It’s no secret that I’ve often thought of the possibility of living in France or Switzerland. Last year, I even looked into jobs at the UN and the WHO in Geneva. Yes, I speak French and yes I have an MBA, which qualifications make me somewhat employable in a management role in a multinational organization.
And speaking of the UN, each year the UN Development Program releases an ordered list of the best countries in the world to live*. France and Switzerland are in the top ten. (The US fell a spot to land at 13th).
- Norway
- Australia
- Iceland
- Canada
- Ireland
- the Netherlands
- Sweden
- France
- Switzerland
- Japan
How Iceland got on that list I’ll never know. Places not to live? The bottom four are:
- 179th: Central African Republic
- 180th: Sierra Leone
- 181st: Afghanistan
- 182nd: Niger
Where in the world would you like to live? Oh, and yes, I’ve asked Rach and she’s okay with living overseas.
* Here’s the complete 2 009 UNDP country list
Maybe we should live in Russia considering we look like Russian supermodels.
They must have compiled that list before Iceland’s economy completely fell apart.
Buck the trend man… who cares what they say about the “worst” countries to live. You’ve never been one to conform.
Think about it… if you live in Afghanistan, you’d be able to use your guns a lot more. And even swords!
Yes lets live in Afghanistan, then I can let myself go completely because I will be wearing this.
