    your question is to general to answer.
    what he needs, how much he has, what he wants, what he doesnt like.
    does it have to be EU ?

      It's all down to how much he earns and what languages he speaks.

              As klinton said, toomany factors are in game. For example, some countries are crap if you look for job there, but if you run your own remote bussiness then they could be great.

                      if he runs his remote business, then Spain is probably the best choice...
                      either Barcelona, Valencia or Alicante, he can't go wrong

                      If he's looking for a job, then DEFINITELY NOT spain

                        Cyprus will be the best, especially for Australian.

                                    I would say Spain as well - As has been said forget about work if you can't speak Spanish - Even then work is hard to come by...

                                    France is scary expensive - Germany and Holland might be worth a look at.....

                                          It can't be overstated how bad customer service is in Czech Republic. Sometimes I think it's intentional. You're also right about Prague. It's very pricey for what it is.

                                            Interesting suggestion, as long as English is widely spoken, I did a Google search, there is a Northern Cyprus and just a Cyprus. Which of the two would you suggest ?

                                            Looks like Cyprus was a British colony, which may mean my friend may have a good chance on living there since his family is originally from England.

                                                I did and they shouted at me. At the gas station. Such a surprise after coming from Spain
                                                In SPain customer service is also so-so. but at least they never shout at you and are always friendly (even if sometimes clueless)

                                                  yet, i find houses in the "expensive" country for HALF THE PRICE from the "cheap" one, and in much better conditions... HALF THE PRICE no joke...

                                                    Looks like Cyprus was a British colony, which may mean my friend may have a good chance on living there since his family is originally from England.
                                                    If he finds Aus boring,then Cyprus is probably not the place.

                                                    In the UK he can find employment and a decent base to visit everywhere.

                                                    Spain's great, but the main cities Madrid/Barca are not cheap anymore.

                                                          I assume he's an Australian with both a British and Australian Passport?

                                                          Things get hairy in early 2019

                                                          https://www.gov.uk/guidance/advice-f...ving-in-europe

                                                          However if he is an Australian Citizen with a British Passport then things aren't so straightforward.

                                                          Some EU countries will consider the Australian Citizenship (or other citizenships) of British Passport holders when determining whether residency can be permitted, even if that person was born in the UK.

                                                          If he's born in Australia, has claimed a UK issued passport by descent then most EU options are off the table following 29th March 2019. The withdrawal agreement does not cover Australian citizens or those of other Commonwealth countries who hold another citizenship in addition to British citizenship.

                                                          If he's born in the UK and is an Australian Citizen then many countries won't cover him under the withdrawal agreement unless he relinquishes Australian Citizenship.

                                                          If he's born in the UK and is an Australian Resident with permanent residency then he may jeopardise his permanent residency by becoming a resident of certain EU countries.

                                                          Before taking any decision on moving to the EU while Brexit is going on he should get clear written advice from the UK Home Office, DFAT and the Embassy of the country he is thinking of moving to.

If you come from another place that has terrible customer service (like Germany or Russia) or you never left Czech Republic it seems normal. However, once you go somewhere with good service you realize how fucked up it actually is. BTW no one gets tips in Nordic countries either, but I've never experienced anything half as bad as I have living in Czech Republic.

                                                              yes thank you i know you can only compare similar stuff
                                                              i know that you can not compare a 12 millions € mansion in the city with a 30 m2 studio in the middle of nowhere, i get that

                                                              I'm talking same type of location (10-15km from 100-200k cities) and i'm talking about the same kind of properties (100 m2 houses, 500-600m2 garden). I have spent dozens of hours doing my research

                                                                Some EU countries will consider the Australian Citizenship (or other citizenships) of British Passport holders when determining whether residency can be permitted, even if that person was born in the UK.

                                                                If he's born in Australia, has claimed a UK issued passport by descent then most EU options are off the table following 29th March 2019. The withdrawal agreement does not cover Australian citizens or those of other Commonwealth countries who hold another citizenship in addition to British citizenship.

                                                                If he's born in the UK and is an Australian Citizen then many countries won't cover him under the withdrawal agreement unless he relinquishes Australian Citizenship.

                                                                If he's born in the UK and is an Australian Resident with permanent residency then he may jeopardise his permanent residency by becoming a resident of certain EU countries.

                                                                Before taking any decision on moving to the EU while Brexit is going on he should get clear written advice from the UK Home Office, DFAT and the Embassy of the country he is thinking of moving to.

                                                                        I will not say it never happens, i have my fair share of those experiences

                                                                        but not only once i saw foreigners just shouting "Pivo!!" at a waitress and then they wonder when the waitress gives them the stink eye.

                                                                        I live on top of one of the best pivnice in CZ, one waitress specifically hates foreigners that don't speak czech and - even worse - try to pay in Euro or things like that. Not only once i saw people giving up and walk away. but as a regular that at least tries to speak czech and is polite, i get treated very well by her.

                                                                        PS: being impolite as a waiter in a pivnice is part of the culture and the job description, locals know that and know how to handle it. My favorite bartender slaps me when i try to order something non-alcoholic

                                                                                      https://www.gov.uk/apply-citizenship-british-parent

                                                                                      Schengen zone countries have changed the rules on travel by some nationals in the zone, after Brexit the changes are even stricter and migration controls are being tightened by most countries in the EU, not only in the Schengen zone.

They give two scenarios - after 29th March 2019 without a deal and after 29th March 2019 with a deal.

                                                                                        You can get Right of Abode in the UK if you have a British grandparent. Right of Abode allows you to live and work in the UK however does not give you citizenship.

                                                                                        If you have Right of Abode and have lived in the UK for 5 years then you can apply for citizenship.

                                                                                        Despite this there is no clear path for citizenship based on grandparents born in the UK. This was phased out beginning in 2002. It's now direct descent.
