Park Life 70 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Although NZ looks stunning I think it may be a little bit too much of a step back in time for me - prefer somewhere a little more cosmopolitan and vibrant. Saying that, my favourite parts of the word vary from fantastic cities to coastal towns and countryside. I could happily live in Australia, New York (an apartment in Manhattan please) a farmhouse in France or Italy, a town house in Dublin, Barcelona or in one of the non-touristy, hidden spots in northern Mallorca. Anywhere pretty and interesting, and it has to be close to the sea. Olive farms are nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were the only people in the village who spoke English like, so trying to buy anything involved pointing and speaking very loud in English.

I enjoyed Santa Barbara for some reason...the women are very nice there! Costs a fotune though throughout the better bits of California. ont fancy the idea of ending up in a trailer park.

Guest Patrokles Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Northeast of America, Norway, New Zealand, somewhere in the mountains, possibly a quiet village in the shadow of Mt. Fuji. Who you're with is more important than where you are, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fresh local produce is something to behold in places like Tuscany. I spent a few months in the middle of France Massif Central (sp) with a French girl on a farm.....The sheer stillness..Beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donaldstott 0 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I'd be happy to live anywhere that had English as a first language. i'm totally the opposite, i hate going anywhere where they all speak english, it makes a holiday too easy..

I could definitely live in Madrid, or anywhere in Northern Italy.. esp around Florence My main reason for native English speakers is because I want to be a journalist - I'll struggle in English nevermind if I need to learn a new language. I know some countries may have English publications for ex-pats and the like but I'd have to be guaranteed a job with one of those before I'd think about moving. I'm all for going on holidays elsewhere but I couldn't live somewhere without English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
