Ecuador...beautiful country that offers beaches, mountains, cities, jungles etc. Uses American currency and people in many parts of the country are bi-lingual. Cost of living is cheap and the climate is not too extreme. Plenty to do if you love the outdoors. Great nightlife too.

Argentina...again, beautiful country with a varied topography, slower paced, good food, and much to do.

France...they embrace art, food, and culture. The climate is similar to that of California and it is rich in history. I've been told they have beautiful beaches too.

If I could magically overcome the language barrier...
1. France. I'd live in Paris without a second thought. It's urban, sophisticated, cultured and civilized.
2. Italy. This is possibly the most beautiful place with the most beautiful life on earth.
3. Peru. I LOVE the food.

1. Spain - I speak the language (to some extent ), and I love the culture, food, and laid-back lifestyle.

2. Australia/New Zealand tie - I'm intrigued by them. They're like the US, but still completely different.

3. Uruguay/Argentina/Chile tie - Similar reasons as Spain

1. New Zealand (english speaking, good climate, not densely populated, good c.o.l.)

2. Canada (similar to U.S., lower C.O.L. than any of the Euro countries mentioned)

3. Australia (would be higher if it weren't for the spiders )

4. Ireland

5. Holland

6. UK

oops thats six

Would only really consider the first 3 anyway.

1. Croatia - Climate/landscape Italy but much more eager to have outsiders support their economy.
2. Holland (Amsterdam) - The nicest big city I've ever seen, and everyone speaks English.
3. Malaysia - For something completely different
