Would you rather? | Pad Patter 9.28.2020

Island, so I could look at the ocean everyday, watch the sunset and then run to other side and watch it rise. I would live off the avocado tree and fruits and vegis that grow and fish that jump into my nets! I would crochet and listen to the wind in the trees and love life

 

Definitely a mountain. Our new house is on a pretty high elevation and we can see the foothills of the Ozark Mountains from our front porch. I love looking out at the vistas and we can still go into "civilization" if we want or need to. I took this picture yesterday from our front porch. You can see how far down the roads are.

 

If the boat is a cruise ship = a boat.
It will take me to interesting ports, including islands and mountains.
~ I wouldn't have to worry about what to make for supper.

 

Probably none of the three...my choice would be in the heart of a major city such as NYC or London. At heart, I love the urban life.

 

An island with a bridge to the mainland. Hilton Head, S.C. would be my "dream" place to live. Love the beach but also like to be able to get to "civilization" when I want something.

 

The mountains - love the cooler summers and the likelihood of snow. Plus I love trees.

 

Yep, I could get on board with this idea too

I’m probably much the same though maybe less huge city but definitely urban. In my case because I don’t drive I need public transport and taxis/uber to get around, living in an urban setting is the only choice I really have. My ideal scenario would be somewhere where it takes me 30 odd mins to get anywhere by public transport.....where I am currently it’s roughly an hour to an hour and a half but the trade off is cheaper rent with family so I survive

 

An island because I've always loved ocean animals.

 

Give me that island for sure!! My soul is tropical!
I've lived my entire life in the mountains...enough of that lol

 

Would you rather live on a boat, a mountain or an island? And why?

None of those strongly appeal to me, but if I had to choose only from one of those three, I'd think of climate change flooding and choose the mountain.

I've been living in a place that was rural before I moved here 20 years ago and has been growing rapidly. But it doesn't function well as a city so we have awful traffic, no sidewalks, etc. We'll probably stay here until our kids all fly the nest but my dream is to move somewhere I can walk to the park, on trails, to the library, restaurants, and stores. I enjoyed that life for 3 years in the apartment where we lived in Glendale (Los Angeles county) before we moved here and it was wonderful!

 

That's tough. I love the ocean but I don't feel like a beach girl - I feel like a mountain girl. It's probably because it's where I live. I do love hiking the mountains, the views, etc... But the beach is so relaxing.

 

So great!! Almost jealous of that view!!

 

Mountain! Lived on Laurel mountain in Ligonier PA,

Atop a mountain in Santa Lucia, Honduras- (where we walked through clouds in our backyard!)

and live near foothills of Blue Ridge Mountains-- my favorites!

 

I would love mountains... and if I could be lakeside I would be in heaven!

I grew up really close the beach, and I've worked in NYC and live so close, that mountains became my favorite!

 

My fantasy escape is a little cottage/cabin on a lake, in a heavily forested area that is actually within 2 hours' drive of a medium- to large-sized city.

Of these three options, I would choose mountain. A boat would feel too claustrophobic, and an island would feel too isolated (unless there's a bridge to the mainland?).

@AJK your mountain pics are awesome and awe-inspiring!

 

Once my kids are out of high school (and I've got awhile considering the youngest is in first grade!), my dream is to move to/retire in Tennessee so I can have a lake house & mountains & all 4 seasons but not as much snow as we get all the way up here.

 

I want to live on an island with a mountain and take day trips on my boat
