What is the best place in the world to live in?
What is the best country? The best city?
I get these questions very often!
What does best even mean? What’s considered good by one person, may not be that exciting for the other.
Taxes are a big concern for the majority of our audience, but not all people care about taxes wheb they’re choosing where to live.
Today, I’m sharing my outlook on what are the best places in the world- and how to arrange your life so you can make sure you take the best world has to offer.
Who are we and what do we do?

Freetown Sierra Leone.
A place to at least visit once in your life is the island of Corsica, next of Sardinia.
Good video- major issue I always run into are 1. pets I have.
2. Having young kids
3. While I want to move to a low tax country – quality of life amenity wise is pretty good in western nations etc.
Either way, thanks for making the videos!
I think every place sucks. The WEF rules em all.
The San Francisco Bay Area is colonized by Singaporeans and secedes. A low tax tough on crime government turns the city around within weeks. San Jose, with the warmer weather, is converted into a center for urban agriculture and open air beauty pageants.
Great video as always.
Good to see you in the country as it's usually cities.

It is dependent on how much you make. If you make less than 200k a year the best place is hands down Germany. It is the best bang for you buck realistically. If you make more than that then the world is your oyster and you can just travel every few months.
New Zealand, Malaysia & Portugal for 3 months each per year, and the balance 3 months spent looking for the fourth, or maybe just traveling for the sake of it.
That depends obviously on two conditions, whether you've money to move around and whether you've a partner you like enough to spend time with. As an introvert, I prefer places with less people around. As a westerner, I prefer places with free speech, very good health services, no islam or feminism. And there must be an ocean nearby. Another condition is local farming, since the food industry is poisoning us with sugar high-quality local produce is essential for health. Places that come to mind are the south of France or Spain, like Cannes and Marbella. Not cheap, but the quality of life is very high. Add a sailing yacht in a nearby marina and you've arrived.
I like Georgia, Is it perfect? No it’s not, but it’s good. I would live here even if the cost of living were higher.
The best place to live would have the women of the Philippines, food of Italy, taxes of the Cayman Islands, weather of San Diego, costs of Albania, safety of Dubai, currencies of El Salvador, manners of Japan, police of Vatican city, military of Iceland, and speed limits of Germany.
Mogadishu Somalia nice weather ,great beaches , friendly gun control environment, you can buy your domestic help or wife, lots of excitement…..
Great video Michael. I booked an appointment through the link provided but never got a confirmation. Btw, your website contact form doesn't go through (spinning wheel to infinity and beyond)
Having travelled the world, I've definitely found there to be a lot of great places to live but no perfect places. If one can pull it off financially, it definitely makes sense to spend time in multiple locations and to have backups. As we've seen in the last few years, countries around the world can change very quickly. A good place can become a bad place in only months. It's nice to diversify if one can pull it off.
Currently in Portugal. Let's see how it will go
Personally, where I feel the best, where the weather, food and lifestyle suits me the best would be the Provence, although it may not be the best place for business.
Is this not true about women also?
People still aren't considering government policy, and food security. They choose based on hype and brand name. Why would anyone want to move to Canada or Australia right now! I think it's best to have a few passports and a few residences in countries that have the least NGO/para-governmental involvement.
If money were not an issue, I think I would want to live on a 200' explorer yacht.
Awesome, Michael !!! A lot of people think Hawaii is perfect. 😎
Istanbul is great if you are earning in dollars. The Lira is super weak, and you can get very high quality products and services for literally 5-10X cheaper. I got a haircut in a super nice place with an included beard shave, head massage and wash for over 1 hour, for just 40 lira ($2.50). They are very lax with the rona stuff as well.
This is timely. I have been grappling with the idea of committing to Lisbon where the residency requirement is minimum stay of 16 months during the two period which limits my travel. That is not freedom lol
stop it with the mountains! Coming back down to earth for some of your viewers who aren't HNWI and don't have the resources to plant flags in multiple locations, the dilemma in choosing a new place (maybe others can relate to this) is trying to find the location that covers 1. where is there good work with decent income? 2. where offers affordable and comfortable accommodation through renting? I'm not sharing at my age 3. a culture that I enjoy with values. Some places hit one or two of these – eg. Spain is high on no.3 but not 1. Middle East hits 1 and 2 but not really no. 3. Australia where I'm a citizen now only matches no.1. Perhaps I can only expect to match 2 out of 3 until I have the resources to match all 3 requirements.
