Norge! For I know a bit of language and could live in the hills far away from everybody.

Italy

Rural southern Russia - the people are lovely, the climate similar to Italy or Greece, but I'd have to have a good internet connection!

Really ? rural southern Russia isn't cold?

The cold factor has ruled out about three other places I like. ( like Scotland, Ireland, which is probably wet ?)

Ah, yes, but does it rain, snow and THUNDER all at once? Lewis Black (comedian) says that happened to him in Boston once.

Southern Russia reaches down to 45 degrees north of the equator, it gets hot enough to grow walnuts, peaches, grapes, olives ... that's hot enough for me!

I could see myself there as well. I took French at the US Defense Language Institute (Presidio of Monterey, CA), spent time backpacking through the Normandy region (not exactly tourist class), got a birds eye view of the countryside from under canopy (awarded the French military parachutist badge), and I appreciate their wines (I'm still drinking '82 Chateau Margaux that I bought on release in the mid '80s in addition to various great '89 & '90 Bordeaux classified growths.) While I was there, several French households received me warmly. On an individual basis, they don't forget their allies. I certainly wouldn't mind pedaling my vintage Raleigh Competition out to the airfield/drop zone on weekends. Yes, despite the difference in ideologies, I could live with that.

according to the atlas. I think Europe has it all but Italy has something for everyone.

im glad a lot of people said Australia. I too would like to see all of my country - if anyone is into lounge surfing just PM me -

i havent seen enough of this globe to settle on a place yet. i would LOVE to see the states and i think i would have an absolute ball there. Europe may beok when i am a little older and want to do the whole expensive luxury trip. i have been around the pacific islands and i really like mystery island. i could sleep in a hammock and eat lobster the rest of my life.
