Astounded? Really? Nick Cave, Paul McCartney and Roger Daltry are not from Sussex and I'm sure all three could choose to live anywhere in the world but they have all chosen Sussex/Brighton. In fact Mr Cave has lived in Brasil, Aus and Germany so far and seems to prefer Brighton.
In fairness, to counter your agument, there are litterally billions of people who choose not to live in Sussex.
It depends how much money you have. With the money we have, surely we should be living where we want to live? With unlimited money, I guess things like the NHS wouldn't be so relevant, so you I'd be more happy to live abroad - but I'd still prefer England I think, so perhaps a massive pad by the Thames in central London could be nice.If you could live anywhere in the world where would you live ?
Palawan. My only option is to buy a house there and live like a hippy, or get into the real estate biz.
I visited Hawaii (Kauai & Honolulu) some time ago, I have never felt so comfortable anywhere else in the world. The climate was perfect the lifestyle stunning scenery the beaches and surf and Honolulu is a fantastic city 100% perfect location.
I spent a whole summer island hopping the Cyclades but Paros & Antiparos was my favourite and the island I spent the most time on and have returned a few times since for holidays.
Mylopotas beach on Ios with the Far out Cafe is fabulous too but Ios Town is another story an absolute nuthouse that not many know about.
But previous poster is correct, not sure I could live there in the winter.

Skye for me, I think - There are days when I think anywhere in the UK but the South East, then I think of the positives like being close to London, Gatwick and the countryside is okay, but I do find it a little dull.
