If you could live anywhere in the world, with no restrictions, where would you choose to live?

And what things would be in your ideal, dream home?

I haven't been to very many places but of the places I have been that are not *here* I would live in Scotland. I had such a lovely time just being there, it was the perfect humidity and it wasn't too warm.

Dream home is a Queen Anne style Victorian.

Seconding Scotland. My ancestors were from there and I loved Edinburgh last time I was over. All the old buildings and nature and just got a tingle down my spine when I stepped off the train like, "this is home".

I'd also be satisfied with a little cabin at the edge of the woods where I could just become the village witch.

I think I'd probably love to live back in Boston if I could. And I'm not entirely sure about my ideal home, but I know it it would be filled with bookshelves and cat trees.

Philadelphia. Loved that city both times I visited.

Right here in my home state in the Midwest, on a several hundred acre property just outside a medium-sized town, surrounded by woods. There'd be a long driveway with a sturdy gate at the public end, you wouldn't be able to see the house from the road. The driveway would go past a small lake, fruit orchards, a huge vegetable garden, a series of greenhouses. The house would be a sprawling ranch with inner courtyards and wings and/or outbuildings that are basically in-law suites for visitors and relatives. I'd have an enormous kitchen with everything a moderately serious cook would want, including a large walk-in pantry and fridge/freezer. Also a large, well-stocked library with a fireplace, spacious office desk, squashy chairs and chase lounges to relax on, with windows overlooking a flower garden. Everything would be homey and comfortable with lots of wood, stone and colorful rugs, not one of those white/gray monstrosities decorated like a dentist's office.

Exactly the same except for the giant kitchen. I ain't got time to clean. Just give me a spooky witch house behind a gate so I don't have to interact with people anyore.

Nah man, this is a dream, I'm not going to worry about who's cleaning.

Probably somewhere nestled in the mountains. Garmisch in the Bavarian Alps is beautiful but because I don't speak great German, the Rocky Mountains instead.

I'd love to live in a small town and have a chalet-style house with a big stone fireplace and lots of beautiful rugs and antiques and cushy furniture and a couple of dogs.

Like the current world? Or a general world?

I guess Norway. Somewhere north maybe, I love the cold and love Norway. Just a small home in a nice village off the beaten track. Somewhere warm, forested land, and just a cozy place to settle down.

Or probably New Zealand. (more likely given the current world) As south as possible. (again because I love the cold) It's beautiful there. I would live in a similar place I guess. But in more of a town, access to more things.

Without the current worlds condition, I would say Latvia. I just really fucking love Latvia.

(or if anything goes I would say Ancient Egypt.)

/ANYWHERE/ in the world! Why do you have to be so american all the time? There is an entire planet out there! Get creative!

I mean you cant actually want to live in your country right now, with it being... IT! Are your second choices Russia and North Korea?! Don't get down with indoctrination! Get UP!

(Love you guys who chose Scotland! Great answer!)

I love traveling, but I haven't found anyplace that I want to live in, full-time. America isn't a terrific place right now, but if I'm honest with myself... I would miss a lot about it if I didn't live here. My family is here. I like wide availability of public toilets, big ol' glasses of tap water with tons of ice in it, central heating and a/c, free parking, Costco, getting in my car and driving, etc.

Don't get me wrong, there's a lot I love about other places in Europe and Asia: the food, fascinating culture, historical sites, museums, the food!, cool mass transit systems, universal healthcare, beautiful landscapes, so much more. But that's for me in tourist mode. For everyday living, I'm only fluent in English, I like driving, wifi and sitting in my boring house with delightfully cool air conditioning, knowing that I can run to Costco and buy a questionable amount of sea salt caramels before grabbing a $1.50 hot dog on my way out. I'm basic af, I know.

What about Canada? They both have healthcare, everything you mentioned, and not your government, plus you could just live in Alberta, they're practically part of the US already!

my real answer is Japan but quite honestly I've put a lot of work into preserving native plants and pollinators in the US and if I left, that's one less person making a difference. I'd be perfectly fine with my isolated witch house (ooh bonus points for an island with only one house on it, mine all mine) with a huge prairie full of endagered plants and birds leading up to a thick mixed forest with even more endangered plants. pink ladys-slippers aren't going to re-propogate on their own (which is the problem). and I know better than to introduce these species to Japan, do you have any idea how badly goldenrod has taken over as an invasive there??

According to Gen II Pokemon, yes??? (okay, not not really, but- nvm I do know something about invasive species and plants that require animals along with insects in order to repopulate, and was going to go into that before realizing I don't actually know what I'm talking about...) but I just figured the whole no restriction part meant a certain ladida type of hand wave.

Wait... You do realize Pink Ladys-Slippers are the considered at the least concerned area of the at risk spectrum? They're all over Canada (easternly) apparently. I mean I was going to make a joke about suggesting Saskatchewan, given my suggestion to the last anon, but that actually checks out.

Really though, thank you for working to conserving local nature. I keep up my garden and try to make it as pollinator/locally friendly as I can, but actually working to preserve native plants and pollinators is very admirable! <3

...for a fictional book.

Do you expect outrage when you don't provide a link or details?

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/feb/10/sydney-author-lauren-mastrosa-tori-woods-guilty-child-abuse-daddys-little-toy-ntwnfb?CMP=share_btn_url

Uh, did you read the details?

https://www.reddit.com/r/books/comments/1r1ewhd/sydney_author_guilty_of_child_abuse_after_book/

DA

The fact that she talked about her actual toddler using sexual terms is gross. But that doesn't seem to be why she was convicted. I may find her book distasteful, but I don't think it is a crime to write a fictional book where no real people actually get hurt in any way. Or at least it shouldn't' be.

It is still a fictional work. Are there other fictional crimes we should be arresting people for?

Or any that you can only catch very sporadically!

I LOVE ski jumping. There is nothing in my area at all and it's never on TV, but but's always my favourite thing to watch when the Olympics come around!

Roman Koudelka is one of the last of my fave guys still around, he sticks his tongue straight out when he jumps! He didn't do that well this year, but I was so happy to see him!
