Where would you move?
I've been thinking about this topic for awhile myself, but I thought I'd throw it out to the forum and see what people think. Maybe I'll get a new perspective on the matter.
Where would you move if you could? More specifically, if you were looking to shift into a much more self-sufficient, permaculture-oriented lifestyle, and you didn't have any particular attachment to a given country or location due to other matters, where would you go? (Don't assume you've won the lottery....that makes the question much less interesting.) Where we live now is problematic simply because of cost of living, and buying into an intentional community is not really in our plans, even were such available.
Sometime in the not very far future, my wife and I are planning to travel (wwoof, helpx, hostels, camping, etc.) to different places around the world, and one of the goals I have for this is to think about where we might want to move. I already have a rough set of criteria to frame my thinking about locations, but input from others would be really helpful, especially as most of you are further along with this lifestyle than we are, and have perhaps a different perspective on what's important and what's not.
I'll resist posting my own list of criteria at the start so as to not bias the responses.
Thanks,
sz
