Imagine that you are fed up with your life where you live at the moment and need change. Or that you have won the lottery and can afford to live in the place of your dreams. Or that some unfortunate events force you to leave your place of residence. Or any other reason that would make you want to move.

The world is yours, you do not have to worry about visas, job or money. Where would you choose to live ? Which continent, which country, which city ?

I would love to live in several parts of Europe, like Venice, Italy and Nice, France. Maybe somewhere in the Netherlands. I would love to live in London because it's a very diverse city. If I could live in Asia, I would move to Hong Kong or a city in Japan, probably Osaka. I would even enjoy living in the United Arab Emirates, Dubai in particular. There's a lot of places I would choose to live.

 

[Tesseract]

ireland

 

[Compsiox]

Japan.

I want to spend a year there as a student at a Japanese language school and get a part time job while I'm at it. Tokyo preferably. Maybe Kyoto.

 

[K1Expwy]

Definitely an island. Populated or not, doesn't matter. Feeling surrounded by ocean in every direction is really peaceful. City life used to be tons of fun and excitement, but nowadays I want to get far away from that environment.

No island in particular, I have few places in the Caribbean, southwestern Europe, Africa, Australia or Micronesia in mind

 

[Stiflers Mom]

Naaah, Munich is the best place in the world, and I am happy here.
I tried living somewhere else (Tokyo, around 2001) for a year and a half, and it was shit after a while.

I always dreamed about living on some hot island, like in the Carribean or the Seychelles.
Until I actually went there.
It's fun for two weeks, but imagining being there in that humid hot weather all year long, I'd get crazy.

No thanks.

 

[GoldenEye Samurai]

I’d like to live somewhere in Japan. Not sure if it’d be Tokyo, though. I have just always been infatuated with the culture. I would like to learn Japanese and honestly, if I could learn fluent Japanese and afford to live there the rest of my days, I would. I feel like that is where I belong in this world for some reason.

Maybe because you are a weeb?

 

[petercohen090]

I would love to live in asian countries like india. India is a country where people wear their traditional clothes very confidently and comfortably. Some outfits like lehenga, saree and kurtis comes in unique pattern and design.

Maybe?

 

[GymWolf]

Amsterdam.

I love the chill, the atmosphere and the legal ganja.

Canada second place, i heard people are nice and there is even more high quality legal ganja

Or just australia to live near to cunth.

I went for 3 weeks last summer. Coming back home was extremely hard. I was actually mildly depressed for a while upon returning. When I go back I'm not sure I'll go back home.

 

[Thing on a Spring]

I loved Thailand and the Netherlands so either of those.

 

[GoldenEye Samurai]

I envy you. It must have been hard coming back home. It must be a wonderful place to be. I can only imagine how beautiful and awe inspiring it truly is.

 

[Cockles & Whelks]

Of all the places I visited (from UK).

Thailand (first wife was from the land of smiles), Berlin and Santorini in Greece (got married there).

Oh and how could I forget Ibiza!

 

[Stiflers Mom]

What, you have never been there?

 

[slugbahr]

I would live in Australia.

The drop bear life!

 

[Woo-Fu]

Think I'd live on a yacht if I could live anywhere. Choose a new anchorage every season.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

I would have several acres in the middle of nowhere.

 

[teezzy]

Canada or northern Michigan

I like what I know

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Upper peninsula MI or a cold corner of Minnesota, maybe. Waterfront optional, but large tract of land required. I'm grateful that I'm where I'm at, though. I'd never move outside of the USA, even if given the option/finances.

 

[Super Mario]

Realistically, southern USA. Somewhere not too far from the beach. It's just a more blissful life.

I don't think I would ever move to a foreign country. It's really not impossible for a lot of people to do so now, financially. It's just a lot to up a move away from everyone you know, learn a new culture/language, take on a different career, etc. If I did, probably Italy or Thailand.

 

[lock2k]

Midwest USA, Portugal (Lisbon), Italy (Rome) or Mexico City.

If I'm thinking Brazil, Florianópolis would be the dream choice. I almost got a job there a while ago.

[EverydayBeast]

California but they have fires it’s gonna be multiple locations around the world for sure

 

[Slings and Arrows]

California but they have fires it’s gonna be multiple locations around the world for sure

In one of those locations you find a turtle on its' back, baking in the heat of a scorching sun. Do you flip it over or leave it?

 

[MrS]

Iceland
Edinburgh
Berlin

 

[nkarafo]

Maybe Norway.

I hate Greece's constant summer and hot weather with a tiny bit of winter for a couple of months. I prefer snow, cold and cozy fireplaces.

 

[keraj37]

Rain forest.
easy

 

[Elpidio Valdés]

I would stay in Florida. I would move to the West Coast of the state though, maybe somewhere around Naples or Bonita Springs. Warm all year round, big house next to the beach, feel the sea breeze and smell the ocean. That's pure bliss for me!

 

[Cunth]

Italy somewhere nice. Lake como?

 

[The Hamburglar]

Zimbabwe. My savings will be make me a billionaire there

 

[Nester99]

Vancouver Island.

 

[johntown]

Hawaii and specifically Maui somewhere back in Hana.

 

[Porcile]

Already did it (Japan and still here for better or worse) now I'd like to go and live in Taiwan or somewhere a bit more tropical like that. Before all the shit kicked off there Hong Kong too. People saying Japan here make me cringe. Probably it reminds me of my own pathetic weebery.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

People saying Japan here make me cringe. Probably it reminds me of my own pathetic weebery.

Yep. Same here.

 

[DESTROYA]

Mars......I would teraform the shit out of the planet.

 

[The Pleasure]

I want to experience the INSANE cultire of Japan

 

[Mattyp]

Traveled most countries in the world, honestly still can't beat Australia however.

UK - Ireland
Europe - Croatia, Montenegro, Southern Italy
Asia - Singapore

 

[Dural]

Carpinteria, CA

Lived here for a few years as a child, it's beautiful and has a small town feel but is ridiculously expensive.

 

[TaySan]

England or anywhere in Europe really.
West coast USA
Israel

 

[jufonuk]

Edinburgh

 

[Threeshotgamer]

U.P of Michigan. Had some contracted runs a few years ago during the fall and it was absolutely gorgeous. Would need a large tract of land though.

 

[eddie4]

Away from people, preferably in the northern hemisphere, in an off-grid location, powered by solar and starlink so I can still browse gaf, but be able to just live off the land.

 

[TaySan]

Also to add, my homestate Utah. One of the most beautiful places in the states.

 

[Batiman]

The Shire

 

[Newly Vacant]

Upper peninsula MI

That's my choice as well. I've been looking at property up there for a while.

 

[Mihos]

Themyscira

 

[HellforLeather]

I honestly dont think I would leave the states unless things really turned sour here. There is just a unique mix of cultures and topography that I havent seen replicated anywhere else in my travels.

Maui would be nice but the island might be too limited. Colorado around the Silverton area would be amazing but it practically snows in during the winter.

 

[Elektro Demon]

Somewhere in India. They have such a unique culture.

 

[LaughingStock]

Florida.
