    Yeah, as long as it wasn't permanent, hell yeah.

    I'm a history buff, so somewhere in western Europe for me. Maybe Germany, Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Denmark, Italy....I'm good with any of those.

    I'm working in Peru right now. I have been told by my boss that if I want to stay longer that that wouldn't be a problem.
    My dream location would be Berlin, Germany followed Rio and then Budapest.

    I can live with Peru for the time being.

    I'd work for an American company in a foreign country.

    Second. I can't think of any other place I'd want to be.

    There are things about Japan that are frustrating about it, and it's expensive, but I would like to live there about 5 or years.

    Nope. I love visiting other countries, but I'd rather live here.

    This is a catch .22 for me... if I was fortunate enough to get my job of choice, I would prefer to have it in America. Maybe London, Paris, or Moscow would be good alternatives.

    If I could have the same standard of living in southern France, I would move in a heart beat. The problem is that I would have to make a lot of money to have the same standard of living.

    I've been working in the East Caribbean for the past few years. I've enjoyed a lot of it here. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be moved to Africa in the upcoming years. That would be a big adjustment for me though. My dream is to work in Scandinavia.

    Yes. Vancouver (Canada) or Sydney (Australia).

    These two countries have a similar vibe to living in America. Of course, it'd have to be temporary. Otherwise I'd stay in the US and travel abroad like I normally do.

    But it's not the job of your choice - it's the country of your choice. Your job would be equivalent to your current one.

    No need to go throwing awkward moments around haphazardly.
