So was thinking about doing a location based version of marry, fuck, kill. Three locations. One you would like to live in, one you would like to visit on vacation and one you would like to party down in. For the purposes of this don’t worry about language or politics or affordability. More about weather, infrastructure, beuty, etc. For me toronto to live in because im a city boy and like the thought of being able to take my dog with me on transit (if that is still a thing), vacation is tokyo and partially (if money is no object) to go to that ultra ritzy onsen. Party wise im tempted by new orleans which I have been too but im watching global fireworks and Bangkok looked amazing with the 20 story high buddha. I think though I have to go with amsterdam which also spreads out my choices nicely globally.
- Reside: Waterfront on the Chesapeake Bay.
- Vacation: Aruba
- Party: New York City
Reside: Vancouver. Biased because I mostly grew up here and am lucky enough to still live here but I really do think it’s something special.
Vacation: Probably Qing Huang Dao. Gorgeous Chinese beach city that I’ve only ever been to twice in my childhood, but it’s also really nostalgic for that reason.
Party (hardest one for me because I don’t party): Wanted to say New York or Vegas because nothing in Canada really compares to those, but with current events and my skin colour I’m going with Toronto instead. Like to not end up at a concentration camp while partying, but more generally because I know the laws of my own country better than somewhere else which I feel is a benefit if you want to party.
Live in Stockholm, visit Argentina, party in some equatorial island
Reside: Auckland or Barcelona, as long as I can make a living there and be in solid with a like-minded group of locals.
Vacation: Lago Atitlán or Lombok & the Gilis. I’ve never been to an island in Oceania, so Indonesia is as close as I’ve experienced. Atitlán is tough to beat as it’s in reach to Xela, Chichi, and the much more touristy Antigua. Plus volcano hikes, kayaks, and lots of yoga spots. Good food, great people, and low cost. I wish only two things: more power to the Campesinos (particularly solar power and less cow dung heating), and fewer military-types on their gap-year.
Party: Seoul, as nostalgia. Or, if I had an unlimited budget, a Berlin, Amsterdam, Prague loop. I’m old. I deserve parties at whichever impact level I choose on that day.
California, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
That’s why America is the best you can do it all in one country.
