New Zealand
I went scuba diving in Belize. Tiny nation just south of Mexico. Former British colony, so everyone speaks English. Very nice climate. They have some of the best diving in the world, because they are next to a huge coral system. There are Mayan ruins and some interesting caves.
Essentially, get a list of commonwealth nations from Wikipedia and select what sort of thing you want to experience.
India for example also has all the climates and almost everyone speaks English. And they have more cultural backgrounds than the US, while being more affordable to visit. And everything is packed closer together but still plenty large enough to never see it all.
Or the Bahamas is great when it’s not hurricane season.
This guy colonizes!
jk, that’s actually a great idea
UK, Germany, Scandinavia, Netherlands, Philippines are great, and all have many English speakers.
Can personally attest to Denmark having loads of English speakers.
I encountered exactly one person in my travels there who did not speak fluent English.
I’d learned a little, so I tried to use Danish to order things, ask directions etc, and everyone replied in perfect English.
I live in Denmark. I’ve met a few people who don’t speak any English but they’re not Danish :D
Also it’s a fun language learning trope here that it’s hard to practice because people will just reply in English if your pronunciation isn’t good/it’s obvious you’re not Danish. It’s not ubiquitous but it definitely exists sometimes
It depends what you want to see from the US. The US is massive and there is a huge difference in visiting NYC vs visiting Omaha.
It also depends where you are. For example if you’re in the EU then visiting places like Paris or Amsterdam are probably out as they are accessible as a day trip.
If you’re looking for an alternative to the USA’s big landscapes and natural parks then Canada is your best bet. If you’re looking for more cultural stuff and things to do in cities then Canada only has a few nice cities and they’re spread across the country from coast to coast.
Toronto is fantastic though. I’m moving there soon, I love that city
I have the opposite opinion. I have no idea how one could live there and be happy. What a cesspool
I’ve been to Toronto many times and talked to loads of people who have either lived there or visited there many times. You’re the first person I’ve ever heard say that!
I’ve heard it described as “NYC run by the swiss” by lifelong Torontoans. The grass is always greener as they say, but it definitely has a lot to offer over NYC in the way of cleanliness and habitability.
I’ve never been to NYC. In general I would say I’m not a fan of big cities. I guess I’m biased though.
I will say Toronto has some very nice areas where I wouldn’t mind living. They’re extremely expensive though!
Siberia, Russia or Svalbard, Norway
You were planning on going to rural Alaska, right?
New Zealand
Nah, chock full of kiwis.
Is it expensive? Want to go one day
Cost of living is crazy there
If you’re concerned about language barriers then Singapore is great.
Westralia.
Technically still part of Australia but it’s far enough away from all the other cunts that it feels like another country.
