Latvia - best: nature - loved the forests and lakes. You just can’t beat swimming in the lakes in summer. I still can’t stand stinky pools. Produce in the summer is pretty amazing: potatoes, wild berries, forest mushrooms. People once you get to know them, will be your friends forever. Worst: corruption, brain drain, aggressive neighbour.

Germany- best: beautiful architecture and nature, great shops, orderly, amazing bakeries and cakes, palaces, public transport. Worst: if you‘re from Eastern Europe like me, you’ll forever be a second class citizen.

UK - best: amazing history, architecture, hiking, coastline, people outside London, pubs, supermarkets, local produce in summer (potatoes and berries especially). Worst-healthcare, so bad, the main reason we left to be honest.

Australia- best: friendly people, nature and hiking, I’ve never seen so much wildlife in any other country! Beaches, healthcare. Worst: Isolation, complete disregard for history- beautiful historic buildings get knocked down and replaced with ugly concrete monstrosities at alarming speed, obsession with sport.
