Where would you like to move to?

    If money was no object and there was no red tape or other restrictions, where would you like to move to in the world?

    Ireland isn't the worst place in the world, but even when we had the boom, I still really wanted to live abroad and visit other countries. I would say two countries, Canada and Sweden.

    I liked the geography of Canada, how it was so vast and how beautiful it is. I spent some time there before and got to know Canadians, they're a nice aul bunch. British Columbia is a spectacularly beautiful place.

    I'd also say Sweden because, again, physically and geographically, it's very different. It's seriously cold and frozen in the winter months but seems to burst into life in the summer. Stockholm was really amazing, so much history around, like the Vasa ship.

    I know that these are really just pretty things and the reality of living in these countries might be completely different but, for a start, it's not all that bad.

    Brighton, because it's near home (I'm a total home bird) and while the weather wouldn't be amazing, it's still a lot better than here. And it's supposed to be a really nice place to live too.

    I'd love to holiday / spend a Winter or whatever in Spain if I had the money

    Dublin, back to Dublin. Probably southside overlooking the sea. Killiney, next door to Bono.

    But I'd like a holiday home in the South of France.

    Yeah, agree with Canada. Or Berlin, would like to try living there. Hopefully I will later this year or early next year!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,438 ✭✭✭✭El Guapo!


    Florida.
    Been there nearly every year since I was about 5 and I still love everything about the place.

    Good choice. Easy access to the Airports to get home to see F&F. I think I'd prefer Devon/Cornwall though because it's more nicerer.

    Love the thought of moving to Corsica to renovate an old house.

    Sweden is pretty good in days like today (27 degrees with sun and a zephyr),but that comes after looking at snow since november,and there's lots of mozzies :-(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,750 ✭✭✭iDave


    Sweden for the women


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,494 ✭✭✭Columbia

    Ah. That would be Soviet Russia.

    In Soviet Russia, parents lie to YOU!

    America, probably near a big city like Chicago. I think I'd get bored of it after a few years but I loved it when I was there.

    Ohh... controversial.

    San Diego California. I spent a summer there in an area called La Jolla a few years ago. We had a house by the beach and I surfed almost everyday. The beaches are amazing, the weather is perfect, not too hot and almost no rain, its a beautiful city. And if you get bored you can hop across the border for some tequila fueled madness in Mexico. When I'm finished college I'm going to try and get back there.

    Although i would happily stay in Galway if I thought I could get a good job and we had Californian weather.

    Money no object? Monaco definitely

    More realistic choice would be Boston, always liked the idea of living there

    Every been to Monaco? I thought it was horrible. Boston is lovely though, apart from the weather.
