Inspired by my other thread.

I'm from Australia, and I would live in the UK in a heartbeat.

Think I would like either Canada or New Zealand. I'm Scottish so would like somewhere that looked like home but somewhere where you didn't get 4 seasons of weather in one day

I am from the UK and live here. I would move to the Republic of Ireland in a second, if it weren't for family, I would have already gone (may do so in another 10 years or so).

I used to think somewhere remote but warm, like Bora Bora Blush Based on places I've been I have an affinity with Syracuse which is upstate New York, in fact a 4 hour drive away from New York itself. That or on the coast in the U.K., don't mind where. As long as I didn't have to work I'd spend my days walking my dog on the beach and playing silly buggers with him. Oh and with a cottage with a log fire to come back to!

I often think about this and my answer is by the sea (the distant view of the Mersey doesn't really count). Warm all year , sea, fresh fish and good wine. I love some parts of Spain and Italy. I loved the short time I lived in Australia (Noosa for the most of it).

I'm from Newcastle Zealand but live in the UK, I would go back to NZ in a heartbeat and it's where my heart will always be.
If I had to choose somewhere else it would be Canada or one of the Scandinavian countries.

I have a soft spot for Iceland but realistically it would be Germany or Canada.

I have family in Australia and whilst there are many things I love about it I'm not sure if I could deal with the remoteness. You can't jump on a ferry and be in another country, plus I do love a dark, cold winter.

San Fransisco, Washington State, New England. Italy.

Canada and NZ wouldn't appear on my list.

I'm not in the UK and wouldn't move back. I am completely happy with where I live now.

Like lots of other posters, New Zealand, Scandinavia, maybe Canada. Ireland, but I'm from there originally so it doesn't really count. I like it here, though.

Why, OP? I have family who moved there, they like it, but think it's 'quiet' compared to a big UK city, despite living in a big city over there. There's no way they'd ever move back here.

I like America, I've travelled there extensively, I could manage Canada too! However, a big field with no neighbours in any country would do. It would suit me and the DH plus our assorted animals.
