My husband was born in Vancouver and still holds a Canadian passport meaning we could move and work there tomorrow if we wished.  He has just return from a 2 week visit and still complains it is the most boring place on this planet. He acknowedges it is beautiful, safe, clean, surrounded by beautiful moutains and sea but somehow lacking a certain buzz.  But he would quite happily move to Seattle or San Fansciso. We are all different, one mans meat is another mans poison, there is no right or wrong in prefering one place to another.

I've had the ability to work in the US for several years (visa+job in place, nr San Fran), but I choose to work from home from S France instead. The French think I am crazy to do this, the Americans (at least the ones I socialize with) think I'm in some kind of paradise down here.

The problem with emigrating and travelling is that you want bits of everything from all over the place at the same time, and you will never be satisfied.
