Title: Where Would You Live If You Won The Lottery.
Post by: Mr Skrunts on 11 July 2009, 12:11:57
After starting the other thread

http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1247310153/new#new

it got me thinking where would I live if money were no object.

The honest reply would have to be I think my main home would stay where it is.  But I reckon I would invest in a 2nd home over in the states just to go over and play for a few months a year.

Corsica. The Meds best kept secret. French and an island so doubly not cheap. It has everything from mountains to secluded beaches.

I would use that as a base to see the rest of the world.

Why own property? - have an accommodation address instead.

If the win were sufficiently substantial why not spend a month at a good hotel in each of the significant capital cities around the world, on a recurring basis?

Enjoy the differing cultural aspects on offer and follow the great events as they happen in their seasonal schedule.

Eh , lets think.
Somewhere with wild mountains that I could get lost in , somwhere where I could fish and sail and enjoy the 4 seasons without beauracracy ruling my life ,somewhere where the speed of life was much slower and people had time to chat , enjoy each others company and I could park wherever  I wanted to , for free .
Mmmm,  :-/
I'll just stay where I am Thanks ................. :y

Have to have a nice UK base, then travel the world to look for somewhere. If you need injections to visit a place, I wouldn't go to that place, not scared of needles BTW.

South of france is nice for the pace of life -- maybe too near thhe in laws though!!!  And a trifle dusty.

Cornwall would be nice ---- Olympia5776's part of the world looks inviting.

Maybe a pad in each  :)  But the family seat would be back in Cornwall. Might buy Lanherne back !!!!

That's an interesting take on the subject.
