where is the best place to move to?
Me and my husband currently live in england, have no kids (yet) and two dogs. we really want to move country but are finding it hard to decide which is the best place to go! im a nurse and he is a lorry driver so we want a country that has these jobs available to us. We dont speak any other languages fluently unfortunately so i dont know whether this would impact on moving to a country where english is not the predominant language. we like the outdoors, sports, animals, tv, pubs, crafts, sights, nature etc. we dont mind any whether (used to four seasons) but i guess we would like a bit more sunshine! We dislike rude people, cities-too many people. we are wanting to have children one day and our wish is to live a more 'out-door' lifestyle for them as well as us. plus to live in a 'safe' area (i know and understand no-where is completely safe), and not too over crowded. the countries we have been looking at are; Austalia USA Canada New Zealand I also really like Italy but i dont know if not speaking Italian would be too difficult to set up home there. Can you suggest your opinions on these countries and where abouts in these countries? Id actually really consider the US but have no idea which state would be best for me so if anyone out these could suggest a state based on our likes and dislikes then please do so! Thanks!

I would suggest you another option. I'm Italian but lived for some years in Scandinavia. It would be a good match with your needs for several reasons. 1-You are a nurse. In both Norway and Sweden there is a big lack of workers in the health sector. They always look for doctors and nurses from outside their countries. 2-There is no problem for the language. Their knowledge of English is impressive, especially if you compare it to southern Europe. And if you are Native English speaker, learning the local language is quite easy compared, for instance, to Italian. 3-You like outdoors, nature and sports. No better place in Europe for that. 4-You look for a safe area. Both Sweden and Norway are really safe places. When I was in Oslo I often left my car with my photographic bags on the backseat and never had bad surprises. 5-Weather is not great, ok. It's cold (mainly in Norway, since in the South of Sweden, in July and August, you'll still find more than 30°C) and in winter you don't have much light. But the Swedish summer....I have never experienced something so amazing. I really fell in love with their long, fresh and fizzy summer evenings. 6-You don't like overcrowded places. They have a very low population density. 7-You don't like rude people. They are the opposite, very quite and gentle people that generally appreciate lifestyles based on understatement. And they generally like having to deal with people from outside. Especially in Norway: they are really down to earth and their assumption is that they can always learn from foreigners. In Sweden things are a little more complicated. They don't really like so much people from the South of Europe. But they love people from UK.
