Britain
English-speaking Europe
Britain might have left the European Union, but Europe certainly hasn't left Britain. London is the best place to be a foreigner, probably because one in four Londoners were born outside of Britain. It's also embedded with a dramatic past and steadfast traditions. Britain is also a free-wheeling centre for financial services continuing its history as a centre of global trade. It's also home and has been for the third time.
The smallest island nation in Europe and, for its size, an unparalleled place in history. Three hundred days of sun per year make tourism its primary industry with hedge funds and online gaming. The older buildings fashioned from stone contrast with newer built from concrete block. It's a mecca for a mix of tourists, expats, and pensioners.
Aotearoa
(New Zealand)
Growing up in Aotearoa (New Zealand) it's easy to take for granted the immense beauty that stunned audiences in The Lord of the Rings movies. Snow-capped mountains, deep green forests, clear blue oceans, and even golden sand if you look in the right place. Geographic isolation at its most splendid.
