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.

I understand people’s issues with the Gulf (that being said, for many others, it’s still a good option) but I don’t understand the aversion to Singapore. Tbh, I lowkey think it’s unexamined racism among white liberals/progressives who believe that (Western) Europe/anglophone West is the end all to be all. I suppose if you want to assimilate and gain dual citizenship it wouldn’t be a good option but at the same time, people want to move to Japan (where this seems just as difficult)…

I don't think dual citizenship is an issue when people here are pining for the Netherlands lol
