I've enjoyed visiting many countries for holidays but Belgium is the only country other than the UK that I could imagine myself living permanently.

Formentera, Spain
Naxos, Greece
Syros, Greece

France

I loved there for a few years. It's incredibly expensive and boring. Horrible treatment of animals too and you'll get ignored quite a bit doing important stuff like using government offices/sorting car etc if you are a woman.
It does have nice weather though apart from feb.

I think spain or Holland

Hm. I'm unsure about this one.
I'd say Scandinavia,. but given the predicted imminent collapse of AMOC, the northern countries are in for such a significant drop in temperatures that they will likely become uncomfortably cold, prohibiting agriculture and necessitating expensive and essentially unsustainable imports of energy and resources. I do worry about my Scandinavian friends.

Why would you like to move to Belgium?
I lived there for years and found so , so many aspects incredibly difficult.

The Netherlands. Moved there once in the past and I yearn to go back.

Denmark because I love the Danes and their friendly, laidback attitude. Plus the outdoor life.

Why on earth Finland @SuperLoudPoppingAction ?

Germany! I'm Scottish.

I’m in Portugal, not all it’s cracked up to be

I think you have posted in the wrong chat!

All these countries sound great in theory. But I'm in Spain watching torrential rain out my window.

Denmark or Sweden.

Norway if I could speak the language.

So? No one thinks it doesn't rain in Spain.

None really. I'm shit at languages so wouldn't live anywhere where English wasn't the first language. I'd feel rude living somewhere if I couldn't speak their language.

If language was not a barrier, then Spain.

Spain or Italy

with lots of trips home

I didn't mean it doesn't rain at all in Spain.

Spain is having unusually bad weather this year.

It's not just raining.

It is absolutely torrential downpours and storms every week lately. The weather is not bad, it is frightening.

200 people were killed in a flood here recently.

Portugal or the Netherlands.
Although, if I had my European citizenship back I could travel around and find where I really wanted to live.

Germany

Northern Italy
