/ANYWHERE/ in the world! Why do you have to be so american all the time? There is an entire planet out there! Get creative!

I mean you cant actually want to live in your country right now, with it being... IT! Are your second choices Russia and North Korea?! Don't get down with indoctrination! Get UP!

(Love you guys who chose Scotland! Great answer!)

I love traveling, but I haven't found anyplace that I want to live in, full-time. America isn't a terrific place right now, but if I'm honest with myself... I would miss a lot about it if I didn't live here. My family is here. I like wide availability of public toilets, big ol' glasses of tap water with tons of ice in it, central heating and a/c, free parking, Costco, getting in my car and driving, etc.

Don't get me wrong, there's a lot I love about other places in Europe and Asia: the food, fascinating culture, historical sites, museums, the food!, cool mass transit systems, universal healthcare, beautiful landscapes, so much more. But that's for me in tourist mode. For everyday living, I'm only fluent in English, I like driving, wifi and sitting in my boring house with delightfully cool air conditioning, knowing that I can run to Costco and buy a questionable amount of sea salt caramels before grabbing a $1.50 hot dog on my way out. I'm basic af, I know.

What about Canada? They both have healthcare, everything you mentioned, and not your government, plus you could just live in Alberta, they're practically part of the US already!

my real answer is Japan but quite honestly I've put a lot of work into preserving native plants and pollinators in the US and if I left, that's one less person making a difference. I'd be perfectly fine with my isolated witch house (ooh bonus points for an island with only one house on it, mine all mine) with a huge prairie full of endagered plants and birds leading up to a thick mixed forest with even more endangered plants. pink ladys-slippers aren't going to re-propogate on their own (which is the problem). and I know better than to introduce these species to Japan, do you have any idea how badly goldenrod has taken over as an invasive there??

According to Gen II Pokemon, yes??? (okay, not not really, but- nvm I do know something about invasive species and plants that require animals along with insects in order to repopulate, and was going to go into that before realizing I don't actually know what I'm talking about...) but I just figured the whole no restriction part meant a certain ladida type of hand wave.

Wait... You do realize Pink Ladys-Slippers are the considered at the least concerned area of the at risk spectrum? They're all over Canada (easternly) apparently. I mean I was going to make a joke about suggesting Saskatchewan, given my suggestion to the last anon, but that actually checks out.

Really though, thank you for working to conserving local nature. I keep up my garden and try to make it as pollinator/locally friendly as I can, but actually working to preserve native plants and pollinators is very admirable! <3

Yeah we've had threads like this before and I'm always a little disappointed in peoples lack of imagination or sense of exploration or something.

I've lived a few places, including overseas. I can't say either of the places I lived (Philippines, Croatia) would be places I'd want to live. Boston was where I was born and has a sense of home for me, I just always loved it.

Also, yes, the US has serious issues right now. I hate our country right now. I just don't know what it is like to live other places, and the work I do I don't know how to do anywhere else.

As someone who emigrated to America, this is a really weird take. The political climate is shit but 1) that’s not all there is to the country and 2) it isn’t permanent.

When the question is about visiting places, we always see a great variety of amazing places and cultures. FS draws a high concentration of educated and open minded people who are passionate about many things. Seeing the world is one of those things and many regular FSers are well traveled. It’s always interesting to see how fandom itself has influenced the desire to see the world. Sometimes it’s the media alone that is the basis for the interest and sometimes it’s a mix of the media and the people in the fandom.

But visiting somewhere and living there are two very different things.
