What Countries Are Best To Live In?
Many people have talked about where they would like to move if they could go anywhere. There are many things to consider – climate, environment, culture, cost of living, freedom, health, economy, and safety. Based on these items, we can learn about some of the best countries to live in.
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, France is one of the best countries to live in. Although there are higher taxes and too much government sometimes, the quality of life there is amazing. The leisurely, slow-paced lifestyle of France is enticing to newcomers. The health care system of France is another reason that France is high on the list. The health care is run by the government, with each person paying a mandatory fee into the health care system. Of course, their exquisite cuisine which includes large amounts of bread, cheese and wine also make the country attractive to people. Their vacations, maternity leaves and very generous and the basic lifestyle is more relaxing and romantic. Although Paris is quite an expensive place to shop, live and travel, the provincial French properties are much more moderately priced and reasonable for the average person or family.
Another outstanding country to live in is Australia, often referred to as the “Lucky Country.” Australia has a temperate climate and beautiful beaches and the country is known for its healthy and active lifestyle. There is also plenty of excellent food and great culture and the cost of living falls below that of many of the world’s nicest countries. A visit to Australia is going to be more expensive because their economy is very strong and they have handled the Global Financial Crisis better than any other Western country. The beauty and uniqueness of Australia also go a long way to making it an attractive, fun-filled place to live. Switzerland is another extraordinary country in which to live. Despite her difficulties, this beautiful and independent country has made a name for herself. An amazing and attractive fact about Switzerland is the ability to cater to people of different languages – English, French, German (two dialects), Italian, and Romansch (similar to ancient Latin). Foreigners from most any country will feel at home here, as the use of many languages here is accepted and embraced. Switzerland, of course, is known for Swiss cheese, Alpine skiing, and Swiss banking – all making it an enticing and unique place for those relocating.
Germany is another country that ranked very high in the quality of life list. Even with the current global economic problems, Germany has kept her head above water, still giving thirty days of paid annual holidays and an average salary for most workers. Germany is a solid country – from their buildings to their roads to their parks. Many are surprised to learn that Germany is one of the world’s friendliest countries to nature. The hiking trails, mountains, spas and parks all make this country a place to enjoy nature and her beauty. The romantic Christmas markets and towns with houses look like they are straight out of a fairytale. The charm of old Germany along with their strong economy makes this country a great place to live.
New Zealand, land of unspoiled landscapes, is last on our list of exceptional countries. Most of the Lord of the Rings movie was filmed in this picturesque countryside. Young adults who have moved here say that this is an awesome place to move and raise a family. A healthy lifestyle, sports, and beach-life are especially emphasized here. Rather than feeling like they have done anything special, people from New Zealand will tell you that it is the lack of certain things that make their country so awesome. For example, they have low crime rates, the policemen do not even carry guns, and there is hardly any corruption at all. One rarely hears of congestion, pollution, health issues, cramped city living, poverty or hunger in this country. Of course, knowing just these things places New Zealand very high on the list of one of the best places to live.
As you make plans to move, you will want to consider many things, such as your new country’s regulations, passports, vaccinations, taxes, restrictions and permits. Getting everything moved could take one to two months, so it’s important to plan ahead for a convenient time. Other important things to remember include eye care, dental care and refills for prescriptions.
Of course, you will want to call international moving companies and get quotes on moving your household items. The transit could take a month or longer, so be sure and schedule the move at a time that is convenient for you. Moving is exciting and also stressful. Considering where you would like to move, when would be the best time, and all of the factors involved take time and research. However, you will get through the process and will then have the time to enjoy your new life in your new home.
