lincoln virtually on the east coast of england. good bits-hmmm thinking about that, bad bits the university they opened ten years ago

[sylvie]

Virginia Beach, VA where we have a strong military presence (a lot of navy here), but there's the beach tourism as well.  I've been considering moving back home to Colorado, but it would mean leaving my daughter behind.

I wasn't expecting such a quick response I kind of predicted the U.S would take up the most part followed by Australia (BTW stop complaining about the weather in Australia, today in Dublin; rain, snow, rain, sleet, snow, and rain, still raining too  ) I actually applied to go to Queensland Uni but couldnt afford the tuition, another thing to love about this little island free 3rd level education .
Ok everyone has said where they are or from, so where are you going? Where do you want to go in the future, or where have you always dreamed of living? For me, either California (internship at UCSB) or Berlin for the summer would be ideal. After that who knows.

I could go for miami, real estate costs an arm/leg/kidney and there's the occasional hurricane, but it beats snow. also thinking of vancouver, BC; auckland, new zealand; and the UK.

[Landon18]

I live in Los Angeles California...

I love my home.. Its where i grew up and especially being 10 minutes away from west hollywood is cool.
There are many gay,Lesbian,Trans people here so i dont feel too uncomfortable.
Its an awesome place to live.

For me, if I get my SSDI, I am thinking maybe trading this trailer in for a Class C Motorhome and tour the county, before I can't.  So my dear Brothers and Sisters, if this occurs, don't be surprised if you have a knock at your door and there is a Motorhome parked out front.

Lemme know when you get to Sili Valley!

Having traveled the world on both business as well as pleasure, and having been most places in the US, I currently have no intention of going anywhere.  Really, the rest of the US is just too weird right now.  I gave up touring to have a home theater so I don't need the money, and I'm content to stay in Cali, where just about anything I want or need can be found.

After everyone has been so nice to me during my transition, it would be hard for me to leave.

"If I had not come to these high plains,
my heart would have missed
the beat of this love of place,
my guts would have yearned for
some unknown fulfillment,
my mind would have shrunk
to a small, civilized size,
and my soul would have tentacles,
searching, always reaching out
for what I found here. 

"But I am now like the tenacious sage
wide roots forced into
this seldom yielding ground
to make a place for me
to hold on tight
to nurture and be nourished
and, oh this land does feed me."

Janet,
You know where I live and will be welcome any time.

I'm from Surrey, England. Was born here, moved to Kent then moved back. Don't much like it here but it's not awful.

[Giselle Marie]

Ok everyone has said where they are or from, so where are you going? Where do you want to go in the future, or where have you always dreamed of living?

I've been fortunate to have travelled all over the world for both business and pleasure, I lived in the US for a few years, but England will always be my home. Having visited all continents including Antarctica except Australasia, so that is to be the next place to go....not sure when surgery takes priority at the moment.

Currently live in southampton on the south coast of the UK. Good points, all teh amazing friend I have, near to london and bristol, it's quite multi-cultural and fairly excepting of people who don't sit in those binary boxes the world seems to expect us too. Bad bits, music scene is a bit meh.

Want to move to bristol at some point as I love it...and the west country.

I'd like to visit Japan, and climb Mount Fuji. I'd like to see Stonehenge. I want to ride my bike around each of the Great Lakes, but I'll probably start with Lake Tahoe.

Ideally, I'd live in Half Moon Bay, California.

I grew up on the north shore of Massachusetts.  Very gay and artsy area.  Great place, if you have money.  I have lived here in west coast, central Florida for 30 years now.  Very conservative, with pockets of enlightenment.  While the county has a rule refusing any money for anything gay, the city of Tampa has protections for gays, not trans.  St. Petersburg and some of the smaller towns actually protect transgendered people.  It is ok in winter-it freezes, but rarely snows (1978).   Very hot and humid in the summer.  We have people eaten by sharks (less than 25 miles from my house) as well as alligators.  We miss most of the really bad tornadoes, except when they are connected with a Cat 5 hurricane, then we have plenty.
By the way, my wife and I travel to New England for a week in the fall.  I always walk just a little taller, with a spring in my step knowing that they actually consider us human beings there, with actual rights.  I would love to retire to coastal Maine, or maybe the Berkshires.   

[Jasmine.m]

I live in Wisconsin.

I also live in Wisconsin!!

within the uk i want to live in the lake district just so i can indulge my love of photography. The rest of the world- there's so much i want to see but its doubtful i'll ever get there.

Born and raised in one of the poshest areas of London (I saw our old home up for sale in country life - which is a property magazine dealing with stately homes and the like - it was up for about 25 million dollars and I was like WTF I really wish my parents had kept that!) We sold it for a tiny fraction of that.

Split my childhood living as an honorary schoolgirl between two amazing boarding schools on the south coast (one near Worthing the other near Brighton) and our London home. (for the 1960's my schools were unbelievably tolerant of my gender non compliance - but I guess that's what you get from having rich and ultra progressive parents )

Moved out to various places in the Reading/Oxford/London area when I became a proper young woman and had my SRS.

Finally moved down to cornwall with my partner when my mother died.

I would LOVE to live in America Canada or Australia, even if only for a year or two, but unless one of my books get's published and made into a film I probably won't manage it.

PS Janet - I've already told you - (and indeed any of my friends on here) any time you want to visit cornwall - the spare room is all yours. But if you come in the summer bring your swimming cozie cos our pool is glorious!

I'm currently in Toronto, Ontario. I like it because it's a huge collection of different types of people - it's easy enough to find a corner of the community to call home.

Hopefully I'll live by the ocean next, which is something I've never done before. I'm thinking somewhere along the Canadian west coast.

Im from Hull in the north east area of the UK. good parts.. hmm i suppose everything in the city is quite closely packed togeether so its easy to get to shops and entertainment. The bad part.. not enough variety of things to do, at least in my opinion. Id like to move to the US or Australia someday but those hopes are a long way off yet.
