I want to live where they will. How to understand where you should live. Needed where was born

...There is no such place on earth. Why? Everything is very simple. Each region of our planet has its own advantages and disadvantages.
…But, if I’m being honest with myself, then most likely I would like to live on one of the Caribbean islands.
... Once, as a child, I was given a book by Rafael Sabatini about the adventures of Captain Blood to read. And...I got sick. Pirates, seas and oceans, proud and free people. Tortuga, Jamaica, Puerto Rico.
...Of course, as a child you don’t always think about the ideal place for your life, but somehow everything turned out so that I always wanted to live on the shores of the warm ocean, in a white house built in a colonial style, with columns, a portico and a large terrace, on which it is pleasant to sit in the evening, watching the sunset. With internal patio garden, swimming pool and barbecue area.
...And so that very close to the house there is a descent to the ocean and a berth for a yacht. On the shore is a boathouse where jet skis are stored.
... A sandy beach with unrealistically white, blinding sand, with tall coconut palms and some tropical trees unknown to me yet. And bushes strewn with piles of flowers of all shades of the rainbow.
...And above all this splendor thousands of unrivaled tropical butterflies circle and flutter.
...And the smell. On the shore there is the smell of seaweed thrown out by the ocean. But as soon as you go a little into the thicket of coastal thickets, ...you find yourself in a perfume shop.
...Smells that are difficult to define unless you are a scientist. A sea of flowers next to an ocean of water.
…Ocean. Precisely with a capital letter.
...When I was a child, my mother took me to the sea every summer. Either Black or Azov. The surf on the Black Sea is small and gentle, but on the Azov Sea there is sometimes a swell.
...But the ocean!
...It's a completely different world. I didn’t see the roll of an ocean wave, less than half a meter. And a rumble. A conversation between big water and land that never stops for a second.
...In the morning you get up and go to the shore of the lagoon. Catch some fish for breakfast, or maybe just say hello to the ocean while breakfast is cooking.
...You say to him: “Hello,” and in response you receive a tender kiss from the fresh sea breeze.
…And when you return to the House, it’s time for the first cup of coffee, brewed from freshly roasted beans from coffee trees grown by you in your garden. This pleasure cannot be compared with anything. It just makes you ecstatic.
...Then some meat with rice and vegetables, a milkshake with coconut and papaya. You can start a new day.
...But somewhere here, on your island, there is a treasure left by Morgan or Flint, or Blood. And this joke warms you, although you understand all its phantasmagoric nature.
...Another day of your life passes. And no nostalgia for the Russian winter, dirt, snow and frost. Lies and betrayal.
...The roar of the ocean surf comes through the windows, and you calmly fall asleep in that very ideal place on earth that you have dreamed of since childhood.
...Good night and happy dreams.
...Tomorrow will be just as good a day.

The daily audience of the Proza.ru portal is about 100 thousand visitors, who in total view more than half a million pages according to the traffic counter, which is located to the right of this text. Each column contains two numbers: the number of views and the number of visitors.

Where would I like to live? I don’t have a definite answer to this question. The thing is, if I really wanted to live somewhere else, I would already be living there. And since I still live in Moscow, it means that for a combination of reasons it suits me more than other places. At least at this moment in time.

At the same time, every time I find myself in a new country, I subconsciously begin to try on - would I like to live here? In the early days of my travel experience, I fell in love with almost every place I found myself in. Now, having traveled to a number of countries, my pickiness in this matter has noticeably increased. Over time, you begin to understand: “don’t confuse tourism with emigration.”

There are a huge number of purely applied issues that become important: climate (not only during the tourist season), distance from the airport, summer time to Moscow and European capitals, educational system, real estate and transport taxes, language barrier, legalization, business opportunities, water quality, etc. You evaluate all this one way or another when trying yourself on to a new place. But the main thing for me is irrational feelings.

Of all the countries I’ve visited, from the point of view of wanting to live there for a while, only three really stuck in my mind: Japan, Portugal And Montenegro. More precisely, not even countries, but specific places in them: Tokyo, Lisbon and Kotor Bay.

Previously, Vietnam was also on this list. After visiting it 8 times, I decided that I wanted to live in this country for some longer time. Therefore, for the ninth time we went with the whole family and immediately for 2 months. Of course, we enjoyed this trip, but at the same time it gave us a clear understanding - we do not want to live in this country for a long time.

This time we decided to go to Montenegro. For a month and a half, outside the tourist season. Just live by the sea among the mountains in a place that has long been attractive. The last time I was there was 5 years ago, when I had not yet comprehended Zen and was marking the territory like mad. Then, in a week, we traveled the length and breadth of this country by car. Now I want a completely different immersion: to sit in one place and not wander further than the surrounding area.

Do I have a goal to look at a country for permanent residence? No specifically. I have never owned real estate (and still don’t); we prefer to spend all our free money on hobbies, pleasures and travel. Therefore, if we suddenly enjoy living in Montenegro, we can always extend the pleasure and rent a house or apartment for longer, say for a year.

At the same time, I never rule out the possibility that one day I will fall in love with some place so much that I will burden myself with real estate. Moscow is not yet one of those places, although I have friends, creative projects and business here. I consider it reasonable to buy anything in Moscow only with extra money, which I don’t have yet. Well, or fall in love so much, which is also not happening yet. Over the past 20 years, our relations with Moscow have moved to another stage of relations. Well, then, what is happening now in Russia, to put it mildly, is not conducive to thinking about buying real estate. Rather, on the contrary, it encourages the idea of creating a “reserve airfield” somewhere outside.

In general, for the next month and a half I will be writing and sending photos from Herceg Novi. I will also fly to Moscow, at least once, and maybe two or three. Luckily the flight is only 3 hours. A lot of important things happen here in creativity and business; personal presence is required.

