I love watching House Hunters International. Those homes abroad are so interesting. It makes me thankful for all of the room I have both inside and out here.
But wouldn’t it be interesting to live somewhere else? I talking six months or so, just to experience another culture, another way of life. I have a few places that interest me right now.
One is Isla Mujeres just off of the coast of Cancun, Mexico. We visited there in January, and I fell in love. It’s true Mexico. It’s colorful, vibrant and the sea is right there. I could definitely spend some quality time there on a balcony with my computer. OK, let’s be honest. It would be hard to bring my computer there. This place is pure relaxation.
Here is my house of choice. It’s near Punta Sur, which is a gorgeous area. And who couldn’t wake up to this view??!!
Another choice is, of course, the Netherlands. I’d love to visit where my family is from and learn what life is really like there. I wrote a book set there, but that was war time. I’d like to find out what peace is all about there. And I sure could see myself living here. Wow. What a place. I might even be able to write here.
And I’d love to spend some time in Vietnam. In Hanoi, I’d love to live near Hoan Kiem Lake, which is where we stayed when we were there 19 years ago. This is a great apartment I could see myself in.
Have you ever thought of living abroad? Where would you choose?

Yes, Liz, i think about living abroad a lot. Isla Mujeres, is a place that my dear friends have gone to stay for a few months…They absolutely love it there and the food is fantastic…
So, I would like to go live there…Another place I would love to live is Jerusalem…I have friends that live there and I love the culture (NO I am not afraid to go there…God protects) and the third place I would like to go is Patmos…
I have a friend from Vietnam that is a Vietnam National here is the states…He tells us a lot of his family’s culture….
I love to lurk on your site…
Thanks for letting me post where I would like to live…Ok, one more place: British Columbia…Love the bloggers I read from there….

My own choice was San Miguel de Allende, in the interior. Thinking about living in San Miguel? What if you knew the answers to the questions you have to ask? What about crime, health care, housing? What about cost of living and nearly 20 other issues? My new book shines a light on the subject. It’s called Living in San Miguel: The Heart of the Matter, and there’s a sample on my website or on Amazon.
