What's your ideal
expat destination?

Where should you live abroad?

The question has a measurable side. Four factors separate a destination that works from one that does not: what a month of living actually costs, how your income is taxed, the climate you function best in, and the language and lifestyle you want day to day. The quiz weighs your six answers on these factors across more than 100 cities, using the same dataset as the cost of living and budget calculator tools.

What you get

A ranked top 3 with an estimated monthly budget range for each city, the criteria from your own answers that drove each match, and the close runners-up. The result carries a shareable link, and every recommendation can be checked against the detailed tools: compare the shortlist side by side, or see how the full field ranks on the best cities for expats page. The scoring is documented on the methodology page.