Funny that you’re filming the video about the best place in the world from Utah 😂
Setubal, Portugal… I guess my wife and I are still in our honeymoon period. Reasons… warm weather, safe, friendly locals, inexpensive, wonderful fresh food, tasty fish, great infrastructure, fast internet, beautiful beaches, very walkable city, friendly ex-pat community, 300 plus restaurants, cafe culture, English is pretty widely spoken and my wife is here!
“Make your life worse in order to save money“. This perfectly describes many of the foreigners I know living in Thailand. While some have genuine connections to the culture and clearly love their lives there, the majority became disillusioned, bitter once the novelty wore off. #regret
I can only agree with that. I left Germany, where I grew up, about 8 years ago. First to London, now I've been in Malta for 3 years. People often ask me if I don't miss anything from Germany (except for the high taxes of course 😉 ). But the point is, I miss things from countless countries and cities. The perfect city/country for me would probably have aspects of London, Berlin, Vienna, Barcelona, Edinburgh, Rome, Paris, Amsterdam, Prague, Bali, Istanbul, Bangkok, Monaco, Galway, Nice and much more and even if I could build that city for myself, it still wouldn't fulfil all the things I can cover by living in 3-4 countries a year. As a currency speculator who lives primarily from the market activity of the European morning to noon, different time zones are already a welcome side effect. If I want to sleep a little longer before work, I go to Dubai or Istanbul or even shift my work into the evening hours by staying in Thailand or Indonesia for two months or so. If I want to go paragliding around February, I go to Morocco or South Africa. They invented aeroplanes for a reason …
Germany
great beer, quite safe and good economy
I enjoy living/ working in Switzerland, just to live here is pretty expensive tho, so as soon as I dont need to work any more I will move somewhere far cheaper,….
What matters is what you are doing at the place, not the place itself. Every place has wonderful things to do, but most require learning so I think places familiar to you get higher points automatically.
I'm working toward this. I have a cousin that lives 6 months on a lake Maine and 6 months on the beach in Florida. Not as tax efficient as they could be but very nice. I had a former employee whose parents farmed in Wisconsin 7 months a year and then lived the off season fishing in Key West. I both cases their kids lived between the points and they got at least two good visits in a year. I aim for something like this but internationally.
Outside Europe, there is a trend were more Europeans wanna get out but we are chained to an office or remote job within Europe, our continent is pretty boring
same goes for relationships best to have 4 women – each one fulfills a different purpose/need/want. It Works.
Cape Town is a great place for January into February.
I think summers in the mountain west of the United States are the best place to live June through September.
Japan is the great place to live. Hawaii is great too but too expensive.
If money and taxes are no object, probably Malibu, California. If money and taxes are a concern, probably Dumaguete, Philippines. If only taxes, but not money is a concern, probably Monaco.
We live in Park City… Wish we could have chatted. Best place to live – is anywhere where the government leaves you alone and you have true freedom. BTW – Believe we solved the Telex problem on the forestry project.
Since I'm fluent in Spanish, I favor latin america due to the culture, climate and friendly people and of course, super hot available women (I'm single). So for me the following places are where I spend my time throughout the year.
1. San Juan del Sur, Nicaragau. My base of operations – 3 to 6 months per year
2. Medellin Colombia and Cartagena Colombia – 3 months per year between the two
3. Dominican Republic – 1 to 3 months per year
4. The Bahamas – 3 months per year
Access to the Latin Mass, a good hospital and a non-encroaching government with lower taxes are my top priorities.
Singapore
the best place is where you are right now . you have to make it work where ever you are. its ok to dream to be going to an amazing and beautiful place to live , we all can dream and dreams are great. but not everybody can get there .
probably somewhere in Europe . i loved Netherlands . Italy and south of France are amazing too. Malaysia is awesome too i miss it dearly .im stuck here in my own country now iran for now, i dream of leaving everyday. its an awesome place too but its a hell right now for reasons best left unmentioned.
From the looks of your video I'd say you're in Park City, Utah haha
I thought Lisbon was the place to go ?
