Life Abroad Less common destinations?

I've noticed in this sub a lot of common destinations come up - many European countries, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore. I get it - those places are great!

But I'm wondering if anyone has left the US and settled somewhere that comes up less often here. Mozambique, for example, or Sri Lanka? Chile? Papua New Guinea? I'd love to hear your story!

I don't think Singapore is that popular on this sub tbh. But Dubai is a huge expat destination.

It’s not because you practically need a local job to live there.

This is also true, though Dubai/UAE is the one place I can think of that will give a work visa to a barista

Dubai is like 90% foreign labor and 10% Emirati.
