Preferred destinations don't always rhyme with countries where it is easy relocating to.

Two videos in this article: one with the preferred destinations Americans would like to relocate to. The second one depicts 16 countries with an accessible visa policy where Americans can settle easily.

The lists do intersect but between dream and reality there can be limitations. Often a tourist visum is easy to obtain, but a permanent residency visum, a work visum can be daunting.

The channel featured here is Amalia and JP, a couple "slow travelers", doing the 'Shengen shuffle' as it is called. A tourist visum for the Shengen area is for 90 days maximum and it also requires a full 90 days 'cooling period' before a new entry is allowed. After Bulgaria and Romania were included in the Shengen area, the number of options is narrowing. Some Balkan states remain out and so does Turkey. In the South-West, Morocco is an option. The UK meets the criterion on the opposite side. Norway, Iceland and Switzerland, though not in the EU, are part of the Shengen area. EU member states Ireland and Cyprus still aren't.
