Let's see. I've been a lot of places in the world and still have a hard time answering this question. But some of my criteria would be:

1) English speaking
2) not too crowded
3) lots of nature nearby and accessible
4) Doesn't get too hot or too cold
5) Reasonably safe
6) good logistics so I can get everything I need
7) has forests and beaches and mountains

So I guess the north part of the south island of new Zealand, parts of Oregon \ california, or southern scottish coast (maybe island of Arran) could all fit that bill. But I'm probably staying right here for things like work, family, ease of caring for dog who doesn't like other people or dogs, etc.

Tennessee easily fits all those criteria except beaches. Just saying.

For number six you probably want to live in a small town that is close to a large city. Best of both worlds. I recommend a small town that is close to Jackson or nashville. Much better than memphis.
 
I dont quite understand the mud hut in the woods thing though
wouldnt you live in a log cabin in the woods...or a treehouse?

A mud hut would work somewhere where theres enough mud to make it. Like Rotorua, by the hot mud pools

No, those were MY choices! You can't steal them! :D

You have a point about the mud hut, though. I might have to settle for a treehouse. I do like treehouses, too. Easier to build than mud huts.

Any place with a warm climate, in the country on a farm with mountains and lakes.

God knows I am sick and tired of slipping and falling on ice.

Years ago in Maine, I slipped and fell on ice and broke my right arm. It was the day before my birthday in 2011. I lived in a warm climate in Florida for years. Plenty of lakes but no mountains to be found.

I would love Canada or Alaska if I could just stay snug in my cabin in the winter. Life demands that we go out and earn a living and do errands though, which is awful in winter.

Yeah, it's the going out in the winter to earn a living that becomes problematic.

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. And I say that someday I do want to go back and actually see New Zealand instead of just sitting in the YWAM office much of the time.
 
where was your office?

I recall calling round missions centres but when interviewed they just wanted to only send people that already had heaps of money.
