Denver, Australia

Forget the glitz and glamor - moving to Aussie Denver is a gritty proposition. This sleepy town of just 2,000 residents is a far cry from the bustling cities many Americans dream of. And with one-off actress Cassandra Delaney's tumultuous two-year marriage to singer John Denver ending in divorce, the bureaucratic headaches and interpersonal strife of settling down here are well-documented.

While Delaney did manage to find work in a handful of Australian films, including the cult classic Fair Game, the reality is that opportunities are limited. Unless you're content living a reclusive, off-the-grid lifestyle, Denver, Australia is probably not the expat destination for you.

This town is best suited for rugged individualists seeking a remote escape from the modern world, not sun-seeking Instagram influencers. The practicalities of daily life here can be a persistent challenge.
