Hello everyone,
So my husband and I are young, both in our early 20's. We have been talking about moving to europe for years, and are trying to narrow down a place that we would like to visit to scope out where we want to live.
My husband is in the airforce here in the USA, and we have another 3 years or so before he will be allowed to leave, or to extend his contract. We want to try and get stationed on a US airforce base somewhere in europe, ideally, but if one is not avilaible we would just move there.
Have you ever actually been anywhere in Europe?
Also, New Zealand isn't in Europe it's next to Australia.
Cambridge is an incredibly good place to either raise a family or stay on holiday. It's a cultural and historical city with low crime rates. Loads of villages on the outskirts of the city, arguably the best university in the world. Good healthcare and education and a very good public transport system. If you have any questions feel free to ask
Also, New Zealand is on the opposite side of the world from Europe.
P.S. Bear in mind that Sweden and Norway are insanely expensive and none of the three European Countries you named are English speaking. Which may or may not be a problem for you.
A lot hinges on whether you can get that usaf airbase posting. I think your best first step is to look at visas and figure out which countries, if any, will let you live and work there. "We would just move there" is not really an option.
None of your european list have very mild winters. However if you can tolerate harsh winters, Norway and Sweden have amongst the highest living standards in the world. But as with anywhere in Europe, you'd be expected to learn the language, and your language skills put you at a disadvantage for getting jobs - hopefully you have some saleable skills to counterbalance this.
