Utopian world.

[shawhighlander]

So where would you live, on this planet, in your utopia?

I would live in the very place you do, Sir Jock ith:
Then you'd have a wee bit more company.

[###KILTEDKIWI###]

New Zealand has all this, and you can visit all in the same (long) day!!

Seconded.

Being from Invercargill, I would have to say that somewhere back in Southland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southland_Region) would be my spot, which for those not in the know, is the very bottom of the South Island (Te Wai Pounamu) of New Zealand.

All within a 3 hour drive, are, Fiordland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiordland),
The Catlins (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Catlins) (even Closer),
Queenstown and Arrowtown (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queenst...wiki/Arrowtown),
Te Anau (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Te_Anau),
20 min flight to Stewart Island, or a 2.5 ferry ride. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_Island/Rakiura).

But to be perfectly honest, I'd have to say Stewart Island, Fishing, Diving, Shooting...Blue cod, oysters, Crayfish, and Venison...

I could never pick one place on the planet to call my utopia. My idea of utopia would be to be able to live in many places over the course of my life. I've grown up as somewhat of a gypsy, never living in one place for more than ten years and often less than two. Because of that I've always embraced the saying "home is where you hang your hat". As long as my wife is with me I'm home.

Green springs, mild summers, beautiful autumns, winters ideal for snow-shoeing (or maybe dog-sledding ), green fields and hills for hiking, plenty of game for hunting and fishing (for those who enjoy those sort of thing )(sorry, no salmon - our streams have trout ) - I'm going to have to go with Pennsylvania.

Mine would be a sailboat. Something in the 40 foot range, big enough to cross oceans but small enough to handle with 1 or 2 people. Then I could visit lots of places around the world and I would always be home.

I'm from the red hills of Georgia (the US State, not the former Soviet satellite). I've seen the middle east (Bloody HOT!), Italy (Oh, the girl who sold me ice cream! If only I could have told you!), Ireland for an instant, England ( the scale of history surrounded me always. And what is 'Pret a Porter' anyway?), Scotland (Where sunset at Edinborough Castle is amazing!).

I want a place in the foggy, Blue Ridge mountains. It feels OLD to me. A place that has a bit of wisdom to it. I suppose that I aspire to wisdom myself.

The climate on the south coast of Wales is damn near perfect. The people are pretty nice too. They even have cilts. (that's a spelling accident waiting to happen)

[Barclay]

I love North Carolina - from the incredible mountains, to the cities and the countryside, to the magnificent Outer Banks and beaches. I love Nova Scotia, from the incredible mountains to the cities and the countryside, to the magnificent beaches and rocky shoreline.

I could be endlessly happy in either, or both, forever. It says a lot about a place to say that you want to stay in the place(s) in which you grew up.

My utopia is where I am at right now, the Northwest corner of Washington state, in the foothills of the Cascades. I have heard that the climate here is quite similar to the highlands of Scotland. I have lived here most of my life, except for a brief sojourn in south Florida. Moved back here to what some call "God's country."

Moved back here to what some call "God's country."

Indeed!
