Brittany keeps Portree (Scotland), Aveiro (Portugal), and Stockholm (Sweden), while considering Massachusetts as a potential U.S. move. Josh keeps Ghent (Belgium) and Portree, and swaps Toronto for Japan (possibly Osaka), discussing why walkability, transit, and lifestyle matter more than proximity to home. They reflect on recent travel (Vegas, Nashville), a tornado in their area, lessons about mindset, spontaneity, and being present, and discuss moving motivations including U.S. politics and using the East Coast as a stepping stone.

    Where Would You Move with a Million Dollars?

    Send us Fan Mail If We Had $1,000,000: Where Would We Move? (Lillehammer, Norway vs. Lucerne, Switzerland) Brittany and Josh host a hypothetical “million-dollar” move discussion, choosing specific cities they haven’t visited yet. Josh picks Lillehammer, Norway, citing family roots, scenic valley access to nature, and Norway’s high rankings in happiness, health, and life expectancy. He compares Lillehammer’s income, taxes, rent, utilities, groceries, transportation, and healthcare costs to Menasha, Wisconsin, arguing that public transit and low healthcare expenses can leave more net savings despite higher taxes. He also highlights Norwegian food, salmon, coffee culture, and a potential language requirement for work. Brittany chooses Lucerne, Switzerland for its walkable medieval old town, Swiss Alps views, bridge over the Reuss River, farm-to-table and fine-dining food culture, chocolate shops, nearby hikes, music festivals, and easy train access to Zurich and Bern, while noting Switzerland’s high cost of living. 00:00 Welcome and the premise 00:41 Rules and past favorites 01:51 Josh picks Lillehammer 03:19 Norway costs and quality of life 08:38 Nature trains and fall vibes 10:10 Norwegian food and coffee culture 11:40 Language hurdle and wrap up 14:26 Brittany picks Lucerne 15:08 Old Town Alps and foodie finds 19:24 Hikes festivals and nearby cities 23:12 Costs transit and final thoughts 28:54 Outro and where to follow @WSMHtravels
