If you had to emigrate, what places would you want to emigrate to?

Of places I've been, maybe coastal western Balkans? (Though I haven't actually been to the coast itself, unless we say Venice is Balkan) I'd say Georgia but I'm an imperialist (Russian speaker) by their standards and I'm realistic about my low chances of learning Georgian. Canada, I guess.

Of places I haven't been (and thus can still idealize), conal South America. UK for work reasons.

I do frequently scan for NGO gigs in greater postcommunist Eurasia, but I don't consider many of those as permanent options for resettlement (sans marriage).

I already have an "in" with the Home Office in the UK, and when I took the sample citizenship tests for the UK and Canada, I somehow did better on the UK one despite having grown up just a 2 hour drive from Vancouver. So the UK is probably my best bet.

But if I'm thinking less practically, I'd be happy living in the Balkans, especially Bosnia or Romania.

Let's start a "risk analysis" firm based in Sarajevo.

And as far as I can tell, the UK is better for Eurasia-focused risk gigs than the US.

Pristina would be far superior.  Kosova is the Future.  Especially for "risk-analysis" in the Balkans.  lol

And not to mention, Greece is only a 4-hour drive away....and traversing through some of the most jaw-droppingly beautiful countryside on God's Green Earth through (the fake) Macedonia.

Pristina, unfortunately, is rather polluted, so I imagine it'd make for a bit worse of a reception for major clients. Having to learn Albanian is another drawback.
