Argentina- probably too politically unstable.

Australia- they even speak English

Canada- also English speaking, Jesus H Christ cold

Columbia- I need to look up more.

Costa Rica- I hear good things, a strong possibility

Ecuador- first glance around indicates expats like it but internet sounds too slow for us

Jamaica- could be fun

Mexico- I grew up in neighborhoods full of Mexicans. I think I could live near the culture with great harmony. I have a lot of faith I could make friends there.

Peru- Also a place I hear good things about but I need to learn more.

Spain- the primary European country I’d be interested in. I guess pushing my weak ass Spanish to fluency is more appealing than trying to learn another European language.

Uruguay- I don’t know much yet

In the US, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, or Alaska are the best choices which isn’t surprising. They are the more tempting states.

I need to start doing some research.

Things I want to know about all of these places: availability of internet, weather, what are they like culturally, is home schooling legal, and what is the situation like for expats?

Reading expat sites is fascinating. A lot of these people… don’t go meet the locals so they can’t find things. That seems so silly to me.

I clearly feel a strong pull towards the Spanish speaking countries. Noah knows a little and would pick up more easily. I’m 33% of the way to fluent according to Duolingo but when I worked in clothing stores and food service I could help customers.  I will improve fast. MC is already studying. EC hasn’t wanted to learn yet but I think she would pick it up fast if surrounded by it.

We need to research the shit out of these places and do positive/negative comparisons.

EC is voting for Canada so she can go meet youtubers.

That’s 11 possible countries. 2 still in North America. 3 are English speaking (Jamaica doesn’t really count but sorta). 8 are Spanish speaking.

Ok. Lots of research to come.
