If so, where? And if you had the choice (like if living closer to family weren't a consideration) which one would you choose to live in permanently and why?
-
I've lived in Canada and the US.
I think we'll live in the US permanently.
-
@sunny:
Canada and the US for me. But I'll take Canada permanently. -
I've lived in Canada and the US.
I love visiting the US, but I don't think I could live there permanently again. I love Canada, even if I have to go without Target, Olive Garden and Dove Chocolate!
-
I've lived in Uganda, South Asia and Sourh East Asia, as well as the US. For permanent residence I think I'd prefer the US, Canada or Western Europe.
-
I lived in France and the US- the US primarily. I could happily live in either, both have their pluses and minuses. If the chance to live abroad comes up again I will definitely pursue it, it's a fun experience.
-
UK and US. We prefer the US to be closer to our families.
-
I've lived in Belarus, the U.S. and the Netherlands (briefly.). I'm almost certain that I'm in the U.S. permanently but if I have an opportunity in the future to live in Western Europe again I'd take it.
-
I've lived in the USA and Vietnam. Self with kids says I definitely want to stay in the states. Self without kids would have stayed in Vietnam.
ETA reasons why: Vietnam had amazing food, amazing culture and I am a tropical weather type of girl.
-
I studied abroad in France for a year. I would love to live there if it weren't so far from family.
-
I've lived in both Canada and the US - just over 2 yrs in NY. We're just as close geographically to family now here as we were there. There were so many things I loved about living in the US, but could never live there permanently. The lack of affordable healthcare (even with insurance) and the prevalence of gun violence have me happy to be living in Canada again. I have to admit, though, that I miss Amazon.com. Amazon.ca just does not have the same selection, although Prime has gotten so much better!
-
US and UK. I really liked living in the UK and if the right opportunity came up I would go back for sure.
-
The U.S., France for about 5 years and now I've been in Austria for 2.5 years. We are staying in Europe for sure and I would pick France if the decision were all mine. I would pick France because my children and husband are French (I will take the French nationality probably in another year or two), I speak the language, I feel at home there and there is just something sbout the French culture and way of life that suits me better than elsewhere.
-
US, Guantanamo, and now Switzerland. I'd like to live anywhere warm. Switzerland is hard for outsiders, and the weather is a huge minus for me. (I wouldn't even move back to NJ or NoVa at this point.)
-
Canada til I was 25 and Australia since then (9 or so years). Relocated and I haven't looked back! Its been hard without family but there is just so much to love about Sydney - i love travelling back home but I don't know how I'd go living there now.
-
I'm from the US but have spent most of the last ten years living in the UK and Australia. We just moved back to the UK from Australia and are now here on a permanent basis.
I am so happy to be back in the UK, even though Australia was great as well. The British lifestyle suits us perfectly - especially the history, culture, and travel opportunities. My family is the US and whilst I do miss them, we have absolutely no desire to ever live in the US again, mainly due to social issues. DH is British/Australian and most of his family lives near us, and my family comes to visit quite a bit, so we've got the best of both worlds. We love England
-
US, UK and Spain. I'd like a house in each country, plz.
-
I lived in England (one year) and Italy (two years)!
-
US and Switzerland (4.5 years, 6 months short of my passport requirment), we actually plan to return abroad when our son is high school aged.
-
I was born in the Philippines, raised in the US, lived in South Korea for a year and now living in Sweden. We intend to stay in Sweden - it's very family friendly. However, if we hypothetically didn't have a child, we would be living in the US or traveling around Asia.
-
I've lived in the UK but have been back in Germany for a long time now. I would love to live abroad again but it isn't feasible with my husband's job.
-
Does study abroad count?? Lived in Florence, Italy for 4 months. It was amazing. In U.S. And will most likely stay here until our kids are grown.
-
I grew up in the US but have lived in Japan and Hong Kong most of my adult life. I don't think I'd want to live either of those places forever; there are too many clean air/safe food source worries for me in Hong Kong and my kids would always be outsiders in Japan, but I do hope we can go back to one or both places to live temporarily when my kids are older so that they actually remember the places they were born/spent their first few years.
-
Korea and US. Korea would be fun to live in when you're young/single, but I'll stay here!
-
Korea and US.
-
Small island in the Caribbean and the U.S. I wouldn’t mind living outside of the U.S. at this point. If DH really wanted to, I think he could maybe find work in his field in Asia (most likely Hong Kong). He doesn’t want to be an expat though.
-
Aside from the US I've lived in Honduras, Bolivia and Ecuador. I would move back to South America in a heartbeat, and our long-range plans have us moving back there someday (husband is Ecuadorian). Every once and a while I cruise job listings to see what would be available
We're thinking 5-10 years from now!

Hong Kong & US
