Melbourne is a vibrant town, full of beaches, seaside shops and antiques. The modern lifestyle has blended perfectly with its aboriginal roots, and if you ever wanted a day away, the famous Great Ocean Road with all its coastal cliffs, wildlife and hikes is just an hour away, and the Grampians Mountains are just a few hours drive away. Perfect!

There’s always something going on, from hiking to boating to festivals, and it’s a generally amazing place.

I love how tropical Hawaii feels! From the constant heat to the never-ending supplies of coconuts, papayas and mangoes, it feels like an exotic paradise from the minute you arrive. The locals are so friendly and helpful, and you are close enough to various other islands to go on exciting day trips and long weekends. The nightlife is more relaxed then most cities, with luxurious lounges more popular then nightclubs, but who’d want to be partying when you could watch the sunset over the crystal-clear ocean, and the glowing volcano in the distance?
I’d love to jet off to an exotic location...some cities just feel so right! Whether it’s the heat of Hawaii or the culture of Prague, if you ever get a chance to settle down in one of these amazing places, don’t think twice! Have you found a city that you’d love to make home? Please tell me about it!
