Nowhere, I’d travel. If money was endless I would be happily homeless because we could travel in style.
Where I live now. Imperial Beach, California.
I’d have to spend a long time travelling just to find the answer to this question.
Canadian here, I’d stay in my country. But with that being said, not where I currently am for sure. If by money not being an issue you mean I don’t need to look for a job, then I’d build a house in rural Newfoundland right on the ocean. If I have to look for a job but just don’t need to worry about housing expenses, then a nice house, oceanfront, probably BC. Not a major city, I hate big cities, but if I need work then I’d go somewhere close to a big enough city that I could find work no problem. Being able to see the water when I wake up in the mornings would be a necessity in this hypothetical scenario. I’d prefer the ocean but could do a Great Lake too if need be.
I don’t work in a field where it’s possible to work from home but if I did then I guess the same situation as not needing a job, as I can remote work in that case.
That’s just what I’d want though. Realistically, I have my wife and daughter to think about too. Raising a child isn’t easy and having support from my parents and hers has been very helpful, so I’d probably stay where I am, just in a nice house. There’s some smaller bodies of water near me, or larger bodies of water not too far away, so lakefront in my general area probably.
If money & visa requirements weren’t an issue, I’d never live in ONE place. I’d be traveling the world all the time.
Barcelona was pretty awesome. I think I’d start there, maybe with a ski cabin right on a swiss mountain.
Buy decently sized boat just sail every wich way . Tꝏ much world out there to stay 1️⃣ place
toronto. im a city boy and I like its setup so this is not a canada thing even though canada would be a big step up. I also do like having four seasons. Money wise the big thing would be to live in a hirise connected to a transit station in the heart.
The South Pacific on a true blue water catamaran.
Bounce around as many islands as I possibly could.
Thats been my dream for the past decade
Likely stay in my own country (Latvia)
Italy! I like that they have kept their culture and their mentality which is so rich, diverse, profound and just overall positive. Italians are also so open and friendly!
Not worrying about money or visa?
… Like. Tierra del Fuego. Or one of those remote areas of Canada/Alaska
Basically a cold, cold place that rarely sees heat. I detest heat.
I would be your neighbor but I would be gone here and there to visit my wife who would be living somewhere among the world’s hottest beach places.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_ray_visual_phenomena
Cosmic ray visual phenomena, or light flashes (LF), also known as Astronaut’s Eye, are spontaneous flashes of light visually perceived by some astronauts outside the magnetosphere of the Earth, such as during the Apollo program. While LF may be the result of actual photons of visible light being sensed by the retina,[1] the LF discussed here could also pertain to phosphenes, which are sensations of light produced by the activation of neurons along the visual pathway.[2]
Researchers believe that the LF perceived specifically by astronauts in space are due to cosmic rays (high-energy charged particles from beyond the Earth’s atmosphere[3]), though the exact mechanism is unknown. Hypotheses include Cherenkov radiation created as the cosmic ray particles pass through the vitreous humour of the astronauts’ eyes,[4][5] direct interaction with the optic nerve,[4] direct interaction with visual centres in the brain,[6] retinal receptor stimulation,[7] and a more general interaction of the retina with radiation.[8]
The main shapes seen are “spots” (or “dots”), “stars” (or “supernovas”), “streaks” (or “stripes”), “blobs” (or “clouds”) and “comets”. These shapes were seen at varying frequencies across astronauts. On the Moon flights, astronauts reported seeing the “spots” and “stars” 66% of the time, “streaks” 25% of the time, and “clouds” 8% of the time.[10] Astronauts who went on other missions reported mainly “elongated shapes”.[9] About 40% of those surveyed reported a “stripe” or “stripes” and about 20% reported a “comet” or “comets”. 17% of the reports mentioned a “single dot” and only a handful mentioned “several dots”, “blobs” and a “supernova”.
A reporting of motion of the LF was common among astronauts who experienced the flashes.[9] For example, Jerry Linenger reported that during a solar storm, they were directional and that they interfered with sleep since closing his eyes would not help. Linenger tried shielding himself behind the station’s lead-filled batteries, but this was only partly effective.[11]
There are a lot of not-immediately-obvious benefits to being on Earth.
Drug-free hallucinations for no additional charge? Hell yeah! 😃
Not being able to stop the hallucinations from happening would be my bigger concern for you.
Eh, I’m sure I’d get used to it.

If money was no object, I’d stay here in Sweden, and I would probably buy a farm mannor in need of renovation.
I’d have the main building carefully renovated to preserve the herritage but modernize it, I imagine the property having a stable or other large old storage barn, I’d gut as much of the interior as possible, keeping the exterior look and build a “man barn”, basically make it an entire man cave, I mean a combined area for hobbies, a small LAN party corner, air rifle sooting range, full racing sim, full flight sim, electronics workbench, a separate room for dirtier hobbies like wood/metal working with separate ventilation, but with a glass wall between the areas, top floor of the barn would jave several guest rooms with a separate external access, I would also dig an underground tunnel between the mannor house and the barn, with a deep cellar for extra storage
Ireland, hands down. I’ve been twice, and both times I’ve been absolutely enamored with the country. I’m from the Midwest, so a lot of it is probabky just the differences and the fact I’m on vacation. But the castles and walkabke cities, and rolling hills, and so much green instead of brown or yellow! I’m also a fantasy nerd, so I’m a sucker for anything that can have a medieval spin.
I’m a big fan of how deeply anticolonial they are.
