in the Netherlands ''i want to move to Spain'' is a very common retirement plan
In Germany it's Bulgaria. Or Hungary if you want to rage against the system.
Southern France probably is probably also a popular retirement spot.
Back in my day (1648), all we did was move Spain from us! Today, this generation wants to move back to Spain?!
Those darn millennials!
I wonder, is it actually the mainland of Spain where they want to retire, or Canary Islands?
@@dittikke As a Hungarian I can totally confirm this, mainly in our summer vacation place, next to Lake Balaton you can see a lot of Germans
As a german, the germans googling italy the most makes a lot of sense, since like 50% of all germans visit italy during the summer and easter holidays
or, you know.. it was from 2020 when the pandemic started.. of course alot of people googled italy and sweden
I thought Spain would be more popular since its where most Europeans (from British to even Russians) want to spend their retirement.
Barbarians visiting the Roman Empire?
@@EatMyShortsAUnah it’s 1939 germans and 1939 Italians 🧐🤔💀💀
The baltic states have always been wary of russia, even before the war. Therefore it makes sense that it's googled the most.
yup
Yeah, we mostly keep tabs on Russia because they are a mad genocidal terrorist state right on our borders.
googling my drunk neighbours name to see if he's been talking publicly about plans to annex my apartment again
@@ibx2cat your apartament rightfully belongs to him, because of history and stuff!
False, the people googling Russia are RUSSIANS that live in those countries.

I'm honoured that you instinctively went to my city as the example of a cold Canadian city. Apparently not cold enough to discourage immigrants from moving here though.
All those poor Filipinos
As Indian (especially punjabi) I can confirm that we really love Canada as soon as pass 12 grade ur given two option give entrance exam or move to Canada
As an english teacher who would regularly teach Punjabi people the past few years, the ubiquitous dream was Canada, although one person settled on the UK because the linguistic requirement was apparently less, and a couple eyed Australia while acknowledging that Canada would be nice
As a Canadian I can confirm you are all here
@@champagne.future5248 first we are going to control British Columbia and then the entire nation ,so stay alert .
RIP Canada 🙏 🇨🇦 you really are turning into an indian colony
Good luck man
As a norwegian i question the valitidy of the "Want to move to" map. Almost everyone I've ever spoken to has expressed absolute joy that they don't live in the U.S.A.
EDIT - I do realize now that most Norwegians I speak to are the ones who wouldn't move, so....
The ones who move to America are Software Engineers and Programmers.
Those always go to America no matter what.
As they'll earn enough to pay the ABSURD Medical bills there.
@@magikmann3952 America is for the Rich, basically.
@@magikmann3952 hmm
@@spaghettiisyummy.3623 I've considered making that move but I don't really want to live in America. But my salary could double. Hard choice.
@@markusklyver6277 If you're a highly skilled professional, go for it! :D
If you're a minimum Wage boy, avoid it.
Yeah... I don't think eastern Europe Google's Russia because they *like* Russia...
why not? Have you eaten too much propaganda to imagine that this could be?
As a half Estonian and half lithuanian, can confirm.
I bet the "where do people want to move to" for Sweden and Finland wanting to move to Spain is for retirement purposes or even buying a vacation home there.
Yes, it's mostly old people wanting to move to Spain. When they were young, Spain was probably the first non-Nordic country they had been to. Going to Spain on holiday was extremely popular in the 1960s and early 70s.
As an Englishman my favourite countries are Australia and New Zealand due to cricket and rugby but the Republic of Ireland is a great country where you randomly end up drinking beers with. 👍
I love how honest he is with how he will use the money from Patreon 🤣
He'll need to make a lot more Patreon appeals to upgrade to a Savile Row suit :)
I would have definitely made the argument that using the money to pay yourself a salary definitely supports the channel.
Us portuguese like to go to the Netherlands to experience how developed they are, they're attractive, weirdly flat terrain and you can just don't even bother with bs if you wanna be a bit cheeky either in coffee shops or red light district. I mean... as I am describing I realize once again how odd and marvelous it is.
