Haven't travelled the world enough to know, but I choose Califooonia!

OP said NOT your home country though.

But yeah, if I had to be somewhere for the rest of my life, California would be a pretty good place.


Oops! Well, I still don't really know. Still gotta check out a few places like Singapore, Thailand, and Dubai.

Maybe there's a technological playland out there where rich people frolick that I don't know about.

The mobile home on a Condo lot I just bought on Vancouver Island. Time to retire - I'm old - and what the heck. The place is 200 meters from the Marina and a boat came with the trailer.

I'd choose an old town or city in Europe. Probably France (say Bordeaux or Toulouse) but possibly Germany (Cologne or Munich maybe). I love being soaked in history, and I love navigating foreign cultures and languages. I'd also be able to travel easily to other parts of Europe, including Britain, and it wouldn't be so hard to get on a plane to the US, another place that I have lately felt an attraction to. I'd be in a somewhat foreign culture, but I'd still be in the West, enjoying western culture and mentality. I love exploring outside the West, but if I had to choose a permanent base, ideally I'd settle somewhere in the Western world. But not Australasia (too far from the rest of the world).

As long as money and a visa are available, I'd choose Norway or Sweden. High standard of living, great climate (for me), and terrific people.


I'd go with this. I'll be moving back to Sweden in three years. Lived there for four years before coming to Korea. Only place I'd consider settling down. The high standard living does come at a cost though!! Norway I believe is more expensive than Sweden. Oslo was recently voted the most expensive city in the world to live in. Would love to live in Bergen. But stockholm will do.

Norway is beautiful, and when I was young I always dreamed of living there. These days, I've realised that I love warm weather and less serious living. Thailand for me.

If it is somewhere where I can never leave, I would probably pick somewhere in the US that's similar enough to home. Maybe Vermont. I choose this because I know that I probably won't get that sick of it.

However, providing that maybe I can still do a bit of moving around I would pick Japan hands down. Japan might be my number 1 even if I can't move, but who knows if I would get sick of it after 30 or so years.

I know who you are, karma police. Your link at the bottom gives it away. It hit me for some reason. Daegu by any chance. Sorry nothing to do with the topic. Back to it....
