    Porto, Portugal.

    That said, it was a great place to visit, but I don’t know if I would want to live there.

    My wife and i went to Tortola in '99. Everything went wrong, and we still had a good time. If things had gone right, we might have never left.

    That said, the off-trail areas of the state parks of north NY, NJ, PA, up to Canada and into Vermont) are where I feel most at peace. A quiet cabin on a lake ten miles from a small town would be a perfect place to retire to.

    Cardiff, Wales. One of the few places in the world that felt like a Real City while also having its own distinct culture and feel. Every other city I’ve been to feels like the same sort of dull corpo-district monoculture.

    Old Montreal also has a bit of this, but only the central city areas, the outside periphery quickly devolves back into the “this could be anywhere in North America (version francaise)”

    Moraine Lake, Alberta, Canada. And the Jungfraujoch, Switzerland. Just stunning.

    I really enjoyed sitting out on Suomenlinna drinking long drink while chilling on the rocks.

    Utter contentment and peace.

    I loved quiet Eastern Thailand so I moved there. Of all of the places I have lived on the planet, this has been far & away the most ‘home’-like place I have been. Previously when I would travel & return to my domicile, I would be filled with a sense of something wrong if not dread, but here when I get back to my province or city, I generally get excited & happy every time.
