Positano on Amalfi Coast. Stunning place.

International Space Station.

But honestly, somewhere I can talk to the locals (after trying to learn their language) that also has decent internet speeds.

New Zealand.

Awesome countryside. Especially the north island. Think Ireland with a bit more sunshine.

Did you mean the Carpenter Bee? Their favourite place to live is in dead wood or bamboo.

The whole coast there is sublime.

Maori and Minori are lovely, and thought Salerno was like driving in GTA Vice City.

Matera and Alberobello in the south (well, south east) are well worth a visit as well.

I see what you did there

For me? A little island off the coast, with good internet, where I could work from home and chat to the locals during the day on my jaunt to the local shop for my pipe-tobacco and new shawl.

But reality? Is quite different.

Nürburg , within easy reach of petrolhead heaven.

Anywhere in the Netherlands would be nice. I'd also love the south of France.

I couldn't live in a rural area it would do my b*llocks to be honest. Some people are citing isolated parts of the USA etc but while scenic out of the way places are nice to visit I just think the regularity and isolation would drive me mental after a while. I've been to 25 countries and the only place I could see myself living in other than Ireland or England would be somewhere like Bilbao in the Basque Country, nowhere else would appeal hugely.

For me my goal is to move back to Cork when I'm around 50. It's a small, navigatable city (more a big town really) with an amazing culture and character. It can have a great buzz around it at times and has fantastic pubs as well as arts and music scenes. In 45 minutes you could be casting for mackerel off the rocks or angling for trout by a river. You have places like the Galtees and numerous other walks a short spin away as well as having West Cork down the road or even Kerry for the odd weekend. Hillwalking, hiking etc are all on your doorstep.

I miss it a lot and in twenty years hope to be back please god.

Rural Donegal in winter hmm?

See - that's my idea of a living nightmare.

Its not the Antarctic. Winters have been getting milder and milder each passing year in the West of Ireland.

Austria.

Zermatt in Switzerland. Wake up every morning and look at the Matterhorn for a while to set me up for the day.

Apple are hiring.

It's a great city harmed by the incomprehensible warbling of its locals.

Downtown Miami is a bit of a kip. Full of flash cars and peacocking.

The job I do now leaves me pretty much unhirable in large swathes of the private sector unfortunately, I'm happy with where I am at the moment but I can't see myself growing old in London to be honest.

Also the Cork accent is one of prose, song and poetry.

Spent the last few winters in Donegal and while I must admit I found the first 2 a little grim, once you know what to expect and prepare accordingly (Lots of turf fires and wooly clothes), it is hard to beat!

Wood bee?
Do you mean carpenter bee? In wood.

osarusan · 07-03-2017 11:01AM

Places I've been: Matsumoto, Japan. Lived there for a year and it was the nicest place I've lived.

Places I've never been: Victoria, British Columbia. Seems to be a nice city and you are near the water, and you have the entire North American continent to explore.

I don't think I could live in some of the rural locations people have posted. amazing for a holiday, but I'd say it would get a bit monotonous after a while.

Ireland. If I had to live abroad, maybe Dartmoor in England, or rural France, Tuscany, or the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Haha. You know, it would be lonely and it wouldn't be much fun to grow old in the Blue Ridge Mountains . I've changed my mind.

Berlin for me, unreal city.

DanielODonnell · 07-03-2017 10:02PM

In a forest preferably alone like in the film Into the Wild.

or

A farm house out in the middle of Texas or somewhere away from city people

Venice is easily the most beautiful man made place Ive ever been. I loved visiting, but (quite hypocritically) I don't think I would like to live there among all the tourists who've made it into a bit of a disneyland sadly

where wood bee you're favorite place to live?
