How old are your kids? This dictates a lot.

If high school age, probably somewhere English speaking or where they can integrate well and find good friends quickly.

So, New Zealand, London, Western Europe.

If they're older or really young, East Asia would be cool. Korea or Japan or Hong Kong.

Even with the fires? Sydney has looked unlivable for months.

Switzerland, England, Italy, Czech Republic, Hungary, or Spain

1/18/20 7:19am

Depends entirely on where.

1/18/20 7:25am

That's part of the question. Where would you go, and why? Where would you not go

ReyOso

1/18/20 7:55am

Personally, no.. No desire to live abroad under any circumstance

cougfanz

1/18/20 7:30am

There's no right or wrong answer, but I'm interested in why.

ReyOso

1/18/20 7:55am

I would rather have my kids attend schools here

cougfanz

1/18/20 8:19am

That happens overseas. Football and basketball teams in high school fly

idacoug

Not much flying, but they do travel. A lot more bus travel than flying.

Sounds like a government position

greatbam

Why not Asia?

Ignore him. He's probably never been to Asia.

Wingnut

1/18/20 10:06am

Could be the time zone thing.

ReyOso

1/18/20 10:14am

East Asia actually works pretty well. You call in the afternoon and it's mornin

ebv

Good point but it’s just that Asia doesn’t sit well with me, much more the
