If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

I'm in the process of buying an apartment (that I loved) in the city (that I love much less). If my company were to learn from the situation and adopt WFH, I would probably but an apartment or house either further into the countryside but still not too far, or straight up go to either New Zealand, the Mediterranean coasts of Spain (my home country) or maybe somewhere cheap-ish along the coasts of California.
I don't think I'd love living in a remote island or something along those lines since it would also be fairly inconvenient.

Been working at home since the end of March, it'd take a lot effort and probably cliche and awkward as a Vegan but Japan. I was going to open a Vegan place in Hull and we're flooded with the stuff now and a semi medium place in Japan could work. Quite been a fan of Japanese music in my teens (long ago) and the Vegan Japanese food is pretty banging.
If I could, I'd move to Norway or Iceland. Somewhere in or around a fjord. I'd never even travel anymore, think of all the money I'd save.
The ideal:
- Great public transportation within and between cities, towns, and rural. No need for car.
- Diverse community and not discriminatory. I can pass for white in most places, but still.
- Diverse food options, including Latin food, and at least a few Colombian spots.
- Doesn't need to be a huge city or town, but one that is mostly pedestrian and somewhat dense.
- All four seasons.
- Mountains.
- Abortion is legal.
- Work culture is reasonable.
This describes where I live - Toronto, Canada. Montreal and to a lesser extent Vancouver fit the bill too.
I can't work here which definitely makes it tough to want to stay. I kind of got stuck out here due to Covid, and it wasn't a place I intended to stay long term.
The real issue I have is that I'm not a big fan of Seoul culture. It's a very stressful place filled with very stressed out people. The pressure put on the citizens of this city is crazy (be it through their social circles, family and their work environment). I feel bad for the Seoulites I know. They all put on a good face, but they don't seem happy at all.
I don't want to downplay the amazing qualities of this city; the food, hospitals and infrastructure are top notch, and it's very safe, but the city isn't for me.
Time to move to Canada. Hope y'all need data scientists and graphic designers.
I haven't been to Toronto since I was seven or so. But I did visit Montreal recently and was surprised by how many Colombians are there!
Sintra would do it for me.
Though, I used to live in Cascais and that was dandy too.
I'm living in christchurch. My Mum is from here so I got lots of family here, which has made moving to the otherside of the world alot easier.
1) Where I currently live just in a bigger house for my family
2) Cali coast, but I got kids so nowhere to off the beaten path cause I need good schools
3) If we are going international somewhere in London
4) I'd kill to live in Kapalua on Maui if this was retirement, but not in my top 3 cause I'm still in my family man stage. If my kids were grown or in college this would be open and shut #1.
5) Charleston on somewhere like James Island.
