Where in the world...

Having a chance to live in Paris for a year of my life has become really important to me.  I've visited four times in my life so far and though I know a place is never as glamorous or perfect as when you are on holiday there, I want to experience that city, and Europe more for that matter, as an artist- write, shoot footage, paint, I don't know- have my Hemingway moment. Where do you want to live? And have you lived in Paris?
Japan, I love their history, plus it's one of the oldest in the world
I had the chance to live in London for a year and would love to return and work on some projects there. So much history!
Steve I went to London this past June and even though I'd been there a few times before, it was the first time I really fell in love with it.  Albeit the weather was perfect, I was staying in SoHo and got to go to Ascot but the energy of the city and the people was infectious! Must shoot a project there so the studio can pay for it :)
As a Navy brat, I traveled a lot when I was younger.  I'd love to go back to China, Japan, South Korea, and Bermuda.  My favorite city in the entire world is Rome, though.  I'd love to live somewhere in Italy at some point.  Then, I'd have the opportunity to go to London, Paris, Spain, Prague, and all the other places in Europe I've ever wanted to visit.  More feasibly, however, I could definitely see myself in New York.  It's the closest we have to culture and history in the US.
Australia, I'm not sure why. I have just always thought that if I should ever need to flee the country, I would go to Australia.
I second Jamie's motion!  Japan is definitely my choice.  Among other things I just LOVE the language.  I imagine that immersing myself in it would speed my learning considerably.  >_<

I just love travel in general though.  There are few places in the world that *don't* interest me.
I've got to echo Brandon on this one. I spent last September in Italy and Greece, and Rome has become my adopted city. Aside from the amazing food (cacio e pepe!), there is so much to see and do, the people are warm and wonderful and proud, and there's tons of culture. Plus, I'd love to have a year off from the hustle and bustle of LA and enjoy the slower pace of the Roman lifestyle. Of course, you'd have to roll me home after a year of pasta...
St. Petersburg is one place I'd love to do a sabbaticle - a city filled with ghosts, strange stories, and fantastic art.
And I had no idea people had posted more on this...I echo Brandon, Darryl and Tamara's sentiments about Japan- have been reading alot of William Gibson scifi fiction recently and it makes me reminisce about my time in Tokyo...I want to go back!
Easiest answer is SoCal, but that is happening soon... But for a dream location, I'd say London. Love the history, with it's castles, Stonehenge, beautiful countryside and the mythology/folklore... *sighs* Oh! Not to forget the accents. :)
Jeff, I spent 4 days in London this past June and had such a love affair with it! Had been there before but had never truly connected with the city.  Good choice!
I grew up in Nagykanizsa and Budapest, Hungary. I've visited many European capitals for few days each (Madrid, Paris, London, Amsterdam, Prague, Vienna) Spent about a month in the southern Netherlands and reaching the 3 year mark in Vancouver.Visiting a place gives you a hint of a culture and lifestyle but IMHO it takes a few months to get the real pace of a city. It's worth it to get to that point almost anywhere if you have the chance or time :)

I have traveled to many countries and found them all to be extremely interesting.  Yet, to keep in line with the theme of this blog, I want to mention a place that I have never been, would go to in a heartbeat, and that continuously provides inspiration for my life’s goals.  This place is the planet Mars; the ultimate goal for human exploration, adventure and survival.  The closest I have been to date was last fall when I had a couple grams of lunar soil in my kitchen the week before I took it to the lab.  Reach as far as you can…learn all you can learn… and life never gets dull.  Cheers.

Surprisingly, America. I've always thought the South was cool. I've often wondered what it would be like to go on one of those cross-country road-trips, getting a cross-section of all the diversity the USA has to offer.

I spent my entire life so far in Ireland. Which is a lot nicer when you get to leave after a few week's holiday. The economy is crappy, the weather sucks, and everyone worships alcohol like it's the most important thing in life. Anything worth living here for is exported, and can be found anywhere else.

Don't get me wrong, I'm proud to be Irish. But Americans are quick to take their homeland for granted. It really isn't a bad country. Definitely not when compared to my little island. Yet when I say I'm from Dublin, they always claim they'd give their right arm to be me. I think it's the same with Paris.
