If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

[Hellosunnysun8]

Just that really!

I’ve given this a lot of thought.

I’d like a townhouse in South Kensington, a flat in Paris (on the Ile Saint-Louis, please), and a villa in the South of France, maybe outskirts of Villefranche but I’m open to suggestions).

I think I need more than one lottery win.

I’d go for similar

House in London, Holland Park type area or big detached near a park closer to where we are

Holiday home in heat with sandy beach

I live on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, so I am pretty good with what I have. I am surrounded by mountains, forests, orchards and vineyards, amazing waterfalls, beaches to die for for and still only a quick ferry ride to the mainland if I want to go to Vancouver.

I also live on Vancouver Island, and am desperate to get off it it is a lovely, easy place to live in many ways, and very beautiful, but it feels to me like life is what is happening to other people somewhere else. I am not by nature an island person, and I find the sloooooowness to get to Vancouver one of the most frustrating things.

My favourite place is London and I do hope I can convince DH to move back there one day, at least part time. Perhaps in retirement.

If money was no object, I think Singapore. But it's so expensive if you had to start "from scratch" to set up your life there.

Otherwise and more realistically, I would love to move back to where my family are originally from, Georgetown on Penang island.

Plus mountaineering and mountain biking

Since I'm rich in this fantasy, I'll also be clever and have a research post at CERN.

Can I ask where you live? I've got dual citizenship and we're thinking of moving there.

I would love to live in Italy. Lucca or somewhere in Tuscany. I would summer there and move to Rome for the winter. Bliss...

Nice or Sanary-sur-Mer.

@BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz I love the Endless Adventure but am a few videos behind. I know they had more trouble with Clementine but didn't know they were going to settle somewhere. I don't blame them though, they must be permanent knackered! 😀

Italy, somewhere down south near Naples / Amalfi way, or Sicily. Preferably with a hot Italian husband.

South Korean countryside - preferably near a lake or the sea.

Kauai

St Gilgen, just outside Salzburg. Just the loveliest place we have been too. Salzburg was also beautiful. Happily live on the outskirts.

We always feel "at home" when we visit the Netherlands too, and once considered moving. Delft is very nice, as is Edam.

What part ?
Why ?

I'd like to live somewhere that is max 25 degrees in summer ( every day to be sunny in summer ) and isn't rainy or damp much ( so not Ireland )
Any suggestions.

If I had to stay in Ireland I'd live by the sea - south west = Kerry - Valentia Island or Caherdaniel.
Kinsale in Cork.
Or Dalkey, Dun Laoghaire, Greystones, Monkstown or Rosslare on the East coast.
A girl can dream.................

Cap D'Antibes, near the beach, with a little boat. And maybe a little London pad.

Spain or Italy. Would need to think more about the specifics.

Germany, or Canada.

Zante

Well, allowing for the fact that everywhere has its faults and assuming money no object:
Definitely London, preferably in a beautiful mansion flat on a garden square.
Italy - probably in the north.
Switzerland or Southern Germany.
Would have to be Europe though, to be close to all my fave cultural places, but maybe a little bolthole in Cape Town for the European winter 😂

Northern Italy in a villa and Ireland(where I am from) on the coast and a Bauernhaus somewhere in the mountains in southern Germany (where I live anyway) Hard to choose from those three

Vancouver or if I had to stay in the UK it would be south wales

I can't think of anywhere that's ideal but for weather and lifestyle Ocean Beach, California.
For culture and activities, London.
For help that my DCs need somewhere right next to an SEMH specialist school with high achievement levels which is in a large multiethnic city (DCs are adopted and DD is mixed ethnicity while DS has ADHD and challenging behaviour) (and if we could find this place, we'd move there, except that if we moved LEAs they'd probably try to shove DS into a cheaper MLD specialist school).
And for wildlife and an amazing outdoor lifestyle for the DCs, on a safari camp in East Africa.

Switzerland. I like the climate but the biggest draw is that it is so central in Europe so very easy to visit all the other countries around it whenever I wanted.

London - a good part.
I moved away to buy a decent home, & can't afford to go back now.
