So if you had to live somewhere for 3 months where would it be?
This is the criteria:
+You haven't already been there.
+You would have enough£ for an average lifestyle.
+You have to say why you picked where you did
+It's pre-covid
---------------------------
I would pick Colombia , prob one of the smaller cities. I keep reading that it's having a bit (pre covid19 obviously) of a boom and is increasingly safe.
Plus, I'm still trying to learn Spanish and most of my teachers are from there or Venezuela . It would be great to actually be immersed ,I think I would finally 'crack' the language.
Doing one hour here and there isn't really moving me forward.
 
On the Goan coast.
I’ve travelled around Northern India but not been further south than Mumbai.

I love the cuisine and the culture of India and I hear the beaches are breathtaking in Goa.

North Island NZ above Auckland.
Never been, always wanted to go, 3 months long enough to tour both islands and decide where I like most. Then settle in the much warmer northern tip.
I don’t like the cold and don’t need mountains
 
I love the food in SE Asia so somewhere like Vietnam seen as though I've already been to Thailand and Malaysia so they are ineligible.

I'd also like to experience living in the World's mega cities that I have no intention of ever living in like London, NY, Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai. I don't think you get the same experience from visiting them as you would living there.

If it was somewhere I have been and I would go back to live then it would be New Zealand. If it wasn't so far away then I probably would have already done it.
 
Tahiti.

Looks absolutely stunning, but it's on the opposite end of the world and would be completely outside of my price range otherwise.

But I've already been to France, so it may be excluded under your criteria.

If not there, I'd fancy Buenos Aires as well.
 
A nice 'none tourist' part of Thailand

It's clearly cheap and would love to be near a gourgous beach and sun. I love Thai food so probably come back a bit slimmer as you can eat really healthily👍

Just love it. Really nice people and great food / drink and views.

Living in London is VERY different from visiting as a tourist you are right. I imagine that'll be amplified for other places, although I know a few people who've managed to move to Shanghai OK.

If it was places you'd already visited it would be Singapore for me by a long way. I really want to move there, and the way this country is going, hope I can.

(Outer Hebrides) Love the area it is just so peaceful and empty, the people are great and not too many of them, three months would be enough then I'd probably appreciate "civilsation" more, or perhaps just stay...

At least three months gives you a chance to see if somewhere suits you. I'm no lover of big cities, don't mind the cold or the rain and I can happily do without people (or at least I think I can) it'd be interesting and very different without being "alien".
 
Tokyo I think as Ive never been, and it would be a good base to explore the rest of Japan. Plus the city itself would be pretty mind blowing I reckon. Living in London Im used to hustle and bustle but that would be on another level, and I like the idea of being completely out of my comfort zone
