Where would you live if you could live anywhere?

[Lion400]

Probably not the right section, but I wondered what people thought about living somewhere they don’t live atm!

Where I live now. On a cliff in Swansea, Wales. I've lived a fair few different places but this is the best and we won't be moving again.

@Parker231 my H really loves Quebec- I've not been- we might go for new year this year

Prefect!

@TheBirdintheCave I must admit it did feel quite like that when we lived in Copenhagen too - did you watch the Sue Perkins 2 parter in Japan this weekend- very enjoyable!

I love where I live! Portobello in Edinburgh. The prom, beach, lots of lovely independent businesses on the high street, a short bus ride away (or a longer walk) into the city centre which has everything you could want and more. I find Edinburgh so beautiful, I could never live anywhere else now. I feel lucky every day. And I hate hot weather so I’m grand on that front.

Agreed! I lived in Zurich (so not the mountains but it’s all quite close). Loved it. Not sure I’d call it affordable, well no more than London or similar. I’d live there again for sure. Swiss German too difficult for me though. Still embarrassingly they all seem to speak at least 3 languages!

A gorgeous city. Rains a lot but so does everywhere these days ☔️

I live in Switzerland, the French speaking part, and it’s fabulous.

But I miss the sea. Since I speak Italian I’d have to say on the Ligurian coast. I think Sestri Levante or even Genova.

That’s a nice feeling to know you’ll not move again. I’d like that!!

I live by the sea now and miss the mountains and the city!

I never want to leave London. I just want more money to live more comfortably! Johnson was right.

@Lion400 yep- we always have a couple of days staying in Palma when we go to Mallorca (which we do a fair bit) lovely upmarket indoor food market too- and if it's a shitty day (rare but has happened ) we nip to Porto pi on the edge which is a big indoor shopping centre . There is a reason the Germans and scandis flock there.

Texas, Houston, Somewhere in Italy or Mallorca.

In the UK where I am in Cornwall but I would want a sea view which I can't afford. I do live 5 minutes walk to the beach though. It's been raining for 6 months here so I would like to abroad really.

I'd live in Paxos in Greece, or North East Corfu. Amalfi Coast is a bit too busy, but somewhere coastal in Italy.

What was Johnson right about?

Son is in Vancouver and absolutely loving it.Skiing in Whisler at weekends. Visiting in July…so excited 😛

Highly recommend - it’s a gorgeous city as are the surrounding areas

"Why, Sir, you find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford."
— Samuel Johnson

😀I am speaking only for myself. I am not someone who likes peace and quiet year round. I like busy cities and lots of stuff to do.

Monaco. Not many places in the world where you can ski in the morning and spend the afternoon on the beach but it is possible from Monaco.

I too love cities and lived in the centre of London for many years but won’t be living in the uk again.

Ooh no. I know she's done one before. Is this a new one? :)

Gower would be on my list, love it there!

abroad would be Costa Rica for the nature, lifestyle and people although it rains a little too much so would have to do part of the year somewhere dryer.

@TheBirdintheCave not sure if it was new or a repeat!

New York (mostly so I could show off about it) and Norway in the summer. If I had to choose one, Norway all year round. Its so beautiful and civilised, from what I can see.

San Diego
