One of two places. In the Countryside in a smaller city in The United Kingdom. I love the weather and the history and feel very at home there. Or Venice Italy. My family came over from Venice to London in the Mid 1500's. I have a lot of family still there. Italians are very accommodating and kind to distant relatives no matter how distant. That is more than I can say for most of the other side of my family.

By the way lovely topic OP. I liked the question.

This reminds me of the little village which is represented on the British comedy ""Doc Martin"".on PBS

Wouldn't it be lovely even to visit the places you have mentioned?

Some of these places sound so romantic & quaint - what a great place to visit!

Maybe when I get tired of the sunshine & warmth where I want to be, I'll come visit some of you....but not the colder places!!

I love the U.K. I'd live there is a minute if I could afford it, particularly London. However, I am very close to the Canadian border, and I love Canada. I've traveled that land extensively, and I haven't found a part of it that I don't like. I was especially charmed by the laid back atmosphere of Prince Edward Island. British Columbia is lovely as well. It's a beautiful nation.

I became an American Citizen in 2011. If I HAD to, I would move back to Canada. But this is my heart's home.

British Columbia, Canada! 'Right next door'. Wonderful people, beautiful country, freedom. Smile

My husband works for a large international company and we currently live in Malaysia. The culture is very different from the U.S., and while I really like the country and the people a lot it won't be our home beyond this assignment (another 2+ years). The city I love to join my husband on a business trip to is Melbourne, Australia and I told him to keep it in mind for his next assignment. Another city I really enjoy and could easily live is Singapore! We travel there often for a weekend away and when the company gives us R&R. It might be the safest and cleanest city in the world and has a great public transportation system, so I wouldn't even have to consider owning a car there. We're flying to Singapore Thursday for the long holiday weekend (though it's not a holiday here), and I've already made reservations to spend Christmas and New Year's there at the end of the year because I love it so much.

Wow.

If I had to live all year around, I'd pick a country that is warm for sure. Like Belize, Majorca, southern Spain, or Gibraltar, though Gibraltar has water problems. I love Japan or Singapore too.

Vancouver, BC is beautiful but I couldn't take the winters.

I want my own island away from all the worldly annoyances. But with all the creature comforts my little heart desires.