Portuguese people are the best, cause we are from the same family, and than France😍the rest are average
Thats fun to hear, greeting from the Netherlands
I really like your satiric honesty. 😅👍
Imagine Spain being actually rich, with low unemployment rates and higher salaries... we would own the world. But, it still is a nice place to live and travel :)
Spain is rich, just very stale economy. Not a lot of dynamism, so money just sits in the vaults of rich people
Looking good toycat. I picked up the suit jacket this week, too. Class it up. 👏
As a Ukrainian, I can tell that we googled Russia not because we like it lol :D
And same for living - it's pretty typical postcolonial relationship with territorial center-based empires (like Ottomans, Moscow, etc. - the ones that continuously expanded from their centers.).
Nations Russia conquered in 18-19-20 century were heavily russified (meaning they were dissolved in indescribable Russian culture) by various methods but for this case most important one is moving Russians to this territories and moving representatives of russified nations out.
Therefore, you have many Russians living in those countries and many representatives of those countries living in Russia. Ukraine is probably the biggest country on Russia's list of targets and has been Russian top-1 priority for a few centuries so there you have a lot of Ukrainians living in Russia - and it's just happy coincidence that they still identify themselves as Ukrainians. It is not cultural ties nor love for the empire. At least, not something historically natural. Although if the process of russification ended a few centuries ago, it may start to seem to be "historically natural" - like those many ancient peoples absorbed by empires long enough time ago.
You can even still see the same thing with Turkey and Bulgaria/Macedonia. Even tho their turkification ended more than 100 years ago.
I'm sorry if my terminology isn't very clear because I studied this subject in French initially.
You're actually able to explain yourself very well, I was surprised by how good your English is.
As for what you described, that's what I expected, to be honest. Subjugation of local culture is sadly what plagued the majority of Post-Soviet countries, and especially Ukraine. I remember when people just called it a smaller version of Russia, even after the initial annexation of Crimea. To me, that was always unsettling considering that Ukrainians do claim to be culturally distinct. When I started looking into Ukrainian culture I realized that the difference between Ukraine and Russia is actually a lot greater than people realize.
I'm rooting for your country, and the preservation of your culture. The Russian invasion has proven that you Ukrainians are a strong and courageous society. Sending weapons to brave men and women fighting for the nation is - as Zelenskyy said - an investment for peace.
You are a strong group of people and I admire you very much.
Слава Україні. 🇳🇱❤🇺🇦
@@Tyme_Whyrlwynd thank you for your kind words and your support! it means a lot to us and it's one of the things that give Ukrainians strength to continue the struggle which I hope will be over soon❤
btw, I see a lot of support coming from Netherlands. Are there any particular reasons for that? It's very heartwarming and I plan to visit your country and learn more about it!
Thanks. I wondered about the Bulgaria-Turkey connection.
@@YaPinGYouTu Our country has generally been very tolerant towards foreign citizens, and especially Ukrainians, considering the unjustifiable brutality of Russia's full-scale invasion. We also sent two of our ships to the Ukrainian navy. There are Ukrainian flags visible from windows in pretty much every street in Amsterdam, and I hear a lot of Ukrainian and Russian being spoken by refugees. Whenever I hear any Ukrainian or Russian, I immediately say "Слава Україні", even to a random passerby. So far, I have not encountered anyone in the street who supports the invasion, and the only response I got was "Героям Слава", and I always smile in return.
I know that Ukraine has been devastated as a nation. However, I think that if Ukrainians cannot return to their home country, that they should at least be allowed to stay in the European Union. As a people group, Ukrainians are my heroes, even though I have zero ancestral ties to the nation. As someone with both Russian and Ukrainian friends (of course the Russians I know are openly against the invasion their government started), I hope the absolute best for both. A free and independent Ukraine, and a free, non-imperialist and democratic Russia who will provide full war reparations to Ukraine. I'm sure a lot of anti-war Russians can agree here.
The people moving out from Bulgaria or Macedonia are ethnic turks. And even they mostly stopped going there, choosing Germany directly.
With which country do the citizens of a specific country like the most.
For Czechia it’s definitely Slovakia. We literally have a man holding up a sign with “We love Slovakia” in a textbook. At this point I’ve heard so many people say how amazing and beautiful Slovakia is I’m baffled why they haven’t moved there yet.
(Austria, Germany and Switzerland are also very high on the list, mainly for jobs and money tho.)
In the UK we definitely love Spain and The nordics a lot.
