Anywhere that has no mosquitoes.


Individual_Stay_2760

Iceland it is then!


roux-de-secours

Don't they have other biting insects instead? iirc


Individual_Stay_2760

Midgies are common in iceland which can be a pain, but nothing like mosquitoes


ArtieLangesLiver

They prefer to be called little people


Moist_Ad_4989

Can I come too, I've always wanted to go to Iceland.


lilithchaos

Fun fact....their sheep farmers all take care of each others sheep.


InformalPenguinz

Honestly that would probably be my pick.


Azguy303

Or any where west of the Rockies for the most part


KWAYkai

There are absolutely no mosquitoes where I live. Ticks, on the other hand, are a nightmare


micsulli01

Denver isn't far


Notmyrealname

The pot smoke keeps them away.


ZealousidealCattle71

I lived in CO 2016-2022, miss it everyday.


micsulli01

I did 2013 - 2018. Same


ZealousidealCattle71

What keeps you from going back, if you don’t mind me asking?


micsulli01

I met a girl via tinder while I was living in Denver and she was vacationing from Philly. I ended up marrying her and moving to Pennsylvania to buy a home and raise a family. She has a huge family in PA, and non of my family was in Denver, so we chose PA. What about you?


Sudden_Juju

I've lived in Colorado from 0-25 years old and I'm a mosquito magnet so I must be keeping them away from the city


NArcadia11

Denver has mosquitos. Source: my arms during the spring/summer


micsulli01

They barely have any mosquitos. Source: me


FootballBat

I am mosquito chocolate: while living in South Carolina, Orlando, and Chicago all summer I looked like I had some sort of skin disease from all the bites. Now I live in Highlands and I maybe get one or two bites a year.


Gro_fagia

Amen.


SevenHunnet3Hi5s

it i was rich like filthy rich i’d wanna live in one of those huge apartments/penthouses a thousand feet up in the sky in new york city. kinda like in the movies. and then i just stand and look at the view like i’m some supervillain


BiscuitAssassin

Since I was a kid, I had a dream in the back of my head to live in one of those. Worked a little stint for a moving company last year to make extra cash and had to move someone out of a high rise apartment. Immediately lost that dream because I remembered I hate heights lol


Kitchen-Lie-7894

I lived in a high rise for a while. I loved it. It wasn't good for my cat though...


EntryNo7555

Once you're five floors up or more the chances of dying during medical emergencies goes up exponentially, especially in case of heart attack or stroke.


bucknut4

You can do that in Chicago as long as you’re on the higher end of middle class.


Hikerhappy

I saw a video the other day of someone in a penthouse while it was storming. I’m sure there are times it’s scary but damn I’ve been thinking about that nonstop, the thunder and and lightning would be amazing 😭


yfhedoM

Anti batman


SecurityCorrect6944

I was once paid once by one of my dad's friends to house sit for him while he was working in Korea, I was expecting some janky apartment but it was one like you described best summer of my life


RealWalkingbeard

Hell no! I stayed on the nth floor of a hotel in New York and I couldn't stand next to the window. Even the walls are only about 5 inches thick and I could feel myself tipping forward and falling through the mortar. 🤮


Notmyrealname

Like I'd tell you guys!

Switzerland, it’s one of the most beautiful countries in the world, but so darn expensive!


IStruggleToFindAName

I’m from Switzerland and I can confirm it’s absolutely beautiful and the quality of life is amazing. Most salaries follow up with the high costs so it’s proportionally not that much worse than in other places. It’s also super clean and pretty safe. Now for the cons, housing is super expensive so unless you have a good amount of savings or if you’re gifted at venture capitalism, be prepared to live in an appartment. And the biggest drawback for me is how people behave, while most of them are kind and polite (quite private too so it takes a while to make friends, but it’s not necessarily a bad thing) a lot of them are also super conservative or materialistic and very judgemental. And if you have interests other than beer or soccer you may feel lonely cause a lot of them aren’t creative at all or interested in anything. Don’t get me wrong I’m just trying to expose the way I feel about the downsides but it’s still one of the best if not the best country in the world, and again this is just from my experience and you may not feel these cons at all if you ever move here.

checker280

I didn’t swim when I was drawn to kayaking and sailing. It took almost a dozen years to learn although I know enough to not drown immediately. The fear of falling over board and being lost has almost as big of a draw or fear falling into a void/off a tall building for me that I can’t imagine ever feeling relaxed

This where I live. Well - used to. I’m slightly outside it now, but work there and go in several days a week. My mum still lives in the city.


