If you read the Manga Vinland Saga I'm somewhere on that rock the Thorfinn lands on in the latter half.

East Midlands in the UK
Columbus, Ohio, USA. It's decent here politics are not totally to my liking but the weather is nice enough, decent entertainment scene, OK Jobs, pretty central to a lot of the United States. Moved from a much smaller town of around 800 in southern Ohio so big change but I love it.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, I currently live in San Francisco
Born in NYC but now in suburbs of northern NJ (but still not far from NYC). Not a fan of how car-centric life is but I'm getting used to it. I do love the access to all the nature around here, and it's nice to not have cars honking at 1am, so I'd say it's a good tradeoff haha.
I live in the Piney Woods region of East Texas. It's wetter than what most people imagine when they think of Texas and has beautiful, towering pine trees and the rivers have knobby kneed bald cypress trees. Unfortunately, all that moisture out here comes with a lot of mosquitos, too. We still have Texas heat and humid heat is pretty miserable, sometimes I wish I lived in a desert instead but I would miss all the greenery.
I used to live in Hesse when I was very young, I started kindergarten there. Unfortunately, I barely know any German. I might have to look up those comedians for more listening practice!
Just moved from NBTX to VA after working for the state of Texas for almost 20 years. You ought to look at down that way, esp before Austin gentrifies it :)
Maybe, but Shenandoah National Park is so beautiful I might just have to follow you to VA instead! I lived in central VA for a year and it might be my favorite place I've lived in the US. Unfortunately, family has me tied down to east Texas for the time being. NB will probably be fully overtaken by Austin by the time I get out of here.
The part of British Columbia that is just east enough of Vancouver to stop being a beautiful coastal rainforest and start being treeless, godforsaken farmland. It was a rainforest with a beautiful lake 150 years ago but then the settlers showed up, drained the lake, cut down the trees, and turned it all into farmland so we can have raspberries.
from the part that's still (mostly) a beautiful coastal rainforest, hey neighbour and thank you for the raspberries! (and good luck with the upcoming heat these next few days...)
Georgia, USA here. I live up in the mountains and though it is very, VERY beautiful up here, the culture is a bit backward. This is MTG land, after all. :(
UK. Rural East Anglia in fact. If you have seen the tv show Detectorists you will have seen several locations that I travel past regularly.

I grew up in Poland, now living in the UK (up north). I moved here in my mid twenties and I really like it here. And when I miss Poland a quick trip to polish shop helps.
I live in Almada, Portugal, just one or two bridges (or a ferry) away from Lisbon. I live out in the suburbs of Almada, so it's generally pretty peaceful here, while still being relatively close to the capital. My workplace is also close to where I live, so I don't have to cross the river and deal with all the traffic and people commuting to Lisbon.
Oh, and I live like half an hour away from the beach. So yeah, all things considered, I'm pretty happy with where I live.
I'm looking to relocate to Portugal! I hope I can find a place as scerene as you describe.
