Switzerland can be very hard to get into, if you want to live there for years. My brother is a Swiss citizen and my mother is a widow of a swiss citizen and she just told me today the Swiss won't issue her a Visa. She was planning on having my brother attend school there, and she had found an APT to live in already. They have lots of relatives over there, but Switzerland is very very strict on who they let in. That's why its so beautiful, peaceful, and doesnt have terrorists there. I would suggest Germany, you could visit Switzerland, and live a similar lifestyle. The swiss would be more willing to issue a visa if you spoke German, but that doesnt mean you will get one. Both countries are beautiful. But all of Europe is awesome, consider living expenses too. I'd love to move to Eastern Europe, lesser traveled and known. Maybe Romania or Bosnia. And then there is Finland, Sweden, Norway, etc. The Scandanavian countries are amazing. Choose wisely!

How ironic lol I live in Switzerland and I dislike it here and all I want is to move to the US! :p we should swap!!
No seriously you're going to find it's very boring here after a while..I guess for a holiday it's nice. If you want to leave the US you should go to the UK instead.

Switzerland is the place to be! It's so peaceful here (in most places). It's extremelly safe and you never here anything about the government becaus there's never any problems. I would live in Kanton Zurich. If you want to avoid a lot of drama don't live directly in zurich but in a place like Horgen or Thalwil etc. I hope you have the money though because Switzerland is a very expensive place to live.
The only thing I dislike about my country is that they are constantly building here newer streets, more houses etc. and the noise get's annoying..

Switzerland is a great place to live. I suggest you check Zurich out, as it is said to be the best city to live in the world, according to the yearly Mercer survey.

There is a large English-speaking community in Switzerland, that gather in www.englishforum.ch. If you register there for free you can read a lot about other people's experience living and dealing with daily matters in Switzerland.

No wars. Whatsoever. Really.
They speak German, French, Italian, and Romansh. Learn one.
Great chocolate, amazing locks, they are bordered by mountains, virtually impossible to attack.
Swiss Alps!
