Yes, Europe, especially Spain or Portugal are on our list. France not so much, since it suffers from very similar issues than Germany. Regarding the equatorial zone: Agree - especially considering, that we have roughly 30 to 35 years more to live, it would have to be a spot that "still exists". We're aware of that, also of the fact, that one can not escape one's own problems by escaping a certain place. But since our son is just 6 month old, we have at least close to 6 years time, where we can go, wherever we want, before we have to send him to a school. Thanks for your suggestion!
