    Edit: the name of the thread saved before I got to finish it!

    I would love to move away for a year but with so many great places out there I can't decide where to go. I'd like somewhere vibrant with warm people. Any thoughts?

    Have you anymore criteria? It might help suggestions if you provide a little more info. Do you plan to work? Cold/warm climate a preference etc.

    Yes I'd be working, I'm a social care worker so would be doing that over there hopefully. Climate wise I don't mind!

    I don't want to be a buzz kill but if you plan on working outside of the EU then your options are reduced big time. Look up working holiday visa's on the department of foreign affairs website (dfa.ie) for a list of countries Ireland has visa agreements with.

    There is some great options there though.

    Great advice, thank you. :)

    If it was my pick, I'd go with Hawaii but it can be pretty expensive to live there.

    Not New Zealand. It'll be summer in late November and you will get sunburnt in minutes, live in a sweat box and pay a fortune for the pleasure!

    Speaking as someone currently living and working in Australia, it's a good job there's a lot of people from countries other than Australia here.

    Also, not all Australians are arrogant dicks, and as a country it's a fantastic place to live. I'd highly recommend it, OP.

    I recently spent time in Munich. Lovely place. Very warm, still rains quite often enough to make Irish people feel comfortable. Very dog friendly, you can bring your dogs into restaurants and such so long as they're well behaved.

    The only barrier would be that you should speak German. It's possible to get around without it, but it's recommended that you speak it.
