Where would you?

If you were told you could live anywhere in the world for 6 months, all living expenses paid, where would you live? You wouldn't have to work, or pay rent. All your food, clothes, car, gas, insurances, medical etc, would be 100% paid for. You could take your family with you. Your boyfriend/girlfriend or wife/husband, the kids, parents, brothers and sisters. You could use the 6 months to do whatever you wanted. You would be given cash every week. Let's say $2000.00. That would be for entertainment only.

You have to stay in the area you choose. Just a 50 mile radius is all that you can drive to. Would you choose the mountains or the ocean? Or maybe you like the heat and would choose the desert. You can fly, take a train, or get there by car. But you can't take a cruise. I hear the moans.

So now that you are settled in and you have your family with you, what do you do for fun? Remember, you are getting 2 grand a week. Do you use it each week, or do you save it up and use it towards the end of your 6 months? Give or take, if you saved it up for 6 months, you would have 48 thousand dollars to do something really big with it. I think I'd do something everyday with the $2000.00 a week. So I'd have close to $300 a day just for fun. And you can't take the money home with you after the 6 months.  

I know my place wouldn't be right on the ocean. The whole Tsunami thing has me freaked out. The desert heat is out too. I don't want to spend 6 months sweating with a headache. So maybe the mountains, but not in the winter. Oh yeah, you have to leave right now. You can't wait for the season you want. 


My place would be Melbourne Australia. I've always wanted to go there, but of course I'd have to fly, so that wouldn't happen in real life for me. I don't fly anymore. But since this is all hypothetical, I'm there. And yes, I checked to see if they have any casinos. 



I would bring my Kindle to read a lot. And my camera of course. I could do a ton of photos within my 50 miles. Kangaroo photoshoots? Since my house is being paid for, I'm pretty sure it would have a swimming pool to relax by. 



I hope my new place comes with a maid and a cook!! 

So where are you going to live for 6 months?

  1. You do realize that Australia is an island, surrounded by water, and it's most likely a warm climate? : )

    1. Yes, but it is so large that I could live away from the water. And it would be Spring there now, so figured it wouldn't be too warm yet. My house would have the best A/C set up too...lol But you are right, because I forgot I will be there for 6 months. Summer begins in Dec through Feb. Maybe should rethink my place to live.

  2. I have three choices. Barcelona, Prague, or Edinburgh. Each has phenomenal art and architecture I would die to see and I don't think I could get bored ever. You could come with me and photograph the bathrooms. :)
