ChatGPT is telling me to go to Antarctica. Not sure about the cost of living there. And besides, I don't think their food game all that.

Seriously though, where have you spent a considerable amount of time and seen no roaches (the American and German types)?

Don't go to Greece. Their roaches are big enough to beat you up and take your lunch money.

I never saw that, but I believe you. My cats used to hunt them at night and dump the corpses into their water dish. I'd have to pick up the dish, at as long an arm's length as I possibly could, and dump it out every morning. I remember those roaches being so massive I could see the details of their leg joints from 3 feet away. This was 15 years ago and I am still traumatized.

Also, you'd be walking down the street in Athens, look down, and see roaches strolling along the sidewalk along with you. The light didn't scare them at all.
