Very interesting! Cornwall is very pretty. I live in Bournemouth, which is often referred to as the St. Tropez or England because of it's beaches, weather, house prices and wealth.

My UK lawyer decided she wanted to leave and follow my tracks and head for central America/Caribbean. She then got the bug about living in a ranch in South Africa in that time, and is doing just that now and enjoying a better lifestyle. It took her under three months to pack up and sell off her legal practice and switch off the lights.

Currently there are, - not sure exactly, - but between 30 and 40 families I know of from the UK moving to Costa Rica. In addition, I can think of a number of webmasters (some on this board) heading in the same direction. When you have a "mobile biz" it's a lot easier.

Spain, Gibraltar, Greece and the Med islands etc are obvious candidates for folks living in northern Europe.

Personally... I'd go for govt stability, no wars or aggression, decent climate, does not have to be a "wealthy" country, but with decent infrastructure, friendly people (most folks are given the chance!) and not least - a location that does not bleed you dry on taxation, assuming they have any taxation. My preferences lean towards Costa Rica, Venezuela (when the problems depart) and almost any South American country where there is some stability. There are also a fair number of Caribbean islands that fit the criteria.

As a footnote, there are just too many opportunties outside of highly industrialised countries which put "conventional investment" to shame.

We moved here a couple of years back and love it. But you have to adapt to certain differences when compared to living in a city mainly due to a much slower pace of life.

The entire world is in a downward spiral.

this is great. thanks! definitely lots to keep in mind.

interesting you mention opportunities/investment. if I recall many months (years?) ago you wrote a post about a property/land investment opportunity that worked out really well for you. from what you're saying it sounds those kinds of opportunities aren't so available in industrialised countries.
