What is your favorite place in the world to be or you wish you could be?

Well, it’s probably not the same as it was, but that coastline between San Francisco and Eureka California is the most beautiful in the world, in my opinion. It’s a perfect mix of temperate climate, ocean, cliffs, redwood trees, rolling hills manicured like golf courses by white, fluffy merino sheep, winding mountain roads, small towns spaced perfectly apart, a country feeling but close enough to one of the world’s finest cities to escape once in awhile… it really is nice, but it has become one of the most expensive places in the world to live since I last lived there.

Muir Woods.

Martha’s Vineyard, sitting on a porch with an ocean view.

Assateague Island. No buildings within sight, just water, sky, sand, and occasional wildlife, including the ponies.

^^Yes. That does sound nice. The wild horses of Assateague Island.

I wish I could be on a small ship cruising the world for 3 months.

On a mountain, surrounded by forest. Towards the top, so I can see long vistas of other hills.

I prefer the east coast Appalachians – rounder mountains – than the Rockies.

I spent two months in Bar Harbor, Maine on a school project in the summer of 2013. I would do anything to just relive those months over and over again. The most peaceful time of my life.

@Espiritus_Corvus That part of the California coast is still so beautiful as I saw on that drive from Occidental to the coast that you recommended a few years ago. And still rural in feel although I’m sure as you say, it’s expensive.

I love Maine – particularly, Acadia and Mt Desert Island but not ready to go back there because of it holding too many marital memories. California I’ve made my own though.

I thought the Cascades were the prettiest place I have ever been.

in a theater

Too many to really list.

The marble mountains in Taiwan. Stunning buddhist temples carved out of the marble mountainsides. The high Sierras here on a summer night. The Sierra foothills where I live in spring, green grass and wildflowers abound.

The Redwoods and stretch of coastline that @Espiritus_Corvus mentions in NorCal here.
The Nevada desert on a starry night, mind blowing! Canyon country in Utah, unsurpassed beauty. By the river here on a hot summer day, like this.

www.coloma.com Nothing like a day on the river when it’s hotter than hell. haha

Klamath, CA

Disneyland

The sand hills of Dunhuang are incredible, or the walking trails at Tiger Leaping Gorge or the coast between Mallaig and Applecross. But right now at home by my desk is my favourite place.

@Coloma Nothing more fun than whitewater rafting without a helmet!

@Cruiser Yeah and, I not only survived the 70’s I survived helmetless white water rafting on acid too. lol
Oh the good ol’ days. haha
Take me to the river…

Dim sung. In Edmonton. With $150 limit.

That favorite place can be found in many locations.

To live? New Zealand. To visit? Ball’s Pyramid.

Stresa Italy on Lake Maggiore.

We went there for a couple days during our honeymoon years ago.

Saint Cirq Lapopie is one of my favorite villages in France. I’d be quite happy to be there.

Is it dodging the question if I say it’s not a where but a with whom?

@Lonelyheart807 Kinda…you are allowed to bring whoever you want and can keep it secret but you must disclose where you want to be with that person…so fess up!

I like canoe paddling in Queensland Australia and also Kona Hawaii. New Caledonia is another very special place.

You do get around @gondwanalon Jealous

Fairy Tale meadows, which lie at the foot of the naked mountain, Nanga Parbat, in the Himalayas.

Okay. @Cruiser. I have always wanted to visit Hawaii.

@Cruiser I’ll be in Vancouver, Canada this Saturday for a 6 mile Hawaiian outrigger canoe race and then race again in New South Wales, Australia next month to race in the 16 mile “Sydney Harbour Challenge”. Fun stuff.

Decades ago my then husband and our two little girls spent the night in a cabin up in the Grand Tetons. They provided wood for the cook stove and that thing heated up every inch of the cabin. My husband fired up the stove and cooked dinner. Then we all got into separate beds complete with ancient goosedown and slept great. Next morning I got up and looked out the bathroom window and the majestic Tetons made my head spin.
I’d like to be in a cabin , a really nice log home in the middle of the woods with a huge wood burning fireplace with a big tv in the bedroom, deer in the yard and pizza joints that deliver in the small town nearby. lol I might have a little dog and/or a kitten and my Apple computer to round out my day. The house in the movie, “Misery” might do if a cabin were not available.

Jackson Hole Montana is nice.

Or is it Wyoming? We spent time there but I don’t remember which state it is in. Geography isn’t my strong suit.

It’s in Wyoming! I was just there this past summer to see the total solar eclipse. It was definitely an incredible place!

Certainly is and on the edge of Yellowstone! Great skiing spot as well.
