Porto, Portugal.
That said, it was a great place to visit, but I don’t know if I would want to live there.
Mont-Saint-Michel definitely was a special place. Already driving up to it and seeing it from a distance was surreal and then walking through this tightly packed place seemingly in the middle of the sea is unlike anything else.
Aulani. Beautiful, peaceful, just… made my soul happy.
Deosai National Park. The 2nd highest plateus in the world. Its absolutely beautiful. Just google it!
My bed, miss it every morning.
Been pretty much everywhere and Iceland by far
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)”
My couch. It’s my favorite place for vacationing!
Tossa de Mar, in Girona Spain.
Hands down not even close no contest
Amed a small town on the north coast of Bali. Spent all day snorkeling the reef.
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.
My grandparent’s cottage on a lake in Maine. I arrive and instantly am 100% relaxed. The challenges of the interpersonal dynamics of a few dozen relatives are no match for the raw vibes.
