If I could live anywhere in the world, where would I live?<\/p>\n

I think about the question from time to time. If I found a job that could support me there or if money were no object, where would I go?<\/p>\n

Believe it or not, I have two<\/i> answers, one which is slightly<\/i> more realistic than the other.<\/p>\n

The unrealistic answer? Edinburgh, Scotland.<\/p>\n

\"edinburgh\"<\/p>\n

I don’t really have an answer to why<\/i> Edinburgh. Maybe it’s the culture. Maybe it’s the accents. Maybe it’s the football. I don’t know, I’ve never been there. It’s just a romantic, unrealistic idea, the sort of thing I’d do if I won the lottery.<\/p>\n

The slightly more realistic answer? Washington.<\/p>\n

I’ve always felt that I’m culturally Washingtonian, and I just love the city. When I visit, I’m happy there.<\/p>\n

I’ve applied for jobs in DC from time to time. Nothing has ever bitten, sadly, but for the right job and the right money I’d move to DC in a heartbeat. I’d want to live in Capitol Hill or the Navy Yards neighborhoods, north of the Anacostia.<\/p>\n

And if I hit the lottery, that’s definitely<\/i> something I’d do. Maybe I’d even take a part-time job with a non-profit, even something as menial as licking envelopes, just to have something to do.<\/p>\n

Those are places I would go — Edinburgh and Washington.<\/p>\n

I could even split my time between them. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
