Hi, I know this question may get asked a lot but I’m wondering; when you think about all the places and the experience you had there as a whole (scenery, people, laws, culture, etc) what takes the cake as the closest to perfect?

I know perfection isn’t a thing when it comes to being an expat, but I’m sure you’ve felt once before “if it had just this one thing it would be perfect”

I think mine would be Ikaria, Greece.

    Lived in Japan for 15 years and loved it.

    Lived in UAE 8 years and loved it.

    Lived in PRC 4 years and loved it.

    Much depends on your situation and your frame of mind.

    I felt like this about San Diego, but I got sick of it after 4 years (went there for college). I do think that the neighborhoods I lived in weren’t the greatest though.

    Sydney, Australia. Beaches, good food, good drink, great restaurants, you want nature? Beach? Bar? Nice city? Lots of parts and trees. Nice neighborhoods, friendly people. I lived there one time. Broke my heart when I left & it’s still broken… it’s been 6 years…
