I really love Ireland. I have never met such delightful warm friendly people. The grass is so green and the dairy products are wonderful.....fresh butter on a scone...yum. So much history also. I could spend a good amount of time doing research on all that is not yet understood. Love that place.

hmm difficult. All those Scandinavian countries rank highest in Forbes 'world's happiest country'. [forbes.com]
And I love that they are secular on the whole. But I don't speak the languages. I'd live in New Zealand, because the people are generous, funny and creative, and the country is beautiful and secular and progressive; but I don't like the cold. Ultimately for me it's about the people. And my people, friends and family are right here where I am , so I won't move. The weather is warm, even now in Winter. There is space here, space to get away, to think, to breath. So despite Australia being overrepresented by wankers, capitalists and racists, I will stay here because this is where my heart is.

It was once Micronesia… A National Geographic in the 80’s described what sounded to me as pure paradise ~ Now that atomic testing is below ground, or computerized, so no more of that floating over their heads.. But the biggie now is climate change and rising oceans. We can’t even leave paradise alone … almost biblical..

At this time in my life...I'm ok with where I am. I volunteer at three very fine agencies (Planned Parenthood, the very well-managed/equipped zoo and a local Historical Society) and think I contribute a lot there. I'm a firm believer that we MUST give ''back." Of course, I'd love to live in the Pacific Northwest....but that's very selfish on my part, so...I'll stay put.

Varn:
Like your answer.. and feel a bit of that where I’m at, too. Hey, the PNW’s poised for an earthquake that’ll make any in your state appear tiny in comparison … it’s thee reason I relocated to Appalachia. An Oregon native, I’ll miss it forever..
@Varn Appalachia's ALMOST similar in natural beauty but it's always made me sad to see those resources scoured and the ignorance blooming.
Varn:
@LucyLoohoo I’ve been pleasantly surprised.. Appalachia is a mighty large chunk of land. I’d done my homework, so West VA was off the list, Eastern TN & KY, too… They’re part of ‘the Allegheny’ chain, rich in coal and gas deposits, thus scraped raw and economically devastated.. The Blue Ridge, free of coal & gas, and extending east to ‘the tidal zone’ is ..amazing.
I’d long been warned by my father how denuded the east coast of the US was.. and over populated. Well, it’s healed, is super rich and loaded with ‘wildlife,’ and the populations are centralized amid such vastness (much of it National Forests) … dad was wrong. There’s ignorance.. but having traveled rural Oregon, the same. I foresee a ‘reverse migration,’ perhaps later than sooner, but eventually ~
Varn:
@Bendog I’ve not heard of a Canary Island split, but there seems so little geologic activity along the ‘Atlantic ring of stability,’ as compared to the ‘Pacific ring of fire’ I’d not lose any sleep worrying about it, especially where I’m at on the Blue Ridge Plateau..
I’d be looking over Tillamook, Yaquina, or Coos Bay had I not done some serious research as to why all the concern over the ‘sunami zones’ along the coast… My best advice to fellow PNW’ers has been ‘sell, now, and move on.’ It’s still a real estate hot spot, though 
Varn:
@Bendog My dad’s living in what I call ‘sunami central’ on the Oregon Coast.. He still attempts to round up his cats when the sunami siren sounds … but figures his will be a burial at sea, I understand. I miss the Ocean Coast as much as anything beyond my adult daughters in Oregon, but had a reason to relocate, then to leave. Toughest decision of my life, but as I soak up the magnificence of my new home ..the sorrow dissipates and the occasional tears dry. Maybe paradise is where we make it ~ Enjoy yours 
That's a Huge Question and hard for most people to answer because most people haven't traveled extensively enough to make a qualified decision.
Bermuda is a beautiful island with a terrific climate but it is isolated, I lived there for 7 years but eventually felt the need to move on.
Ecuador has 5 climatic regions in one tiny country and would be a terrific place to live for people with good Spanish language skills if the politics weren't always in a potential state of upheaval, I lived there for 2 years.
I have to think that French Polynesia could be a sweetheart of a deal but I know from friends who have lived there that once again there is isolation and the cost of living is very high.
At the moment I live on a medium sized island in the St. Lawrence River with a beautiful view and peaceful surroundings in a natural setting, it works for me at the moment.
