若你够幸运能当自由工作者，不必侷限在某一地点，并对美国感到厌倦，考虑搬到一个令人兴奋的海外新城市，最新外国人士生活品质排名显示，维也纳应是首选。
全球最大人力咨询顾问公司“美世咨询”(Mercer)每年根据犯罪水平、货币兑换规定、个人自由、医疗服务、国际学校数量、公共交通效率、住房成本、天气、有趣可做的事等因素，评估450个不同城市的海外人士生活条件。维也纳今年是连续第九年荣获榜首。
维也纳干净、文化丰沛多元，还有美食及壮丽建筑。此外，每人都说完美的英语，而且有很多外侨住在该市，地理位置就在欧洲的中央，很容易在周末前往其他国家游览。
若维也纳不吸引你，瑞士苏黎世排名第二，新西兰的奥克兰与德国慕尼黑同列第三。若想寻找更具异国情调的城市，新加坡在亚洲地区排名首位(全球排名第25)、拉丁美洲的乌拉圭首都蒙地维第欧（Montevideo）排名第77，中东杜拜排名第74。
加拿大排名最高的城市是温哥华(全球排名第五)，旧金山在全美排名第一(全球第30)，旧金山也是美国百大快乐城市之一。
美世咨询公司也根据城市卫生进行排名，评估城市垃圾清除、空气污染、传染病与水质状况。檀香山位居第一，芬兰首都赫尔辛基排名第二。芬兰近来才荣膺全球最快乐的国家，考虑落脚斯堪地那维亚的人，赫尔辛基是不错的城市选择。
