You thought you should go north? Try south of the border – before that wall makes it harder. Yes, Mexico takes number one, with a low cost of living and high rate of satisfaction overall. Plus most expats find it easy to make friends. With over 700,000 expats already there, you’ll be in good company.

2. Singapore

There’s not a big population of expats in Singapore, but it’s got a big spend on healthcare, plus favorable tax laws, and the best healthcare in Asia (6th best in the world). It’s not free, but it’s more than affordable. Plus, have we mentioned the amazing food?

3. Canada

Oh Canada. You’re an expat cliche, but for a reason. Canada ranked first on healthcare and cost of living, and if you’re averse to learning another language, you’re in luck, eh?

4. Italy

Did you know Italy’s new prime minister is kicking culo (Italian butt) to organize the country? Or that their health care system is one of the best in the world, and largely free? Plus, carbonara.

5. Ecuador
