as someone who’s partly trying to find a home apart from the one of their citizenship, curious where others have landed
Australia; thinking of it gives me full body shivers
Tulum. Costa Rica.
The area I was born in.
I imagine that will probably be true for most people.
Copenhagen for me, first time there I just sensed it pretty quickly, amazing how it happens
China ,
Graduated from university ,
and probably spent the best years of my life in Beijing
For me it’s Malta. I think a big part of it is that they English is an official language and most people speak it fluently in addition to Maltese, so you can actually connect with the locals on a deeper level and the fact that’s it’s so small you get to know the island very fast. There’s also so many foreign people living there, you don’t really feel like an outsider much.
Mazatlan, Mexico, best place I’ve ever lived.
I really dislike when people ask me where I’m from. I’m not “from” anywhere. I was born in the UK, family immigrated to Canada when I was a child. I married an American and lived in Florida for a long time. Went back to Canada for a couple of years and was miserable. Came to Mexico in 2014.
I’ve been learning Spanish since I arrived in Mexico and it’s pretty good. I’m more comfortable in Mexico than I ever was in Canada or the US. I’ve only been back to visit my family twice in 9 years and whenever I’m there I just want to be back in Mexico.
Nepal
Vietnam. Cities of this country are so different. I like local people so much, I like the culture, I like Airbnb hosts, I like the way Ho Chi Minh City develops, I like luxury beach Nha Trang city and so on
Ballz deep in the chick I met on the “free tour” of the local sites.
California for me. The ocean, parks, diversity, work opportunities, interesting people. Some day maybe I’ll come back but on my nomad journey now
London- felt right at home, as soon as I exited the airport. It was like I’d been there before.
How about you OP?
Lithuania and Netherlands.
The middle of the desert
Southern Africa. Mozambique and Namibia
