I've been thinking about what countries I would prefer to live in if I get into the Foreign Service. My official answer to this is that I'd love to go anywhere new and interesting.
But there's something to be said for having some previous experience in a language. So, a list (from the Virginia Polytechnic Institute website for some reason) of countries where French is the national language (or one of the national languages):
Belgium
Benin (Africa)
Burkina-Faso (Africa)
Burundi
Cameroon
Canada
Central African Republic
Chad
Comoros (Indian Ocean island east of Africa)
Democratic Republic of Congo
Djibouti (Africa)
France
Gabon (Africa)
Guinea
Haiti
Ivory Coast
Luxembourg
Madagascar
Mali
Monaco
Niger
Republic of Congo
Rwanda
Senegal
Seychelles (Indian Ocean island east of Africa)
Switzerland
Togo
Vanuatu (in the South Pacific)
And there are other countries where French is commonly spoken, even though it's not a national language.
So I could just become fluent in French and live in at least 27 different countries!

Mom and Dad are going to be lonely with just Sam in-country for company.
Or Sam will be lonely here when M&D spend all their time traveling around the world visiting the two of us! :)
