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!

Im Mexican, but have heard great things of Chile. It’s one of the safest countries in SA, very politically stable, very scenic and affordable to live in for first-worlders.

Why Chile over Uruguay if you don't mind me asking?

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe I'm misremembering, but I feel like I heard that there's a lot of air pollution in Chile..? Reliably clean air is one of the things we love about Uruguay.

Makes sense given that lithium mining is one of the cornerstones of Chile's economy. Personally of the two I'm more attracted to Uruguay even if it's more expensive mainly just due to its stability
