I have a friend who traveled the world for 2 years. I know she didn't see everything but New Zealand was her favorite. However, the New Zealander that she fell in love with came back here with her because there is more opportunity for him in the states. So, I agree that there is no "best". It just depends on your criteria.

I feel lucky to live in Boston because I've got the mountains only 3 hours away, and the sea right out my window. I can escape the city in 10 minutes, or I can take a walk downtown. However, I cannot afford any real estate around here, it is insane! So there are pluses and minuses everywhere I suppose.
