Where would you relocate to ?

This topic that has been on my mind for a while
I was wondering where would be the best place on the planet to live.
By this I mean, the best place where you will not be affected by any dangers, be able to live a good life, and a safe life.

Factors that I have been thinking about which will influence the country of choice include:

- Natural disasters (Earthquakes, Volcanoes, hurricanes, etc)

- Climate change (Floods, excess temperatures, freezing temperatures)

- Terrorism and war (Being bombed, in a war zone, being shot, Biological, Nuclear wepons, etc)

- Social issues. (City ridden with drug addicts / alcoholics / gunmen / crime / kidnappers / burglury / Rape / etc)

- Health and Living (Good water supplies / Quality of food / Adequate health care / Quality of housing / Natural surroundings : City or Countryside)

- Location of nearby Chemical plants / Mobile masts / Radioactive power plants / large water Dams / Pollution / etc.

- Poison. (Snakes / Spider bites / Sharks / Poisonous plants / etc.)

Any more factors that would affect location, please add.

This would be a place you and your whole family would move to stay there for the rest of your life to get away from the dangers.
England is bound to be part of a terrorist plan at some point, and if not that you just know that there is something that is going to be happening elswhere in the world. Maybe becuase of politics causing war to break out, natural disasters / risks due to certain chemicals, or whatever.

I guess there is the issue of taxes and other financial benefits / dissadvantages, but they are not a big issue if you have to get away from a threat to your life.

The choice is yours, where in this world is the best place to live ?

I have not entirely made up my mind but favoured places at the moment seem to be deep inside Canada. There appears to be no wars up there at the moment, there is a big forrest so its got some nice natural spaces and you can get away from the city pollution and my only problem would be being attacked by bears.
The other choice would be in central australia, however temperatures might be too high for my liking, and there would be the dangers of being poisoned by the local wildlife. Plus I would be in central sunshine most days which could lead to developing skin cancer so thats a negative point.
No war seems to be there at the moment though.
Another option would be in a small French village.


Where would you move to ?

Re: Where would you relocate to ?

The only place I'd ever relocate to now is the Republic of Ireland, and that's only if they get their broadband coverage sorted out. I've lived in a few countries and where I am now is hard to beat (for me at least)

Ah yeah, nice scenery over in New Zealand, and from what I have just Googled, there are no dangerous land creatures.

Re: Where would you relocate to ?

How about Switzerland - need to be rich and a capitalist but lovely clean country (not been for many years though).

Otherwise NZ would be high on my list!

Re: Where would you relocate to ?

I wouldnt even attempt the USA.
A prime target in the world of terrorism, a nation of fast food, high gun crime, etc.
No thanks.

I am a city boy. I want to move to Boston at some point. Failing that, Seattle, Toronto maybe.
