Somewhere in the pacific. I love coral reefs and sailing

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 4 points 2 days ago

My current house. The problem is moreso about distance to friends and family than money and visa.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Nowhere, I'd travel. If money was endless I would be happily homeless because we could travel in style.

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I like it here where I live. But if i had to go somewhere else I'd probably be Switzerland. Why you ask? Cuckoo clocks.

Ireland is looking nice, or Scotland if they ever decide to free themselves from the Empire.

Spain is also near the top.

[–] bigbabybilly@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Norway. No question.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 days ago

About three quarters of a mile northeast of where I live now.

[–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 3 points 1 day ago

I'd have to spend a long time travelling just to find the answer to this question.

[–] Balldowern@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

If money & visa requirements weren't an issue, I'd never live in ONE place. I'd be traveling the world all the time.

[–] Perspectivist@feddit.uk 3 points 2 days ago

I'd stay where I am. Nothing that's wrong in my life is because of where I live so I wouldn't expect things to be different elsewhere. Only thing that I don't like here is the long and cold winter but I don't think I'd appreciate summer the same way without it. Life needs contrast.

[–] sefra1@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

If money is no object then I wouldn't stay put in one place, and I would probably also get an yash and stay in the high seas from time to time

[–] verdi@feddit.org 3 points 2 days ago

Portugal highlands, digital government services like Estonia, great food, wine and weather. Would be away from the coast to avoid tourists.

[–] Tuuktuuk@piefed.ee 2 points 2 days ago

In a different part of this same city. I have children who have lives that I cannot break by moving away from here just now.

[–] Oberyn@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Buy decently sized boat just sail every wich way . Tꝏ much world out there to stay 1️⃣ place

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

Scandinavia sounds really nice

[–] SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago

Where I do now, in Catalunya.

However at the moment I have a big house halfway up a mountain, in a national park, surrounded by woods, and I'd rather live close to or in a small-ish town instead ... we're hoping to put the house on the market in a couple of years, once all the outstanding renovations are finished.

[–] ProfThadBach@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Just outside Inverness Scotland. Sadly. It will never happen.

[–] dunz@feddit.nu 2 points 2 days ago

Where I live now, Uppsala in Sweden, but in a fancier apartment, closer to downtown, with a proper garage.

[–] Redex68@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I haven't been to many countries/cities, but from where I was, I think London. I was truly enamored by it, it's a beautiful, walkable city with so much greenery, good public transport, and isn't too high up north.

[–] Canopyflyer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The South Pacific on a true blue water catamaran.

Bounce around as many islands as I possibly could.

[–] Makhno@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Thats been my dream for the past decade

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

Here. And they are not.

Canadian here, I’d stay in my country. But with that being said, not where I currently am for sure. If by money not being an issue you mean I don’t need to look for a job, then I’d build a house in rural Newfoundland right on the ocean. If I have to look for a job but just don’t need to worry about housing expenses, then a nice house, oceanfront, probably BC. Not a major city, I hate big cities, but if I need work then I’d go somewhere close to a big enough city that I could find work no problem. Being able to see the water when I wake up in the mornings would be a necessity in this hypothetical scenario. I’d prefer the ocean but could do a Great Lake too if need be.

I don’t work in a field where it’s possible to work from home but if I did then I guess the same situation as not needing a job, as I can remote work in that case.

That’s just what I’d want though. Realistically, I have my wife and daughter to think about too. Raising a child isn’t easy and having support from my parents and hers has been very helpful, so I’d probably stay where I am, just in a nice house. There’s some smaller bodies of water near me, or larger bodies of water not too far away, so lakefront in my general area probably.

Where I live now. Imperial Beach, California.

Barcelona was pretty awesome. I think I'd start there, maybe with a ski cabin right on a swiss mountain.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago

toronto. im a city boy and I like its setup so this is not a canada thing even though canada would be a big step up. I also do like having four seasons. Money wise the big thing would be to live in a hirise connected to a transit station in the heart.

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Switzerland. It's got enough bunkers to protect the population during WW3, for starters.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Probably Jamaica, but I'm open to suggestions.

[–] tal@lemmy.today 1 points 3 days ago

If you're American, no visa issue if you do the US Virgin Islands or Puerto Rico.

[–] thesilentnickel@lemmy.today 0 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Russia. Fascinating place.
