I would happily move from the US south to Ireland. My wife and I went for our 10 year anniversary and it was the most magical place I’ve ever been. Freezing cold temperatures at times during our visit and still, the hills were still lush emerald green, the loughs glistened in the sunlight, we walked some incredible river trails and crossed stone bridges, walked and lived amongst the ancient history of castles and forts all across the north and through the center of Ireland. We spent 4ish hours a day driving from castle hotel to castle hotel, I never expected the drive to be one of my favorite parts of the trip. Deep forest to tall swaying grassland; sheer cliffs, hills, and mountains; rivers, lakes, and the sea. Just utterly, unbelievably beautiful. I think we’d sell our house and all our worldly possessions to live in a shack, if we could emigrate tomorrow.

Toss in there the benefit of living in the EU, but in reach of the British and Scottish countryside… Leave behind hidden US sales taxes for clearly defined pricing with VAT, ditch the nightmare of the US system for the EU healthcare system, there’s so much else to love.
