5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Honestly lots of Western Europe, but personally: Iceland, Germany, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Netherlands, Belgium, etc.
Objectively places like Spain, Portugal, Malta, etc. would work.
I have no delusions of ever making it as an immigrant in any of these countries. You need a lot of money.
No, you need to find some job and rent a room
As a US citizen you have right to work in most of those countries. Without that right, it would be a different story
No you don't, you need a visa to be able to work here, depending on your area of expertise companies might sponsor your visa.
Nope. Absolutely none of those appear to allow working with just a US passport.
... Because I think it is.
But, to be fair, I only did a little searching. If you have a reference - like a page from the gov of Denmark saying "Yanks are cool: come in and get to work" - I'd love to be proved wrong. My nephew needs to see the world, and working is how it's done.
Sure, but finding a job and housing in most of the places I listed is quite challenging, often even for citizens of those countries, but especially immigrants.
