London. If you can afford it.

I like Nashville, Indiana when it isn’t tourist season.

There’s a lot of great places to live, but they’re not surprisingly some of the most expensive. I would like to live in Portland, OR, NYC, Seattle, San Diego or San Francisco, Goteborg, Sweden, Cadiz, Spain, and some other places.

Paris really is pretty. One friend who lives there described the buildings as “wedding cake, wedding cake, wedding cake, wedding cake”.
San Francisco is high on my list of lovely cities.
You wouldn’t call NYC beautiful, but tthere are some very beautiful buildings, and it is very Grand.

I like rural areas much more so than big cities.

Big cities have their energy and can be fun, but my hearts in the hills, mountains.

There are SO many amazing places on this planet, being able to afford multiple houses all over the world would be quite spectacular.

I’d go for the High Sierras near where I live now in the foothills of such. I’d have a tropical beach place, a jungle pad, maybe Costa Rica or somewhere in South America. I’d have a ranch in the Rockies, a southern spread, the list goes on.

Definitely waterfront, lake and river front properties.

But, all in all, I am quite content with my little retreat here, now. :-)

The most beautiful place on earth is Sharm el-Sheikh
But I would love to live in Chicago.

Chicago owns my heart no doubt. I love that city. It treats me well. It’s too expensive yet worth every penny in my opinion. I do like being between Chicago and Saint Louis though – I do not like Saint Louis (very much at all) it’s just the nice slow paced relaxing way of life that can be peaceful at times. I can’t go more rural than STL though. I hope to head to Germany for good someday.

It’s been so long but I remember vaguely visiting the town that Herman Hesse lived in, if memory serves, such a lovely place…

London. I can feel history running through me when I’m there. It’s everywhere you look. I love the cobbled lanes and streets one can get lost in. I love the museums. I love the stateliness of St. Paul’s, Westminster Abbey, the buildings at Whitehall and Buckingham Palace. For me, to paraphrase Samuel Johnson, when you’re tired of London, you’re tired of life.

The two that come to mind for me – Prague, which has so much art and beautiful architecture, and the view across to the old town from the river is one of the most beautiful city sights I’ve ever seen.

And Toronto, which impressed me because it was so incredibly clean.

To live in though, (if I was to pick a city other than the one I currently live in) I would pick London or New York, because there’s more to living in a city than how beautiful it is.

The other place I’d like to live is in Elk Ridge, Utah. Population maybe 4000. It’s not the beauty, although it IS beautiful. It’s my beautiful friend who lives there.
