Hi Taylor....

I'm not very familiar with Europe, hopefully someone else can help with your query? I know a lot of Europeans visit Sowpub....

Language could be a factor for you. If you need a place where everyone speaks English, in Europe you'd probably have to choose the UK or Ireland. If you speak Spanish, then Spain could be an option too....

While I haven't visited Europe much, from meeting travelers, though, it seems that a lot of Europeans speak English as a second language. However, if you don't speak the "native tongue" it might be a barrier....

Downunder here in Australia isn't a bad place to be, in my opinion (though we're not in Europe!). If you can make it to Australia, many say that culturally, it's a little bit like Canada (with a warmer climate). We get both American and British influences in our culture here in Australia....

I haven't spent much time in New Zealand, but I think it's a nice place to live too. I know Bill Myers spent some time living in New Zealand.

I probably didn't help much, hopefully someone who knows more than I do about Europe can also add some comments. :)
