If you were free to live in any country in the world, without any visa/work permit restrictions, and with an income which allowed you to live a very comfortable life and also save money, which country would you choose, and why?

All other considerations would be according to the country of your choosing, e.g. education, healthcare, taxation, climate, crime, the price of cheese and wine etc.

Honey, I've won the lottery. Get packing.

Do I pack for the beach, or the mountains?
