Any thoughts?
The Republic of Ireland? Hard not to find it, they speak English, prices are a little lower than the UK, everybody's very friendly, the place is certainly perfectly safe, RT seems to make reasonable sense most of the time - and only about a 50 mile sea crossing. The beer is generally good as well, although if you want good affordable whisky, go north east of there!
Little bit of mild paperwork nauseum with special branch getting each way, but that's about as difficult as it gets.
Heading north into Ulster is also easy enough - even a big place like Londonderry / Derry / Eglinton / Stroke-City is very welcoming to GA.

N.B. But do expect at-least two varieties of potato with every meal.
