I just read a post about that here: http://locationindependent.com/blog/2009/03/09/10-things-you-should-know-before-visiting-south-africa-as-a-location-independent-destination/ - although I don't know how much of that applies to Mossel Bay. @Dustin – Funny you mention South Africa.

We are close to family which is important to us. We are surrounded by beautiful mountains. I love America too much to live elsewhere. That being said, knowing that you and I have different interests, one place I think you might want to check out in your various travels is Mossel Bay, South Africa. It is a small community in a beautiful area. I spent 7 months there on my mission. Here are some of the benefits of Mossel Bay that meat your criteria: - Moderate climate. It is warm year round with the most moderate temperatures in the world second only to Hawaii - Beautiful beaches - there was a public beach which we never went to, but there was also a very nice beach surrounded by cliffs that we would hike down to on occasional p-days. We had this area to ourselves and would pull some interesting creatures out of the water. You could often see dolphins swimming around that area too. - Technologies - There are some good sized shopping centers and internet access - Church - the nearest branch was in George which is a half hour drive away. Of course it was 10 years ago that I was there so I don't know if/how things have changed. If I were to live outside the US. Mossel Bay would be my first choice.

That would be a wonderful experience. There are very few people in the world who are in a position where they CAN choose where they want to live. I would love to live somewhere other than Salt Lake, but I think the umbilical cord between Justin and his mother would have to be severed before we can do that ;) Hm... I've never really thought about where I would choose to live. But I would have a lot of the same requirements as you- definitely needs to be warm, green, safe, clean, lots of outdoors stuff to explore, nearby beach (ocean or lake- preferably ocean)... Hawaii? Except I wouldn't really want to live somewhere too touristy. Tahiti?? :) Wow. That would be a wonderful experience.

It is really fun to explore other possibilities though, and have new experiences together. There are good and bad sides to any place you go. Finding the best fit is a bit challenging, but hopefully well worth the effort. Utah will always feel like home.
