Nairobi, Kenya
- Friendly weather and people all year round, the hum of public transport and busy open-air markets. The freedom to walk and enjoy yourself, a national park within the city environs, great natural food, and a very active night life makes Nairobi more like Africa's New York...truly special!

Quesnel, British Columbia
- I love it here cause it's a small town. We have beautiful winters, summers, falls and springs. It is dry so allergies are at a minimum and I'm five hours from the Rocky Mountains. Who could ask for more than that. -Wilf

Dubin, Ireland
- I love where I live because it's just me. I live near the centre of Dublin and I usually walk into town to shop or go to the cinema. Dublin to me is still just one big town and the people of Dublin are unique. I can take a bus if I want but most times I just walk there. I live close to the Grand Canal and occasionaly I walk along the canal and feed the ducks and swans. It's not the most picturesque walk in the world but it is quintessentially Dublin and as you near the end where I live a statue of Brendan Behan sitting on a seat is before you inviting you to sit down and stay a while in his hallowed company. Many people poor and rich use the canal. No boats are on it now. And then close by in Ireland's biggest stadium, Croke Park which invites so much colour and pageantry during the summer months with rival Irish counties competing to earn a place for the big day out in September - the All Ireland Finals. People from different parts of Ireland come to support and roar for their teams.

Bitola, Macedonia
- Our birth place, specially if we had live in for a long time, as the years when our character is in base-forming period, is part of us and our experience. Bad mixed with good, but forever its - HOME SWEET HOME!

Nigeria
- I do love where I live because it is where I belongs to and I am used to living where I am living presently; I have no option; if I had, I would have changed my habitat.

Boise, Idaho
- Boise at a little over 200,000 and area population of close to 600,000 has cultural and professional sports advantages that many other cities of equal size do not have. Not many years ago it was designated as the safest metropolitan area of over 500,000 in the US. As the capital city of the state, it is the center of "what's happening" in the state. Yet it has a friendly "hometown feel." Our up and coming Boise State University has made a name for itself beyond our well known Bronco football team with its one of kind blue turf. With the surrounding communities in close proximity many people from other states find this an ideal place in which to retire or young families an excellent place in which to raise their children. The school district has an excellent rating and it is a well churched community. The nearby mountains and Lucky Peak Reservoir provide excellent opportunities for all seasons sports activities.

Mt. Pleasant, North Carolina
- We are a town of approximately 1400 people. Most everyone knows each other and we have been a tight knit community ever since I can remember and I was born in 1948. We have several churches in town and more on the outskirts which are well attended. Our school did not consolidate in the 60's and is still a community school. We have a common bond and that is we live in Mt. Pleasant and that is something special. We are close to larger cities but still far enough away to maintain our own idenity. I have visited many other areas but I have never found one that would take me away from home. We have good people that look after one another. Our crime rate is very low and we are proud of that. Our schools are good and I feel they are the best in the county. We would like to grow some but not too much. We are a diamond in the rough and we love it that way. That is Mt. Pleasant, North Carolina.

Alto San Juan Costa Rica
- The temperature extremes are 65 and 80. In the hills here it is always pleasant, at least in the shade. We are half an hour from the Pacific Ocean and a great surfing beach, and an hour from the hiking base of Mt. Chirripo (about 13,000 feet)

Mauke, Cook Islands, South Pacific
- The warmth of the people and weather are what I love most about this island. Also the peace and quiet and security I feel here. Mauke is a garden island (you can put a stick in the ground and it will grow) Mauke is a 50 minute flight north-east of Rarotonga.

Chicago, IL
- Even though I'm a reluctant resident of the suburbs, I'll always consider myself a Chicago girl. Chicago is such an amazing city; we're home to an extraordinary variety of culture, be it fine art such as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (one of the best orchestras in the world) or the Art Institute, or more accessible fare such as our sports teams (who despite their lack of wins, never lack spirit... go Sox!) and Second City, our world-renowned comedy club that has launched the career of stars like Tina Fey and Steve Carell. Despite our less-than-tropical weather, the amazing hospitality of our residents make Chicago one of the warmest places I know of. The best part of Chicago, however, is the incredible amount of spirit and heart it has. Through good times and bad, we've bonded so much as a city. Chicago puts the sweet in home sweet home for me, and no politician can tax that.

Mounds View, Minnesota
- I live in Mounds View, Minnesota. It is a suburb of the state capitol, St Paul. This city is 2 miles by 2 miles, small by many standards. I like the quiet neighborhoods and the fact that the houses sit on large wooded lots. There is quite a bit of wild living in the city, like deer, wild turkeys, hawks of all kinds, an eagle or two, lots of Canadian geese, ducks, pheasants, raccoon, and the usual squirrels and rabbits. People are warm, considerate, and look out for the neighbors, but not nosy. The fire department brings Santa around the week before Christmas on one of the fire trucks he collects food for the needy and gives you a candy cane for standing in the cold waiting for him. It is a nice place to live.

Pleasanton, California, USA
- I love Pleasanton. Its has a deep history that intrigues its residents. Its school are amazing; some have been awarded the Blue Ribbon Award. It is also very peaceful. The peacefulness and lush vegetation makes me proud to call Pleasanton home.