Balconing
SPANIARDS ALSO LOVE THE UK.
You can always do a reverse image search on the map just to be sure, I assume you'd easily find the source for that
Hello from Australia. We have the biggest Maltese community in the world outside of Malta. Many migrants from there arrived after WW2. It's very common to have friends with the surname Spiteri. One of their favourite snack foods are these cheese twist things called Twisties, and they are actually Australian and we invented by our national science agency called the CSIRO. They have become huge in Malta proper and most Maltese people see them as very culturally Maltese, even though they're very much Aussie.
The map in 6:32, is a map about where Spanish is more widely used than English.
I want link to it but youtube keeps deleting my comments with the link for some reason.
ToyCat going for the John Wick look just in time for the 4th movie
searching a country on google doesn't mean that you are fascinated by the culture. For example Greece searching up Turkey isn't that much for love of the culture, quite the opposite actually.
I love this kind of content
6:56 He must know that he’s covering up the key after talking about the map with no key

This could also be searchs of GI and US servicemen being stationed in Japan
Or even weebs.

The uk is a terrible place to move to, bad weather, under paid jobs and over priced property. We don’t even have Queen Elizabeth II anymore. Massive respect for Japan and St Lucia, I hope we offer good services for people that change their minds haha
So true
LOTS of Maltese in Australia. I now have a vague understanding of where on the islands most large settlements are.
If I remember correctly statistics for my country, Poland, are that we like the most Czechs, Slovakians, Italians and Americans
Hungarians too and btw almost everyone I know in Poland doesn’t like Germany so idk why Germany is there
Nope. Not Poland. Poland is anti American. The feeling is not returned. We Americans hate Poland. Poland should be kicked out of NATO since it is such a shitty ally. Poland betrayed America by being allies with Iran. Poland’s neo fascist government supports Putler and his RuZZian orcs. Poland is anti American. Poland hates us Americans and America. We Americans hate Poland.
I'm English and for me the Netherlands and Germany are my favourite countries, the Dutch and Germans are our Brothers we all have very similar culture and are all Germanic people 🏴❤🇩🇪❤🇳🇱
Shoutout to Japan and St Lucia.
Your perspective of canadian winters are a reach to say the least. I live in southern ontario and get winters far more mild then the american midwest or northeast.
Makes sense I'm Australian but my Dads from England, my husbands mums from England , my best friends dads English, my boss is English u get the picture but other than my boss they all moved in the 60s n 70s when it was £10 to imigrate
Seems pretty legit that lots of counties like Canada. The people seem friendly and the landscapes are spectacular, and they don’t have the crazy gun violence like their neighbours.
The funny thing is most Canadians I know (including myself) would rather move to the US.
It’s more than gun violence. I don’t blame people for the overwhelming majority choosing Canada over the United States.
You should go back and redo the states that hate other states map, there are some funny tidbits on it. Like South Carolina hating itself, New Jersey hating everyone, and the Midwest being the Balkans
Talks about how important map keys are, stands in front of the map key the whole time 6:51
I'm just fascinated with how toycat talk in a way you can't either be sure he's joking or straight talking 😂
I'm glad you acknowledged the suit
“Maps without keys, amirite”, as he stands in front of the key
I love your videos from Malta
That map with the blue counties that you don't have a key for is where there are more people who speak Spanish than English.
No we speak English in America.

In France I get ads for Canadian study programs. On tv you see ads about other countries but they are more straightforward about it, "come to marocco its magical, look at this woman in the snow (we are not contractually obligated to provide you with snow) "
You know guys Russia and turkey are traditional Eastern European rivals their rivaly is old but now both ruled by dictators and Now both sometimes cooperative but sometimes enemies their rivaly continues in Syria but they both were always neutral against each others .I recently learn about these rivals just search Russo Turkish wars oh my goodness 😂 they fought twelve separate wars with each other
as a russian I can say that russians love Turkey and our government has a positive attitude towards this country, a lot of income from tourism in Turkey comes from Russia + as far as I know, Russian-Turkish couples are not uncommon
Awesome 💯💪

Damn, toycat lookin snazzy
Toycat Im sorry but Spain is in the list of countries people want to move to because of Latin America, the only countries which are exceptions are Sweden and the Netherlands, and I think if there would be more data more countries like Paraguay or Honduras would probably also add to the number
You told in another video that your grandma was from Sri Lanka, it's not the first time it came up :) But I'm still suprised about it haha ^^
I was thinking the same thing.
