Valencia.

Fantastic old town, great bars and restaurants, near the beaches, not over run with tourists/pickpockets etc. A great city, much nicer than Barcelona.

Las Vegas because of every positive reason there is.

Paris. I am just so very in love with Paris.

I might book a weekend there soon now that I think of it

Just spent a week in San Francisco and driving down the coast and I really want to move there. My perfect climate, great food and bars, people are so nice and it just feels like I fit there.

Don't think I would want to live in SF city itself but somewhere within an hour of it would be perfect.

Currently sitting on my cousin's deck being baked alive in New Jersey and while it is lovely to be here I couldn't live here. The winters would kill me.

I'd quite happily live in Sausalito for part of the year.

It is a gorgeous little town actually. That cycle around the lake was gorgeous.

My friend's gaff in San Leandro, California. Her house is on a hill and from her back garden there's a wonderful view of the Bay and sunset opportunities.

Bwindi Inpenetrable National Forest, Uganda. One of the few places you can trek for Mountain Gorilla. Life changing experience.

Lake Victoria shore, Kisumu, Kenya. There's a tree on the shore in a campsite I stayed in that is easily climbed and perfect for watching sunset/sunrise.

IO Theatre Chicago. Improv heaven.

Yosemite, California. Amazing place.

London. Just about anywhere in London. Love it.

Shanghai. It's like a city on a different planet. Never stops. So much to see and do.

Cartagena, Spain. A wonderful port town on the coast of Spain. The cultural area is all pedestrianised and the Roman amphitheater is awesome. My favourite part of Spain.

I'm thinking of going to Copenhagen next. What are some good things to see and do there? Is it expensive?

Between Katy Perry's legs.

Failing that, Scotland or Germany I reckon.

No I wouldn't like to go there. There's probably bits of Russell Brand's beard still there.

NZ, south island in particular. Breath taking scenery, cool people and a nice lifestyle. If only there was more industry there related to my career, I'd move there for sure.

I loved Venice. It was so different to any other city.

The blue mountains? Very average.

So many beautiful cities and areas around the world but if I had to pick a place I could live it would be NZ South Island. Possibly Nelson as I could work there and the wonderful Abel Tasman Park is on its doorstep. Place fits in with the needs of my head and my heart; the whole tempo of the region is ideal for me.

My favourite area of NZ for scenery is Coromandel Peninsula on the north island.

Ahh sorry, I thought you were one of the Prague haters. Well yeah I've heard mixed opinions too, but you'll get that with almost every city. I really enjoyed Prague, I've been there twice. Great architecture, great women, cheap beer, lots to enjoy.

I was in Lisbon recently and thought it was a kip despite having heard so many good things about it.

Really? I've been there many times and I love the place. TBF certain areas are very run down, and if your not into history then its not really the place for you, but I think its a pleasant spot. The trams, the miradouros, and the general feel of the place is great, and its much more bearable climatically than Barcelona.

Not my favourite city as its quite dirty and dilapidated in parts, but still much better than some places I've been to. Glasgow was an absolute dive IMO.

brooke 2 · 28-09-2014 11:50PM

Salzburg.

Beautiful, especially in spring.

Contessa Raven · 28-09-2014 11:53PM

My favourite city in the world (so far!) is Berlin. I just love the vibe. I've been twice now and if I got the opportunity, I'd move there in a heartbeat. Good nightlife, nice people and it always has cool exhibitions to go and see.

I was also a big fan of Prague and Venice when I went. Prague because it was really pretty and cheap and Venice because there's nowhere else like it.
