    If you could Expat Anywhere in the world as an American where would it be?

    May be time to leave. Always considered another country.

    Family of 4 wife and kids speak Spanish.

    I’m thinking Panama, Costa Rica, Belize and Italy ( if Italy ever recovers)

    Anyone have any thoughts?

      I would never leave America unless I had to. Everything I love is here. I could stay here and feel like I left the country.

      But if I had to, I'm going to southwest Canada. Victoria preferably.

              Trust me it’s not a decision I take lightly. I’m an American thru and thru and not sure how i would fair in a new culture without my creature comforts of home.

                  Costa Rica hasn't been a good expat destination for 10 years

                      The questions I would ask of you, what are you looking to accomplish out of a move to another country. Define what qualities in life and or business are most important to you and your family. How is your health? Do you have a solid flow of income coming in regularly? Will you need a new source of income when you move? Will it be earned online or via a brick and mortar type business. How important is it for you to retain your current citizenship? Is traveling Visa free important to you?

                          I've lived and work on 4 different continents.

                          For you, with speaking Spanish, your choices are:

                          1. Colombia - Love Bogota, love Medellin. And there's way more than that. Depends if you like the city, what weather you like - so many choices.
                          2. Panama would be the other end of the spectrum. They use the dollar, huge US influence. Easy enough to get citizenship thru investment. Population 4 million - very manageable.
                          3. In between those two choices is Ecuador. They use the dollar but don't like Americans. I really like Guayaquil!

                          I wouldn't recommend Costa Rica...

                              Why there is no Spain in your choice list ?

                                              Being an expat myself one thing I can highly recommend is: Go to whatever place something like 3 months first and try to live a normal daily life there.

                                              Too many people who decide after a 2 week vacation with beach, drinks and eating out every day "this is a place where I want to stay forever"

                                              and then they move and then reality hits them

                                                  Too little information to give any advice, what is it your looking for, investing, relaxing, partying, reduction in living cost, retiring, in need of job? what climate, so many more choices than listed here.
