Nov 2015

I met an American guy who was doing just that. Had an apartment in Berlin, too, but made sure he spent less than half the year in Berlin so he didn't have to declare a German residence. He spent most of his time in Mauritius and a few weeks a year in the States. Seemed to be having the time of his life.

Although it is far, you can get to Mauritius from most large cities in the USA with just one change of plane. There are nonstops to both Mauritius and most big US cities from Paris, and probably London and Frankfurt as well.
