Where would you rather live and why?

Pretend that money is not a factor and that you can take your loved one's with you, wherever you decide to go. Where would you live?

@HoraceGreenley It's a big place, anywhere specific? Minnesota and California might as well be on different planets.
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@Angelfire21 I'm an East Coast guy
Angelfire21 · 36-40, F
@HoraceGreenley Wellllllll... I'm a West Coast girl. I bet our politics are different but we'd have a great time anyway haha
England. That’s were my relatives live.

I would be happy with a large log cabin on a stream with a water fall in
North Carolina ,USA
Maybe a pond right at my front door
I built such a place ,except it was a small cabin
(you said I could bring my family so I need a bigger one ,and thats the only way I would go anyway ,with my family )
The one I built for someone else wasn't big but it was so nice ,
An alternate
I was on an island off of Miami ,,
It had a home built from drift wood ,they had power and a cottage for company
2 story ,but it was like something out of Swiss Family Robinson ,I loved it
My family with me ,game to hunt and a place to grow a garden with my son and Grandson ,all the girls making things girls like to make
I would be content ,relying a lot on my family as I am getting old ,
But I would be there to tell them everything they needed to do for the seasons
Not as one that tries to run the show ,,just a guide when needed
Angelfire21 · 36-40, F
@rckt148 This sounds like a dream. If I could go off and live away from society in something as lovely as a cabin, I would be totally down. I love the detail here, thanks for taking me on that trip with you <3

Well I’m pretty happy here in Melbourne Australia 🙂
Gforce1163 · 56-60, M
@Angelfire21 Bravo! I admire your attitude and I sincerely hope your optimism is proven true👍
Angelfire21 · 36-40, F

@PerfectionOfTheHeart you are totally invited and Stephen can come if he brings signed copies of his classics for everyone.

@Angelfire21 Yay!!!!!
Angelfire21 · 36-40, F
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout I love the tiny house! I just think I'm too lazy to go through the process of getting things I need from civilization like conditioner and monster energy drinks >.<

@bowman81 I feel like this is my type of answer. I want to follow the sun.

Everywhere has it’s ups and downs
I’ll just live on a yacht in the middle of the ocean

Unless my plan to have New Jersey secede from The US works

@JRVanguard I'm hoping the Californians that keep beating on the government to become their own state will eventually succeed and I can jump on that boat as it sails away. #Jefferson

@Angelfire21 It'd be nicer honestly to be a smaller country

I like right where I am
@whowasthatmaskedman Which is where? I am curious...
Angelfire21 · 36-40, F
@whowasthatmaskedman Which is where? You don't have to give the city, but the country at least?

@SW-User I've never even been! The farthest South I've ever been was Mexico. Have you been/are you from there?
SW-User
@Angelfire21 Nope, but U.S. influence is minimal in the Argentinean mountain ranges. One can only dream
Angelfire21 · 36-40, F
@SW-User I love that. Well thought out, too.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
I'd have to say taking into consideration, weather, disasters, and other factors I'm more than happy to be in the UK and I honestly have no desire to live elsewhere.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@Angelfire21 weather's a big thing for me i can't stand heat so anywhere hot would be out..id never deal with earthquakes and tornados, we had a small earthquake here a month or so ago and it was awful! And although people moan, we have a lot of resources we can depend on for support when we need it..
Angelfire21 · 36-40, F
@Primnproper I am also all about the weather. California is so mild and I've lived here my entire life. I don't have the tolerance for other places. I mean, I can survive, I'm pretty sure I just whine a lot and nobody wants to be around me lol

And earthquakes... well, if I'm being honest... it quakes a lot here. Los Angeles sits on a fault and every few months we get a little shake.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@Angelfire21 no being here is good to learn about other places but so far there's nothing that could coax me away from the UK..
Batman · 41-45, M
Colorado somewhere with a calm climate
Batman · 41-45, M
I’m packing the car now I hope you like lobster!
Angelfire21 · 36-40, F
@Batman Anyone who doesn't like lobster isn't allowed in our adventure.
Batman · 41-45, M
Ooooh can we get on of those awesome log cabins? I bet we could even find one close to the beach so we can check out light houses at night!
JoyfulSilence · 46-50, M
Western US. I live in the Easten US, and it is too humid in summer.
JoyfulSilence · 46-50, M
@Angelfire21 I have yet to visit California.

