I've never been anywhere but the United States. I would however, love to see other options.

I love the long slow sunsets here from May to August.

Sweden is no California, but when it's sunny and warm here in the summer, I'd rather be here cause of the long days and slow sunsets...

I love our freedoms and rights, and the variety of the country in both scenery and people.

I have never been outside of the US, but would love to travel the world someday, so until then, I have nothing to compare it to...but I would have to say it's hard to beat for being able to see so much without leaving one's country. wine

Clean air, water and plenty of wilderness all around.

The summers are nice, long warm days considering I'm this far north, but the winters are too long, cold and dark for my liking.

The economy is still great compared to what I've been hearing from others around the country and the world.

Lots of oppotunities here to do whatever you like, for a living, or otherwise.

You can still shoot a moose right outside of your igloo, but only during hunting season, unless you have native friends.laugh

True that!
But you forgot about the joys of having your own dog sled teams for travel.

It's mostly the isolation that get's
to me.However,I wouldn't want to live
anywhere else.Well,a vacation south would
be an idea ."

I love gumbo, grits, pecan pie and southern belle ladies! We get to have gun racks in our trucks! We have NASCAR! I get to say howdy y'all. Everyone is kind and says hello to you on the street as you walk by them. No other place on earth has these things.

Do be honest, would like to be able to afford residency in anotherr country, but since I'm stuck here in the U.S., I'd have to say, the one thing I like is the vast freedoms we have compared to many other countries.

Living in Southern California, I can take a drive and see many things in one day. Sunning on the beach in the am and hitting the slopes at night. I have been to Mexico many times, I love the people and the culture. I have travel through Western Canada years ago. It was absolutely beautiful country and the people we met on the road were very nice also.
