For me I’d love to live in America, Netherlands or Ireland
Two surprisingly contrasting places.
On the one hand, a tropical paradise. I detest Fall and Winter and cold weather and want some place with warm breezes and where you can wear shorts every day if you want. So on this one, you can put me down for Hawaii - or if it does not have to be in the USA, then any number of Caribbean states - Barbados, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, Grenada, the Bahamas (not, strictly in the Caribbean, but you know what I mean), Belize. These are all places I have been - in December typically - and you could put me there without complaint.
On the flip side, I love Europe and I am an ardent Anglophile, so the United Kingdom - any place in the UK really, but London is my favorite. Not so keen on the weather, but the sights, the culture, the history!! Be there in a minute.
Within the continental United States, (i. e. not Hawaii or Alaska), I grew up in Michigan and currently live in the Washington, DC area. Again, other than the Fall and Winter months, I love the DC area and my hometown in Michigan is quite nice. Outside of that, the Florida Keys - Key West and the like - would do the job.
So, ideally, Britain relocated to Hawaii would be the best. See? I don't want much.

I have though this through actually. 😁
São Paulo, Brasil (Pompéia neighborhood) although it was much better and safer half a dozen years ago. Maybe Curitiba because my best friend lives there. Or Minas Gerais for a bit.
Florence or Sicily in Italy.
Salzburg and Vienna in Austria.
Coimbra and Lisbon in my country, Portugal. Maybe Braga for University.
I would never trade my town of Porto for anywhere else, except maybe Vila Nova de Gaia, which is on the other side of the Douro river from Porto, and the best view of it...
America is honestly too big to just say you’d like to live here. Remember the continental US is the same size as Europe. Each region is totally different and has different cultures, and each state is going to have different laws, some more oppressive to women and poc than others. As someone who’s lived here their whole life, it’s really not worth it to live here. Go to Canada instead. All love <3
I'd love to live in Spain. The cultures, food, music and old world ambience is what I love about it, besides the scenery. When I was thinking of retirement, I was going to actually live there. But then I'd be hours away (on a plane) from my kids and sense to over those thoughts. Then I thought the northeast, which I also love, and no, I decided to be closer to my kids.

This is actually a complicated question.
If I was wealthy and retired so I didn't have to worry about living expenses, it would probably be Vermont or somewhere in the 845 or 518 area codes of New York state. Maybe Maine as well. Basically, I'd want to go back to where I am from... NYC or North / East of Ohio.
I think upstate New York in the woods with me and a husband with 2 kids near a lake and a big plot of lands for dogs.
Somewhere warm and near a beautiful clean sandbeach
Wisconsin. From what I've heard, that place doesn't exist.
(it doesn't exist because when I talk to people, they say anywhere else BUT wisconsin.)
The Nordic countries. Their summers are not too extreme, and their winters are awesome (I love winter). Plus, swedish meatballs. How can anyone not love those?
Thailand. I used to think America would be good but that's before I learned what it's actually like. Now I just wanna rescue people from there.
I'd actually like to live in Australia, specifically the Brisbane/Queensland area. Second choice would be Barcelona Spai.
for me, i would like to live in NYC, Paris or London. but my first choice will always be New York
Ideally, I’d probably prefer Denver Colorado or go back to Dublin, Ireland. I spent time in Dublin and fell in love with the city.
Manhattan (NYC) or Santa Monica, California. Maybe London. It's attractive but I don't know it well enough.
A very quiet, very small coastal village on the Atlantic in Canada, Ireland, Scotland, Maine, Massachusetts.
Another habitable planet like earth. With me and 100 other women.
Noosa Australia. Warm equatorial currents so the beach is like bath water. But no crocs, sea snakes or lethal jelly fish. Paradise.
I grew up Dutch, lived in 3 very different countries for an extended period of time and I'm moving back to the Netherlands now. Mainly what I noticed is.. I don't care where I live. The difference mainly lies in who you know.
Australia for sure for sure, English speaking, good weather, good quality of life standards and a lot of opportunities

It's been a long long time since I left my home. I would say either in Canada or in Barbados.
I’ve always had a hankering to live in Japan.

I'd live in Ireland, Great Britain, Hungary, or France.
All the clean and green countries with a good infrastructure are full of white supremacist and racist people so I can't really choose any country other than my own.
I would love to live in Bavaria Germany. It reminds me of my home. I think I would also live in United Kingdom where my family originally was originally from.
