    Costa Rica. Lovely country with lovely people. They do not have a national military; this was a deliberate action by their government after civil unrest decades ago.

    That depends what you wanna do and where you wanna live. If you’re not sure, look for working holiday kinds of programs and try them on for size. It also depends what languages you speak, or want to speak.

    If you only speak English, perhaps The Netherlands? Lovely place, okay folk and overall cheap for the quality of life provided (compared to France and Belgium, for instance).

    Try Vancouver, Canada.

    We’re always looking for good teachers here and left leaning works very well with the culture here

        Uff… I’m European, lived in Mexico for decades and now live in Vancouver and let me tell you… I visited Toronto once and will not again, to me (personally) it’s a dystopian car parking lot.

        Not saying anything bad about the people, they were all lovely and so, but the city, uff, it’s a fugly carbrainwreck

        Sorry, just my personal opinion

          I know of a few people who didn’t like it when they visited, and every single one of them said they drove everywhere. Yes there’s parking lots everywhere (mostly underground bc snow), but you don’t need a car. You need to experience it on foot and by street car, that’s how you find all the little hidden gems. The transit will get you most places.

          There’s also a lot of greenery and parks everywhere. Trinity Bellwoods and Queen’s are my favorites.

          Torontonian here - housing cost is out of control. News articles downplay it, saying “you only have to make 70k/year to live comfortably in Toronto”. This is completely false. I lived this. 70k/year in Toronto might get you a bachelor apartment at 1700/month. Plus utilities, plus groceries, plus internet/phone (yes you need this in order to get a job anywhere). Plus saving for retirement. tl;dr: unless you come from a wealthy family or are already significantly wealthy without having to rely on a job, Toronto is not an easy place to live. Beautiful, safe, and friendly, but at high cost. Job market is not great right now either. Companies are not all hiring remotely.
