Not sure I can add much to the answers below but will try. You are not going to be able to increase your quality of life above that of Germany by moving closer to the equator, at least not by most general quality of life metrics. However, it sounds like you are specifically looking for the combination of sun + lower cost. In that regard I’d look at the following. Keep in mind you will likely end up moving back to Germany eventually from most of these, be it because you require health or elder care or certain educational opportunities for your kids if you have any. Panama,
Nicaragua,
Ecuador,
Costa Rica,
Malta,
Malaysia,
Bali,
Spain & Baleares,
Portugal. If you’re willing to compromise on the “sun factor”, I would take a closer look at the following: Austria,
Slovenia,
Estonia,
Czech Republic,
South Korea,
Taiwan. It sounds to me that you also want a country where you get by in English and/or German easily. That should narrow down the first list above quite a bit. |
