If money was not an issue, would you move to an entirely different state or country? (lemmy.world)

If yes, where would you move to?

If no, why not?

I ask this as someone who has moved around a lot (5 states) for better working opportunities. I often hear people say they wish they could leave their current city/state/country, but money is often (understandably) an issue.

New Zealand is very weird for an American. Its miles away from everything and the cities are tiny, of which there aren't many.

The culture seems to be quite grating for Americans. It's hard to get a lot of things and stores and such close early, doesnt fit well with American consumerism.

People are nice but not terribly friendly or social even in small towns. A lot of people do quiet activities like solo hiking.