Lol this is pretty accurate. I see a lot of Swedes here, down in the states lol
Sweden is one of the few countries that dont straight up bash america for no reason, like other countries lol. I love these guys
As someone from New Jersey, I can confirm that the yellow means they hate New Jersey. 6:04 (but they still vacation here in the summers)
The suit
As a person who was born in the Republic of California, the countries I'm most likely to move to are Nevada or Oregon. But I really like my country anyway. Haha
Nevada or even Oregon aren't considered countries, they are states.
Korean media is extremely popular in the middle east. UAE wanting to move to Korea is probably an effect of this, but it's like Americans wanting to move to Japan. They might google "how to move to Japan" or "how to move to South Korea" but they never really actually intend to do so.
Portuguese have gone to France especially since the 60's due to dictatorships in both Spain and Portugal until mid 70s. In terms of google searches, Portugal probably google Spain to search for cheap holidays. Nowadays the most googled country in the UK is probably Rwanda 😂
Canada definitely advertises moving there hard. I don't see a lot of ads, but one place I do see them, instagram has tons for Canada.
Toycat is dressed to impress 👍
this video ended for me when the map showed quebec liking ontario lmao
I clicked on the video, started a game, glanced down and smiled at your clothes. Then I finished the game, typed this comment, and thought “actually, I think I’d want people to have the same reaction to me in a fancy outfit.” In a good way though
Hell yeah! A button up shirt!
Quebec liking Ontario.... I don't think so. Not in my 67 years, but we do try to get along. Politics aside, Canadians will likely become even more united and accepting of all others with each successive generation. Quebec's biggest problem is that they cheer for the Montreal Canadiens. Similar to why many Canadians do not like Torontonians, they cheer for the Maple Leafs. With teams also in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Ottawa, it is best not to ask Canadians who they like or dislike during hockey season.
Even though it's a fact that Finland has the prettiest women, people did not select Finland not because they think it's not, but because they've never seen a Finnish girl. It's a hidden gem, kinda like irish girls.
Edit: also the men are handsome there, I just misunderstood the question as specifically women.
My guy, most Finnish ppl look like they are borderline Downs.
Your prime minister is Fit as f*ck (sexy)
Irish women are NOT a hidden gem. You are smoking crack. Swedish women > finnish women
any women > irish women
I live in ireland and I heavily disagree that irish women are "a hidden gem"
@@gstrdms that's just... racist.
I find the entire “Portuguese wanting to move to the Netherlands” supremely weird. There’s a a bit of language barrier there, we’re extremely fluent in English (my generation, at least), and while Dutch is not thaaat differently and being fluent in English definitely helps as a starting point, there’s also a crap ton of Portuguese people living in London and the rest of the UK, so I would expect it would be our top choice still. Is this stat post-Brexit? 🤔
13:37 first of all, nice
second, I've seen a map like that before and I could have sworn it's spanish-language majority counties in the US. Or possibly just all non-english. But that explains why it's clustered around the border
I want to see that map for US states and who they [edit: have rivalries with :D]. I can guarantee for Michigan it's Ohio, and can partially guarantee the reverse is also true.
No we speak English in America.

Damn, Ibx2cat looking fine in that fit.
You did actually mention being part srilankan before in a video.
ToyCat wearing a suit? 😮
You should collaborate with Drew Dernil
The map without a key is where more people speak Spanish at home than English, or also where more people speak a non-english language at home than English.
nice suit map guy
6:26 counties in the us with a spanish speaking majority
There's probably a difference between countries people want to holiday in, work in or live in.
5:05 there’s a mistake: Quebec likes Quebec
No it's that the Ontarians and BCer's each think they're the center of Canada and like themselves more than any other region.
Very formal look for Toycat, hm....
8:32 for UK, i thought Australia would be more popular ?
Are you caring about the second channel too much with that suit?
