I am just day dreaming about leaving.
I already know the earth and we are too far away from any planet in the known universe to get there in our life time. ok.

Water, oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and many other minerals, an atmosphere that is nonpoisonous, and an orbit from a star in the midst of it's series life that is neither to far (cold) or to close. It should have an iron or iron-nickel core to generate a magnetic field to shield us from cosmic rays, and not too many bodies on collision orbits, as one good collision cancels the party. Ideally it's orbit would incline so as to produce seasons, and it's gravity would be between 1/2 and 2 gs. It would have one, two, or three moons for lovers!

Well, it should probably have a surface. But really, if you're out there on your way to a distant planet and can travel fast enough, time will slow down, therefore aging will slow down, and even though it will be distant, you in theory could live that long. How to slow down when you get there could be a serious problem. In theory, my understanding is, a "piece" of light gets to where it's going at the same instant it leaves its source, as far as the light "knows". And now they're saying that some "particles" actually get to where they're going before they leave. Look up "Time Dilation".

White male searches for an unoccupied planet must have breathable air, enough atmosphere as not to die out of radiation or become a big cancer,drinkable water and soil to grow food, few native species would be a plus, same or similar gravity force is also a plus

We can't survive on a planet way out there. We can't even survive on the Moon (no air). We need to be where we are in relation to the sun on our little blue planet. Mars is cold as hell (oxymoron intended) and again you have the air problem. We need to go about 100 light years out to maybe find something. Bring a toothbrush.

Voyager 1 and 2 are incapable of discovering other planets...they were not designed for that.

A breathable atmosphere,livable temperatures,and of course plant
life-without which there would be nothing to eat. Animal life would
be good,too,for the same reason.
I would also like to leave.
