If it weren't for the cold winters, Canada would be prime, especially anything in Ontario and eastward for the time zone. The quality of life is fantastic and if you're tired of being packed into a densely populated area, things are alot more mellow here (except around Toronto area but even then I don't think it quite compares to the cramped feeling of central London etc)
If I could move Vancouver to the east It'd be that hands down. But unfortunately I lack the powers (for now) to do such a thing.
I was looking at Melbourne because it looked like a giant, tropical version of Ottawa. But I think it'd be 'too' big and the beaches aren't as good as Sydney.
The guy raving about Malta really got my interested however. I was looking online for a while and it looks gorgeous. I honestly can't say if I'd ever feel trapped or not being on an island that far out into the sea but the slower pace of life in a constantly warm climate sounds amazing.
An asian timezone would be pretty amazing since you can hit all three markets if you've had enough red bull but I personally don't think living full-time in an Asian country would be comforting. To visit sure, I'd have fun but could I amalgamate and enjoy life 24/7 in a country so different than mine? Not sure...
The other thing I wanted to comment on was I was reading some immigration websites and a large amount of them were saying a requirement for some visas was a job offer...What's stopping me from setting up a corporation myself and offering myself a job?

Gatineau to Ottawa

Overall I have to say I'd have to stick with the homeland. Besides the frigid stretch of January to March, I can't fathom living anywhere else. I spent 5 years in Ottawa and loved every single day of it.
When you walk downtown it looks exactly like it does on a postcard. There's no air brushing on those things. You can take a picture with a cellphone and it'd look as good as a post card. It's in the Eastern Time Zone so you're in the same slot as New York. London time is painfully early and frankly just not doable unless you're an insomniac but one major market from within a country of a volitile pair still isn't too much to complain about. (I trade USD/CAD pretty heavy)
If you can afford Monaco then sure, who wouldn't want to live there? But realistically, Eastern side of Canada is great. Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, Quebec City is all pretty fantastic.
My actual international experience is quite limited so I apologise if I come across bias but hey, half of this thread was anyways so whatever
