Northern Europe, weather SUCKS, and taxes are eating everyone up. Up to 60 percent in incometax, do you beleive it? The wather is the main reason thou.
Know the feeling

Have a look at Costa Rica. The climate is.. "anything you want it to be" - there are about 8 microclimates and you can have anything from a "desert island paradise" to "Switerland" (complete with Swiss cows and chalets *s*).

Taxes?? You mean the things that hold down carpets??
There are little taxes in Costa Rica and there is no reason why any webmaster would have to pay any - and, before anyone says "illegal" - it is totally legal.

The other main factors are... the education and health systems are on par with the US, but a fraction of the cost. (Think it costs $240/year for *complete* healthcare coverage for a family of four). The country is *very* stable, does not have an army and stays neutral and friendly with all.

We know a good number of people who have moved here, especially those with families - it's a far more interesting and better enviornment to bring up children.
