Where would you like to live?

I know we have a thread in the general forum about where we live.

I was just wondering where you would like to live if you didn’t live where you do?

I live in Wales but failing that I would probably choose New Zealand.

I wouldn't want to live anywhere else but where I'm living right now : Sardinia,italy. No place in the world has the same life quality we have here. People reaching and passing 100 years of age and still walking 8 kms a day or splitting woods at 90 is quite a common sight here.

+1 Nice left field choice

Throw in a few months somewhere quiet and sunny beside the sea (Carmel in CA springs to mind).

Since you're asking today . . . . . . I'm thinking maybe somewhere a little cooler in the summer.

I've lived in in Romania, US, Italy, Holland and Austria until now. Not sure if I would spend my life in any of these countries, though Italy still has my heart...

Love the relatively small city that I live. There are some cities in Europe that I love and I visit regularly but I have no desire of being an expat.

Devon, south west of England where I live I love. Stunning countryside. Only issue is the weather. I’d like to spend January and February abroad every year. Maybe Barbados or St Thomas, or try down under. Apart from that Devon all the way with the odd week in the med thrown in during the summer :-)

US = somewhere warm/hot. i can't wait to move away from Chi
Europe = hmmm, I think Southern Italy or Spain islands would be my choice, if i had the funds, even Croatia. Pending funds and not having to rely on local economy.

Same here I’m quite happy with my location. I like to travel but am always happy to be home.

I like my current living arrangements: Western NY for the summer and Naples Florida for the winter.
However, if money were no object, a place in Tuscany would be pretty sweet.