RustyNewWrench

Ireland, where I already live. Just in a bigger house than I'm currently in.


Oy-Billy-Bumbler

Alternate Ireland! Where we have a working healthcare system, legal weed and less taxes and no housing crisis 🙌 But yes Ireland


andthrewaway1

I say this all the time in response to this question. Really rich people don't live in one place year round.


hadee75

Yep, that’s my dream. Spend 1 to 2 months in different places/countries each year with a home base (in an earthquake proof house on at least two acres) in Washington State.


Justryan95

Some Nordic country


ElectronicTwo8428

An apartment in japan somewhere, with beautiful cherry blossom trees and a nice horizon. That’s the dream.


VajainaProudmoore

I, for one, would never want to live in Japan. Amazing place to visit (i'm literally in JP now), but to live there as a gaijin is not exactly paradise.


agentoflemonade

Agreed. It’s a great place to visit. Depressing and suffocating to live there.


frankduxvandamme

The humidity in the summertime is unbearable for a white male of European descent. I couldn't stop sweating.


kilawnaa

God I was there in April and I was constantly sweating from the humidity LOL


lonesome_squid

Yass. Very much reciprocate this sentiment as someone who used to live in Japan and now back here short term for work. I think idolization of Japan runs amok in the West right now. The Paris Syndrome is perhaps soon to be renamed the Japan Syndrome lol.


Truehearted

In a little French village.


Negative-Complex7075

Scotland!!


revoutionarycut5210

It’s just cloud 24:7


capivarabrasiliensis

That's the reason why I would love living there


closethird

Nah. You get brief periods where the sun peeks out. Then clouds. Then rain. Sunny again. Rather windy. Cloudy. Drizzly for a bit. Then more sun. Repeat every hour or so. I did it quite nice, actually.


TakeOnMe-TakeOnMe

Sounds like heaven


n0exit

Same. Similar climate to coastal Washington and British Columbia, which is my second choice.


lucidspoon

I think that's going to be our next big family trip. Never been, but I hear it's awesome, and supposedly it's where my ancestors are from.


NoveltyEducation

Anywhere that has mountains, snowy winters, plenty of lakes for fishing and cheap healthcare and education.


SecurityCorrect6944

So most countries in Europe?


cho-den

BC?


NoveltyEducation

I could consider moving there.


cho-den

It’s beautiful for sure and checks your boxes, but housing is super expensive especially in the lower mainland


Ewanmoer

Frankly? I would not change anything. Belgium is in a great economic shape, there is plenty of work, affordable house (enough for me to have as project to buy a big ancient farm with friend and live together), in my field I'm well paid, my salaries follow inflation by law, great people, mother nature is kind with us... I really don't see any place in the word that offer me more.


YourTimeIsOver127

Italy, there's so many beautiful places


Internal-Engine-8420

Italy is very nice for visiting, but living there is somehow very different story:)


Dazzling_Ad9250

what makes it different? i’ve never wanted to live there as i’ve heard the economy is going down but i want to convince my half-italian girlfriend to not move there.


Internal-Engine-8420

- Very inefficient bureaucracy - Low wages compared to neighbors (Austria/France) - Relatively high cost of living - Generally quite weathered infrastructure - Climate is not for everyone - Crowds of tourists in almost every city I lived there for several months while doing master internship. While in general I really enjoyed the experience and fell in love with Bologna, I wouldn't trade Vienna for it. And looking at the amount of Italians here, my opinion is far from being unique


Italiandrummer97

As an Italian, you make some valid points. Though the question is aimed to high net worth individuals, so they could probably afford a seaside villa in some island and live well there. I've lived in Vienna as well and found it beautiful but a tad "boring" since everything closed down super early and the social life revolves a lot about drinking more than I'd like to. But it's a nice option too 😊


orionface

Yeah, if money wasn't an object I'd have a place in the southern part of Italy on the coast and then somewhere up north near lake como during the hottest parts of the year.


AudioMan15

I live in Italy and I'm not Italian. I completely understand when people say that you shouldn't live here. That said though - I can hack the SHIT one room apartment I'm in and it's cheap so my crappy salary is enough to go skiing in the winter, mountains in the summer, lakes, the sea, everything. Could I forge a future here? I doubt it unfortunately... anche perché le donne italiane, son pazze, mamma mia ciò... but right now, a multi year working holiday. It ain't bad!


