If you could live anywhere in the world for a year, where would it be?

Between last week's question, planning our upcoming camping trip, debating future trips, and family members moving to new destinations (**exciting**), there's been a lot of talk about traveling and exploring at our house.
As some of you pointed out last week, there's no shortage of breathtaking places to visit, but where would you want to lay down roots for a little longer?

I would say Italy, specifically Tuscany. Even though I've been there twice (epic family trip! Romano's Villa) I would love to really settle in and live there. Endless exploring of the hill towns, an easy train to Rome and Florence for history, museums, etc, I would love to take a cooking class, maybe casual cooking with an Italian Grandma type. Almalfi Coast, visiting seaside towns.. so much to do but I would want lots of down time to read, listen to music, and to just enjoy the place.
I have ALWAYS wanted to live in London. It’s one of my favorite cities - the cozy English pubs, the history, the architecture, the British accents, the easy use of the tube, and the array of culture from the diversity of its people. It has every season (which I need), loads of parks, an appreciation for the finer things, and is also a short train ride to many lovely countryside towns.
My true hope is that David can get a medical research assignment there for a few months so we have actual excuse to go live there :)