6:29 those are hispanic majority counties
As a swede that went to the UK to study for a while before dipping out of there i must say that its mindboggling how the UK as a cold country can build such shit houses with no insolation and how all the systems in place whenever you want to do something are so overly complicated, in Sweden everything is digital and takes one button press. Also the roads and city planning is so bad and in order to get electricity I had to go down to some sketchy store and pay with cash to get a code i would put in to the electricity machine. Couldn't live there for more than 4 months. lol
UK has other troubles to deal with currently. Social unrest because of xenophobia and more recently you know
I definitely would like to move to Canada
It's kinda like the Danes moving to Sweden - people commute over the bridge to work in Copenhagen, so Danes will move to Sweden because it's so much cheaper. The cost of living in Sweden is about *25%* lower than DK and the rents in Copenhagen are the highest in the country but the Swedish side, 5 miles away, has a 28% lower [average] housing cost compared to DK. We don't need a passport to for the trip, so it's like living in Essex and working in Kent but saving nearly 1/3 (if they were living in Copenhagen as opposed to the 1/4 if they lived in the rest of DK) of the cost of living by doing so - kind of a common sense to move.
Edit: Also think the Faroe Islands is mostly a logical thing - they're part of the Danish Kingdom and there's 1 University there with 5 faculties and little chance of work experience in a variety of sectors. Think Shetlands in the UK - kinda makes sense that they'd move to England or Scotland to further their careers..
There's also a smaller section of Danes who have spouses or partners that come from other countries and find it much easier to navigate the Swedish immigration system than the Danish one, so they just move to Malmö and work and visit their families in Denmark.
@@rasmusn.e.m1064 Ah yes, me in my bubble - as someone who's lived most his life in England, should have considered that a little more. Fair point.
If there were Google street views of Canadian cities in the winter you'd just get piles of snow ploughed off to the side, creating a sad sad viewing experience. If you don't like the snow, but wanna move to Canada, there is very limited choice, Vancouver/west coast would be your only option.
Maybe soon we'll be saying "wish we were in Canada - they still have snow in places".
"I will not use the money to improve this channel in any way" lol love his honesty
How recent is the data used? Most Maltese people nowadays are migrating to the UK and other EU countries.
Ukraine should have Polish flag. I live in medium city with around 140k people here, and there are so, so, so many Ukrainians now here! They were coming here even before war because we had lot of jobs in automotive sector, but now it's not only men or some young women, but the whole families.
Canadians advertise moving there in Mexico.
Mexicans google moving to Canada.
If both were serious, they'd make it happen -- transport people from the US/Mexico border into Canada -- but they don't.
I’d be for that. Also deport Mexicans from the US into Canada too.
Correct, they fly direct bypassing the US altogether.
Loved the vid. but made me feel old! You speak so fast. tired me out!! But i'm old. Keep up the good work.
The Americans in Germany are soldiers stationed there; shouldn't really count I don't think because they don't really live abroad. They live on the soil but are there briefly and their lives centre around the bases. Oh, and I'm awaiting Mr Farage's wailing against the influx of Japanese and St Lucians
That mystery map could be counties that are at least 2/3 Latino or perhaps places where over 50% of people speak Spanish.
We speak English in America.
@@anonymoususer8895...you realize that a country's official language isn't the only one that can be spoken there, right?

like how you complain about maps without keys, then proceed to cover the map with your camera
brilliant how did you find out
This doesn't really show what countries are liked the most though. Spaniards love Italy and Italians love Spain but both countries have the same problems so there's no point in moving because you're gonna be unemployed or underpaid either way lol
So stu-pid.

I'd like to see this survey done on the migrants in Calais!
6:35 just reverse image search the image?
To put Canada's immigration to context, in 2022, we brought in 437,000 immigrants into the country, which is little over 1% of the population of 40 million from that year alone. Canada is expecting to increase our immigration goals to about 527,000 for the rest of 2023.
Needless to say that we don't have the raw numbers of immigration (legally) like the USA but by capita, we are among the highest migrate population ratio (A quarter of Canada's population were born outside the nation).
THERE'S A LOT OF BRITISH IMMIGRANTS LIVING IN SPAIN.
It’s not that relevant anymore, but for here in Poland “temporarily” moving to Germany or the UK was very common to get money, even without education, the pay was just so much better that you could work customer service for a couple months there and live off just bread with butter and then return and be somewhat rich
