If you were going to emigrate, which country would you choose ?

New Zealand. Went there once and loved it.

We did emigrate to Australia - we came back.

I have never been to Canada, however my exh and I thought about emigrating there in the late 70s. I wouldn't want to live anywhere with large and/or poisonous beasties, so that rules out many places. Much of Europe is becoming uncomfortably hot and also wet. I'll stay in cool, dark Scotland where the worst beasties are midges

Yes, Canada for me too.

We were all set to emigrate to New Zealand when our children were 5 and 3.
We didn't go because DH's mother became ill and he wanted to be near to her. Then my parents became infirm.
I have always regretted our decision to stay.

Canada😃

Oh yes Oreo, I'd forgotten how much I wanted to live there or NZ.
That boat has sailed!
(Without me of course) 😉

Madeira

Definitely Spain! Love the culture, the people, the weather, the beautiful, diverse landscapes… I could go on!

Too old now - wish I’d done it years ago. Possibly my only regret in life.

New Zealand, as a Horticultural student there were so many opportunities for people like myself but I dithered and that ship sailed!!
Always regretted not doing it. 😒

Australia is great but not as great as it used to be when we came. House prices are disgustingly high. Our governments are pretty ordinary,too. Haven’t had a good one in years ( similar to the UK )

I'd have to choose Australia.
Unless my family decided to leave and go elsewhere!

Everyone says how wonderful New Zealand is, I've been, would go again but for a holiday only. Canada? No.

I like Finland but the winters are difficult.

Canada. Stayed there for a while and didn't want to leave.

Portugal for me I will be there again very soon it’s my happy place

Portugal for me too.

Or Australia if it wasn’t so far away. 🙂

would have chosen, I meant to say

Portugal for me I will be there again very soon it’s my happy place

New Zealand

I might choose Portugal.

Spain. Though I've never been abroad in my life

North East Germany, somewhere on the Hanseatic coast would suit me just fine, though inland would be good too.

Any Scandinavian country or Italy.

Canada😃

France, we had a holiday home in Normandy for 30 years.

Second choice would be Ireland, returning to where half of me came from.

Australia for sure- of course they have their problems but nothing like we have here.

Spain or Australia.
DH and I spent many winters in Spain. Love the culture, the people and their attitude to life.
Ditto Australia although, so far, only two visits by me. DS2 lives there which is the big plus.
The climates are a big plus too…I loathe the British winter.

I have seriously considered both but have decided that I’m now too old to handle the stress. Should have gone years ago!

I’d choose NZ too nanna8. Have often thought had I emigrated it would be there. But definitely not Canada. I’m sure it’s very beautiful but I couldn’t withstand the winter temperatures.
If it was just a retirement move I’d probably choose Portugal. Have chosen I should say! Recently widowed and in my 85th year.
