GTKY -where would you live?

[emmagk]

If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be? Money and job is not important

[sstwinklinglites]

Man, I haven't traveled enough to answer this. If money is no object, I freaking love NYC... but with babe now, I don't think it's where I would want to raise my family.

[kittyriot]

San Francisco. Everything about the city and the region speaks to me. I feel like it's my city kindred spirit. Or I'd move to Dublin.

[jsquaree]

If I could live anywhere, I'd live everywhere. I'd hate to be stuck in one place.

[meggypoo1]

Somewhere warm! I hate winter and the cold! We had our honeymoon in Hawaii and we loved it! Maybe there! I have always wanted to go to Ireland and Paris! Can't say that's where I would like to end up because I have never been! Then there is Boston where I am originally from and I miss that place so much (even though it is cold)! I love Florida too! Ahh hard question!

Totally not related but DH just leaned over and was like "what's GTKY mean? Get the KY." I gave him this weird look and said "get to know you" and was he was like "oh I thought it was a thread for everyone to bitch about people getting butt hurt!" I had a good laugh and thought I would share!

[kendy20]

We live in Florida but are from Cali. We also lived in two different places in Oregon and I would have to say that's where we wished we could be. We loved how simple life was and how we had all the seasons. Plus it's closer to all of our family.

[bazingaa]

I'd split my time. In the summer I'd go to Wyoming and hang out near Yellowstone. In the winter I'd head to St. John in the Virgin Islands. Those places are by far my favorite past vacation spots from trips DH and I have gone on.

I go there often for work and always feel intimidated. The taxi ride from the airport is enough to scare me off! 

[ns1]

Closer to family. I never thought it would be such a big deal to be far from family, but every time we add a kid it means more and more to me! (Wow, talk about sap!)

I guess for the same reason it intimidates you I love it. It's so larger than life, that it's like... do your thing and nobody cares. I thought I would hate it the first time I went, because I lived in Miami my whole life and hated it (over - crowded, awful traffic, rude people, etc., etc.), but I loved it. And I didn't find it to be anything like Miami.

[bazingaa]

sstwinklinglites well, the town I'm in now is 'big city' compared to where I grew up, so that has a lot to do with it!

I agree with you! We are far away from family and it was hard enough before we had a kid.

[athn64]

In the mountains somewhere, far away from everyone. Yep, I'm one of those.

BOX


Gah my first stuck in box on PB.

And it can be a little overrated. I love having my family close, but I wish some of them would move FAR away

[jennyinheaven]

I think Seattle, my brother and his wife lived there for awhile and I loved it always felt so relaxed and enjoyed the attitude of people there

So true! It was actually really hard going back home for the holidays because my mom and MIL judged the shit out of everything we did! I was like this is why I am happy I am not home all the time. But I miss them again! I mainly miss my sister! She is my best friend!

I quite enjoying living away from family. I hate having to split time between two families for everything.

[scotty138]

I live in the Midwest and love being close to family. If family wasn't a factor we would live in Wyoming, Montana, or Alaska. DH would love Alaska.

[Deleted]

I'd like to be back in the NW where I grew up -- which may happen yet. I wish I lived close to my family, even within driving distance of some sort, but probably will never happen.

[redinlove]

Home will always be home, and we'll always have at least a small home here. But we plan on having a second home where it is warm. We're open to anything from Florida to St. Thomas USVI.

[katzalia]

Hmm, that's tough. Toronto maybe -- an awesome city and we have family and friends there. Or somewhere urban-ish on the west coast? San Francisco or San Diego, or Vancouver. Or even Seattle, where we also family and friends. But in this ideal world, I would definitely be able to take off a month straight of vacation every year and travel.

[haykay13]

I'm originally from Ohio, in North Florida now. I think I would go to South Florida or Southern California. Somewhere a little warmer than here. I would also love to have a summer home in Ohio to enjoy a milder summer & get away from the tourists.

[Susan0utLoud]

I honestly love where I live. I wouldn't move. Everything I need and want is here in Seattle. But I would love a vacation home in Kona on the Big Island.

[ho11yday]

I have happy fond memories of summers in Pennsylvania/Wisconsin so...summer home! And winter where I'm at: nothing beats Arizona!

[babybarlow2014]

Not in South Western Kansas.

Germany? Maybe France.

[clubsoda]

I'm with jsquaree (how do you tag someone?). I wouldn't want to be in one place. I'd probably have a home base out west somewhere and then travel. My sister's friend's dad invented Slim Fast so she doesn't work--she just travels all the time. I follow her on Instagram. It's pretty epic.

[becole]

If I could do it over I would move to NYC. Or Charleston.

On one hand I enjoy that we have seasons in Ohio but we don't get the snow storms we used to get. I guess I'd pick either somewhere warm or somewhere that gets lots of snow. But I want my family to move with us.

I'm so bummed we've gotten like 30 seconds of snow this season! Wtf? I want DS to play in the snow for a a little bit.

Andplusalso, what's the point of the cold if it's not accompanied by snow?

I've been waiting for the right conditions for DD to play in the snow. We have some, but it's been too cold and then I was working. We're going to try tomorrow.

You're in IL aren't you? I feel like much of the NE & MW has gotten tons of snow, and us over here in the Tristate have been denied.
