I haven't traveled enough out of states to give a definite answer, but Canada is a high possibility (I'd like to study the grizzly, kodiak and kermode populations), and my girlfriend wants to retire in Kenya.

Stress my best friend emigrated to Kenya - it's a lot easer if you don't have to work, they've been tied up in red tape for over two years buying a bar.
And bribes are still definitely a part of life, as is begging and social obligations to "staff". But apart from that, they (friend & husband) seem to love it there.

I was thinking of moving to New Jersey for a while but came to my senses.

Dream on, eh?
srsly, it's hard to move to a country which allegedly uses the same language because (a) it doesn't really; and (b) the expectation of being able to understand the language spawns a false expectation of the ease of cultural understanding and assimilation.

A couple of months ago I would have said I'd have no problem. Now, not so much.

yeah, the culture shock takes a couple of months, but boy does it kick in with some power, huh?

England, or Scotland, or Australia. Maybe Canada.

Anyone with 12 years of English language education and a bachelor's degree can get a visa and a job to teach English in Japan. The pay is enough to save maybe US$5-6000 in a year and see a fair bit of the country. It's a viable option to finish your degree, do a year in Japan, then with your savings spend a few months touring Australia. Pop by New Zealand while you're down there. Just a thought.

I'd like to live in Ireland, Scotland or New Zealand for a little while, not necessarily forever, just because they appeal to me for some reason.

my sister did the same thing in Seoul, Zengum. She travelled a ton and still saved money. she made less there than she did teaching here, but somehow saved money.

I'm an angliophile.
And, I guess those are places I think I would like to visit, but have never had a chance, and the lack of any real language barrier appeals to me. I could add New Zealand (did my 8th grade social studies paper on NZ) and I could have a real chance of going because my (ex) sis-in-law lives there and likes it. |
