    I have Italian heritage and learning the language so that’s the obvious choice - but I’m not attached to it.

    Haven’t done much Europe travel as an adult

    My intention is to live and work somewhere in EU (ideally in accounting or similar)

    I’m over living in Melb and want to experience the world

    I’d suggest Ireland if we didn’t have an even worse housing crisis that Australia (and shit weather). And yes, I have first hand experience of both rental markets in the last year

    Depends. Are you independently wealthy, or going to be working remotely and earning a high salary?

    If yes, then Italy.

    European passport document allows you to live, work, study, and retire anywhere in the EU. Not the whole European continent. Your choice is limited to the 27 member states of the European Union (EU).

    To provide you with a more concrete answer I need to know what are your main criteria for determining the best EU country. Is it job opportunity? Quality of life? Cost of living? Culture and language?

    From an accountant job perspective, the best countries would be Germany, Switzerland, or The Netherlands.
    From a cost of living perspective Poland, Romania, Croatia, or Bulgaria may be considered, but I don’t know if you could deal with the Eastern European cultures.

    My take it your wishes would converge more around career development so taking into account job prospects, salaries, quality of life, and costs, the Netherlands stands out as a good option.

    Above is as much advise as I could provide given the limited info.

    If you are able to get into a remote work position that would be ideal. That would let you travel around to the different options you have and live for a while in every place to get a feel for it. Europe is not monolithic, so it would be good to experience the different options and see what you feel best with.

    You’d have to look into job requirements and/or housing stuff.
    Netherlands, Germany are solid choices language-wise if you’re an English speaker. Denmark or other scandinavian countries are also good choices to live.
    Most of these countries are multicultural, wealthy and prosperous.

    Luxembourg has a lot of finance jobs. Some only require English. Good wages and quality of life, but housing is expensive and if you crave sunshine you won’t like the weather.

    Ask again in the next few years. Things are very volatile most everywhere (atm and for the foreseeable future), in case you haven’t noticed.

    I’d recommend the UK, but if you can’t deal with the climate or you simply don’t like the idea, my second preferred option is Spain. Lovely climate, lovely people, lovely culture. You still need to make a transition that takes time and effort, and which will last you a lifetime. Might as well make it for something that is genuinely great from all perspectives.