In the meantime, I’ll go pack my bags; with two children this is a non-trivial task and will take just 2 days.

What will you do if your air conditioner breaks down in the summer?

I'll find someone who can fix it! Meanwhile, I will go to another cool place, such as a cafe, shopping center or bookstore. I can't stand the heat!

I'll use a fan or open a window.

I feel good as it is, the air temperature doesn’t bother me. Plus, air conditioning is bad for your health!

What do you think about girls wearing miniskirts in winter?

Nothing stops these young ladies in their quest for beauty - not even the piercing wind!

I don't care.

Nightmare! They will definitely freeze something for themselves!

Finally, the long-awaited vacation, but every day it’s cloudy and raining outside. What do you think about this?

If only it were sunny sooner! I'm tired of sitting at home, I want to have fun!

Getting caught in the rain outside is not my thing, but listening to the rain at home is the most comfortable and pleasant thing.

Hurray, rain. Now I can finally put on my pink rubber boots and walk under my new umbrella with a samurai sword handle!

What places do you prefer to take photos?

A burning desert under the hot sun.

Natural landscape, blue sky and rich colors.

Venice in the rain.

Hot tropical forest.

Where do you feel most comfortable?

On a desert island.

On a farm far from human comforts.

In a small town with good neighbors.

In a big city, in the middle of a crowd, so as not to feel isolated from society.

How long can you stay alone?

I can do without many people, especially if there are no special personal connections between us.

I like to be alone, but sometimes I want to talk to my friends.

I can't stand loneliness, I need constant communication.

I don't feel comfortable being alone, I need to be surrounded by people.

Can you find your favorite restaurant or cafe in a big city without outside help?

No matter what country you are in, do you prefer to eat proven fast food?

What era would you like to live in?

In the chaotic Middle Ages, perhaps I could have become a hero like Robin Hood.

During the era of the industrial revolution, when the most incredible ideas were born.

In a modern, secure society with a good legal system.

Returning home late at night, you feel like someone is following you. Your thoughts:

Maybe he just wants to ask me for directions.

I'll speed up my pace and pull away from him.

It must be a thief! Horrible! I will never go this road again!

Tom lives on a small island. Every morning, when he goes to school by boat, he is late. What should he do to prevent this from happening again:

Move to the mainland, because life on the island is not easy! And there are still a lot of mosquitoes everywhere!

Continue to enjoy the breathtaking views, although constant life near the water sometimes gets boring.

Drop out of school and just enjoy this incredible landscape.

Ancient cities were often located near rivers, which helped the development of navigation and architecture. In your opinion, what other advantages do settlements near rivers have nowadays?

None, these days rivers are not that important.

Joy and benefit, for example, fishing.

Rivers help us get closer to nature and find inner balance. It's so romantic to live in a city on a river!

Did you want to celebrate New Year in the summer?

Yes, just imagine a sweaty Santa Claus handing out gifts on the beach! Give New Year's Eve in the summer! You can also celebrate Easter in the fall and Halloween in the spring!

It doesn’t matter to me what time of year I celebrate the New Year. Really, I just wish summer would never end.

I can’t imagine the New Year without snow, sleighs and Christmas trees.

Why do animals such as kangaroos, koalas and alpacas live in the southern hemisphere?

They simply did not have time to jump to the northern floating continents in time!

I don't care.

Shakyamuni, white elephant with six tusks, nine-colored deer.

Eight Immortals, Buddha and The Lord of the Rings.

I don't like legends and tales.

What do you think about the ocean?

I don’t like the ocean, it makes me feel uncomfortable.

If the ocean suddenly happens to be nearby, I will swim in it, but I have no specific goal of seeing the ocean.

Sometimes it's nice to walk along the beach.

I love traveling to islands.

I want to move to the island forever.

Believe it or not, I'm actually a fish.

Where would I like to live

I think everyone has a place where they would like to live. Everyone has a dream in which they know what their future home will be like, where it will be, and what will surround it. Everyone knows or at least imagines the place where this miracle house is located. Of course, over time, when a person grows up, the place where he wanted to live changes in his mind, it seems to me, it takes on different shapes. Because the person himself changes, his priorities and habits change, over time he begins to like what he didn’t like before. But it seems to me that the place where I would like to live will never change, because I came up with it a long time ago, and gradually I am only slightly adjusting it.

I don't have a specific country or place that really attracts me, I would just like to live somewhere near the sea. It could be in Russia or somewhere else, but my ideal dream place would be very close to the sea. I really love swimming, so I would like to come to the sea whenever I want and swim as much as I want. This may seem strange, but I really want it. Perhaps this choice is influenced by the fact that summer in the place where I live is very short, and the swimming season is even shorter, because the water does not have time to warm up properly.

When I imagine a place where I would like to live, I imagine that it is very calm, it is a place where there are not very many people, most likely it is a small coastal town where there are bays where you can fish and sunbathe. that I don’t have very many neighbors, but we all know each other well and communicate in a friendly manner. Sometimes we get together in the evening to have a cup of tea and chat a little. The place where I would like to live should not have many tourists. Of course, I understand that if a place is good and convenient for relaxation, there will always be a lot of tourists there, especially during the tourist season. But, if you take into account that I am describing a place where I would like to live, and not a real one, I would not want to see crowds of tourists there, either in the city or on the beach.

Most likely, such a place does not exist, but I would like to believe that it still exists. Also, I would like to add that there is work for me there. It doesn't matter what kind of work it is. The main thing is that it brings me sufficient income and pleasure. If I live near the sea, in a place where it is warm, where there is work for me, and where I am surrounded by friends, I think I will be happy.