I was in Arizona last month. Even though it was hot, I did not sweat!
Angelfire21 · 36-40, F
@JoyfulSilence Arizona IS hot... it's muuuuuurder lol. Beautiful, love the native american culture there, but the weather is not for me.
JoyfulSilence · 46-50, M
@Angelfire21 I was mostly near the Grand Canyon, which was only in the 80s during the day. But I flew in and out of Phoenix. Both those days, it was 102. Yet surprisingly bearable. Ninety five degrees and humid is worse.
Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M
Sweden. Norway. Australia. New Zealand. Canada.
@Picklebobble2 Speaking as a Canadian, I can proudly say Ontario is great as is British Columbia. Maritimes look sweet, but employment is rather limited. We are a friendly nation. And in winter, it is damn cold.
Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M
@PoetryNEmotion I often think i'd sooner be cold than eternally wet ! It rains about ten months a year here. Much of it cold too.
Angelfire21 · 36-40, F
@Picklebobble2 I love the rain, but I say that in a state that's been in a drought forever. If it rained constantly and I had to go out in it and do life, it might annoy me too lol
I pick in the States with him. Or Australia. And lots of flights for my son to visit me. Or South America.
Angelfire21 · 36-40, F
@PoetryNEmotion I think I'm pretty happy in Los Angeles also, but I do love to travel and when I travel I like to stay for longer than just a few days.
Nyloncapes · 61-69, M
Fire21 anyone can cook crispy bacon in the frying pan. And put in sandwich with brown sauce on
Angelfire21 · 36-40, F
@Nyloncapes I'm making Mexican food for dinner and I don't live in Mexico, so mostly I'm kidding about the bacon :P
PotPrincess1 · 36-40, M
PotPrincess1 · 36-40, M
I mostly like the idea of building homes for people and putting guarani to use would actually make learning it worthwhile

However coffee and chocolate are definitely up there on the important list of essentials

You and someone else mentioned Norway, that is also a close second :)
Angelfire21 · 36-40, F
@PotPrincess1 I read something the other day about Norway being the happiest country in the world. I always follow up reading things with researching, not because I'm so thorough, but because I have a learning addiction. The only thing I really know is that I have a lot to learn, or somesuch.

Either way, it's apparently true based on a lot of factors. Average wage, women's equality, free healthcare, they get HUGE maternity leave and various other things. I don't know what they are doing right, but we should be looking over their shoulder for the answers for sure.
PotPrincess1 · 36-40, M
all of those factors you mentioned should be implemented in all other countries as they simply make sense. environments and society shape us into who we are. It seems like equality is something that has at least reached almost everywhere now (if not completely then at least partially) even if free healthcare and decent wages/standards will of living haven’t yet

Norwegians are also humble and happy with the simple things, have you ever tried brunost?
Hoodski · 36-40, M
I’d go back to Alaska because it is gorgeous there and feel so free
Angelfire21 · 36-40, F
@Hoodski I have never been but I really would love to go one day. I have a lot of places on my travel list.
Hoodski · 36-40, M
@Angelfire21 definitely do it

off the grid/isolated island
Angelfire21 · 36-40, F
@SW-User I don't have the skills for that sort of thing, but I totally see the appeal. Sometimes I want to flush my cellphone down the toilet just to get a break.
SW-User
@Angelfire21 I don't either but i am open to learn and adapt. It's not just the appeal, sometimes you think this is the only option left to avoid being a serial killer
Angelfire21 · 36-40, F
@SW-User I understand you so much my friend.
Probably Canada. British Columbia
Angelfire21 · 36-40, F
@Thisthinglovesyou We'll all be in Canada before Mr. T gets out of office.

@Angelfire21 yes a very laid back pace there. Definitely need some acreage and horses.
Angelfire21 · 36-40, F
@GJOFJ3 Let me know when it's ready, I'm coming out for a long stay.
GJOFJ3 · 61-69, M
@Angelfire21 it is a beautiful state. You could stay as long as you want.

@SmallMack I also LOVE the weather.

Me too the weather is decent!!

Where I live now London England
Angelfire21 · 36-40, F
@Nyloncapes Listen, I love England and I have been to London twice but we have a serious problem in one aspect... the bacon. Your bacon is the enemy of deliciousness and I frown upon it in the least judgy way possible.

I simply cannot live in a country where the bacon is not crispy :P
whateverhappens · 26-30, F
in my house in the caribbean
Angelfire21 · 36-40, F
@whateverhappens You have a house in the Caribbean?! Or you would have a house? Because if you do have one, I'd like to be friends. I'm very nice, just the kind of person you invite to your Caribbean house for example :P

@Angelfire21 I am lucky.
Straylight · 31-35, F
Reading, England.
Angelfire21 · 36-40, F
@Straylight I make bacon jokes, but I really do love England. I've never been to Reading, but I've been to London and there is just something about Europe... you can feel how much older it is. Being American, it's something I'm not used to but truly loved. Italy felt older than that even
Straylight · 31-35, F
@Angelfire21 My reasoning is almost entirely because Jasper Fford's Thursday Next series takes place there (usually) and I'd love to see the real place.
JennyGa · 41-45, F
Hawaii or California
Angelfire21 · 36-40, F
@JennyGa I live in Los Angeles and it's nice most of the time. Good weather, people are pretty laid back, there's entertainment to be had but my visits to Hawaii were amazing on another level. I'd live there. Matter of fact, I don't know why I don't live there. *thinks*
