Florence, Italy is prone to bouts of nationalism, even back in 2009 when I was there. An aitheist in a city full of Churches, that level of irony usually requires a monkey's paw. The city is breathtaking, but my Italian is Rusty if not complete shit, and there would be moths flying from my pockets if these pants had pockets.

I have traveled to about 30 countries....

I love Sweden but it is too dark. I need sunlight .

I love tuscany italy. I am not sure I can learn italian and my children live in the us. My compromise is to rent a flat in tuscany for three months. Considering that.

Songkhla, Thailand, and I'm here already.

I would prefer to live high up on a mountain and live a quiet monk like lifestyle away from worldly distractions. I don't because i have older family members to take care of.

Wherever I am right now. It is what I have.

Amor Fati.

I am already there, moved here in 1995. left a few times briefly, but keep coming back.

I really like where i live now in Clearwater Florida. But If I had the chance (and the money), i would live in Florence Italy. I have family there.

SE Asia.

Not there because I have no viable source of income to earn a living once I got there.

I like where I am now, near Puget Sound, just North of Seattle. I would also live in the SF Bay Area, Vancouver or Victoria, BC or any number of places in Australia or New Zealand.

If Trump doesn't get impeached after the midterms I will move out of the USA. To Canada, Australia, or New Zealand. Probably to Victoria, BC. I've lived there before, housing is so much cheaper than Vancouver, I don't really want to work anymore, and there isn't a quarantine for my dog. I'll get preferential status to immigrate to Canada as I did my undergad there, worked there, and am in one of the highest scoring fields.

There isn't anything stopping me other than a lot of paperwork for immigration, selling my house, buying a new house, moving... I could do it anytime.

I've been to, and worked in, many countries but it is hard to beat Australia or New Zealand as places to live.

I already live in the Kootenays in British Columbia, Canada. Feel blessed to be here.

Has anyone invented a convertible tiny house that can sit on land or float on the ocean? Because that's where I want to be. As to why I'm not there, besides the above-stated conundrum... financial constraints.

Hawaii, in retirement. I'm not there because it's financially infeasible. I expect that situation won't change.

But I am here.

Eventually, every place becomes a disappointment; but I would like to go back to Amsterdam.

Panajachel, Guatemala. Soon I hope.

I’d just like a better pad somewhere in my city (NY) I’m trying to stay away from the coast with tsunamis and hurricanes

Pittsburgh, PA, where I live currently. For the culture (especially in the performing arts), the history and scenery, the affordable cost of living, & the friendly people!

I've been thinking of an answer, but I'm stumped. Maui? Switzerland? Amalfi coast?
Hmmmm..

@redcupcoffee where would you live?

Seattle and because I have no money

I would be in South Florida, I love that part of the world, I'm not there because I have a career in Canada and I can only afford one or two vacations a year.

I would move to Kenya but I would have to win a big lottery first. Lacka money.

I'd move to New Zealand. Only way to pull that off is to be independently wealthy.

When I was approaching retirement , I gave a lot of thought to where I wanted to live , even including moving to another country . I spent 4 years looking at homes online , and made a few trips to view homes , in person . I had arranged to fly in and meet with a real estate agent , on a Wednesday , and sent her the MSL numbers of homes I wanted to see . I asked her to check for what flood plain they were on , which eliminated a few , and asked her to plan a circle trip to view as many as we could , which eliminated a few more . I was away for the preceding weekend , but Monday , after work , I stopped in at the library and viewed some more . I sent her a new MLS listing and told her it was the OMG house , to please add it to the list , which she did . After viewing the OMG house , we stopped at a Chinese resturant for lunch . As I was getting back in her SUV , lightening cracked directly overhead . Not thunder , CRACKED . I looked up , said , "OK , I got it ," got in her car and told her instead of looking at more houses we may as well go back to her office and write up the paperwork .