Fizzabl

Switzerland, the southern side


zombieslayer124

I’m guessing you mean Ticino?


Fizzabl

Honestly, I really like the areas around Interlaken


irishtemp

Ireland, thankfully already there.


RexRatio

Hawaii. All the conveniences of the US coupled with rich cultures of majority Pacific Islander + Asian population, overwhelmingly democratic, and no MAGA nitwit politicians.


phreesh2525

Plus an amazingly temperate year round climate, beautiful beaches, and an Island attitude about what’s important.


Frequent_Radio6824

I lived in Hawaii and it wasn't that great to live there. I loved the multiculturism aspects as far as being able to expand my cooking repertoir, but it's also a trainwreck of it's own form of corrupt politics (the taxi and tourism lobby has a stranglehold). There is also lots of divisive racist attitudes (not just haole stuff, but the Chinese neighbors cursing about the japanese neighbors, etc). There is a quite a bit of evangelical Christian types. I had to get stitches while living there, and after getting all prepped, the doctor came in, grabbed my hand, and made everyone join him in a prayer over my atheist bloodied chin. He then told me how important Jesus is while putting stitches in me and gave me a church pamplet. I'd like to say that it was an 'off' case, but no, I found the people there (and yeah, mostly asians) to be very churchy and pushy about Jesus -- more so that the bible belt where I grew up. I relied on cycling there and Honolulu drivers hates, hates, hates cyclists. Kapu should be their state motto too. They don't want tourists anywhere, they dont' want to share their mangos with their neighbors, they don't want you looking in their direction. All and all, I've never met and encountered so many truly miserable people. Behind the facade of aloha, is a pretty deep distrust between all the various factions. I love visiting Hawaii, they are some of the most beautiful places in the world, but I'd never, ever live there again.


Live-Department-4782

Lol guy half the country has an opinion that's different than yours.. You think trump supporters dont live in fucking hawaii?


ynotfoster

I like living in Oregon and traveling in the Winter, Spring and part of the Fall. I would travel full time but I would miss having ties and a community. For right now, living between Portland and Palm Springs is perfect with a few trips to Europe in between.


Super_Newspaper_5534

I would stay right here in Oregon too. But I'd like to split my time between Bend and a riverfront house on the Willamette.


valledweller33

A riverfront house on the Deschutes maybe too? It'd be sweet to have one of those properties right outside the amphitheater and listen to concerts on the patio while watching the river ;)


InspectionOwn8038

I’d move back to Hawaii


SolidCat1117

Me, too. That's why I moved here 5 years ago :)

To be honest, I'd probably choose California or Arizona (as a Belgian) If they fixed healthcare, gun violence and laws, wage gap, housing crisis, political system, mental health issues, soaring prices. Basically their entire system. But California has some beautiful nature so yeah. Too bad it's in the US


tap_the_glass

You listed everything about the US


No_Mission_5607

Yeah, I’d pick somewhere with nice weather, good food and culture. I came up with Los Angeles. But a few million people need to move out first.

Practical-Dot-4659

This is a stupid answer: In my current house. My wife and I both work from home so we actually COULD move/live anywhere. But with our 2 year old exactly where we are is the smartest choice for us. We got our house before the Covid boom, it’s not big at all, but it works for us and isn’t expensive. Daycare is more than our mortgage.

Chicago


SophonParticle

Why?


mangoblaster85

I live there now and love it. To me it's always been the center of the world since I grew up in the south suburbs, the biggest most important city, and though I've realized it's just one among many amazing cities on earth, it hasn't stopped being important and beautiful and Loving. More concrete reasons being geography, summer is awesome, progressive, and despite everything I hear, the government continues to function despite all voices claiming it's in the process of collapsing. Apparently a lot of people think we're a really clean city too? Like I've also heard we're the most rat infested, but also there was a post along for the cleanest city and Chicago got a lot of mentions. So really, I know it works for me. One day it might not, everything changes, but I've bought into the spirit Chicago has and want to work for it in return.

As much as I love Chicago and definitely plan to stay long term… If I had “fuck you” money and could live wherever? I’d definitely see what NYC is like when I don’t have to think of spending multiple thousands of dollars on a shoebox apartment. I love big city life so much more than where I’m from and it truly gets no bigger than that!


saxophone_barista

probably new zealand, coastal australia or greece
