Subject: Re: Best “escape” country for a US citizen
From what I've heard of people living in Malta, one the main
problems is that it's a small, boring place to live. You would
definitely want to take an extended holiday there first.

The other problem is the EU (as of April 2025) considers Malta's
"golden passport" program illegal and violates EU law.

If you move to a major city in the EU, the language barrier
will be less of an issue. In Lisbon, for example, almost
everyone under the age of 40 is fluent in English, which is
more widely spoken as a second language than Spanish, despite
Spain being our closest neighbor.

For me, one of the appeals of moving to a foreign country
was the opportunity to learn a new language. This is a
slight problem here, as everyone's English is better than
my Portuguese, so I have to actively seek out older folks
to practice my limited conversation skills. ;-)
