One has to be in your hometown plus 3 others. It can be a country or state but preferably a city. If you want to elaborate as to why you made your choice that would be welcome. I wonder if most people would wind up in the same places?
1. Buffalo (hometown)
2. Italy
3. France
4. California
Buffalo for my friends and family roots, chicken wings and pizza, and architecture.
Italy for hertitage, culture, food, beautiful women, and architecture
France for architecture and wine.
California for the warm weather and palm trees and redwoods and good partying.

If I had enough wealth to not have to work at all I would leave the USA (As Fast As Possible) and live mainly in these 4 places -
#1. PARIS (7th, already have a small apartment there, but am far from wealthy)
#2. NICE, France (Old Town) or maybe VENICE, Italy - would need to do more research
#3. BALI, Indonesia (probably on Kuta Beach)
#4. BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Recoleta or Palermo)
BONUS IDEA, Have a small art deco condo at SOBE (SOUTH BEACH MIAMI, FLORIDA) and have a 54 foot JEANNEAU Sailboat docked on the tip of SOBE and use it to sail the Caribbean.
I think that would be fine for now - CC Mind
