If you could live in a different country for 3-6 months where would you choose?

[Missindecision]

With all the time to ponder lately, I've been thinking how lovely it would be to live in a different country for up to 6 months. Long enough to soak it up but short enough to not be away from home for long.

If only work, school, finances, etc would allow - sigh

So, just for fun, where would you choose to go?

We have a holiday home in Cyprus.

Cyprus would be y second choice.

Greece. Cannot possibly decide where specifically but definitely Greece. I would happily live on tzatziki, souvlaki and tiropita for 6 months.

Ooh I lived in Tokyo for 2 years 20 odd years ago and would love to go back for a bit.

Other than that, Oman or Jordan, please.

Another saying Bhutan.

Sri Lanka, it’s amazing. My favourite place in the world. Alternatively, I’d also like to live in McLeod Ganj in India (where the Dalai Lama lives) only because I’ve always said one day I’d like to come back there for 3-6 months. Dh and I used to live in India (near Mumbai) and I don’t know if I’d generally live in India again (the rest of India, I mean). But I’ve always had a bit of a special place for McLeod Ganj. Though it’s a ballache to get there!

Greece or Italy or both....

@mindutopia - I'd love to live in Sri Lanka for a few months too. Was trying to decide between it and India in my previous reply.

Colombia

Peru

Canada, specifically Montreal. I've never been but my best friend says it's a beautiful city and I like the idea of speaking and hearing French while in North America.

USA, North Carolina. A direct female ancestor left UK for America, survived shipwreck and married a plantation owner there in 1770's. I can't help wondering what NC is like. Three months would be great!

Do I have to work? I lived in Connecticut for 3 months once and whilst it was fun, after a while you're just going to work in a slightly different place. It's odd.

If no work, South of France, New Zealand or a Thailand/Vietnam/Cambodia trip.

Also I would like to have a boat and island hop the Caribbean. Obviously would need to be able to sail, but how hard can that be

New Zealand or Canada with my family.

Already live in Australia, so Italy or Greece for me.

Iceland

Greece. I love it so much I would happily spend 3-6 months eating Greek food and enjoying their weather and beaches.

Tokyo 100% went around Japan last year and this was just a mind-blowing place.

Also chuck San Francisco and Paris into the mix

Somewhere Spanish speaking so that I could learn to speak it properly. I have always wanted to go to South America... Argentina, uraguay, Peru perhaps.

Scotland. That's my dream, to come home for half of the time.

Svalbard! It's my spiritual home :-)

Scotland, in the Highlands, and have my Outlander fantasy. That, or just hunker down in a cottage somewhere and enjoy the peace and nature.

Italy, somewhere with easy access to the Cinque Terre.

I live in cyprus so for me right now it would be the uk - I miss everyone and there’s no realistic prospect of us travelling backwards and forwards easily. That being said, Cyprus is an awesome place and it could be worse.

In non odd times I would love to go to Japan - because the culture is very very different to the uk.
I’d also like to go to Norway and Sweden - from what I understand both places value a work / life balance. Don’t speak a bloody word of Finnish or Norwegian thoigh so that would make things difficult

Singapore. I love it there. Alternatively NZ.
