Australia takes first prize, best place in the world

In my view, Australia is the best place in the world. It has the best climate, natural beauty, unique wildlife, fantastic beaches, a good life style for those that work, and wonderful people. That's why I live here by choice. I have traveled the world a bit. I was born in a beautiful country, where I grew up and worked for half my life. I have also lived and worked in another beautiful country for a number of years. However, I have to say, I am one of the many privileged people that now live in the best place in the world, Australia.

The best place in the world, where is it? You tell me.

Let's hear it from YOU, our readers. Where is the best place to live in the whole wide world?

Many people have asked that exact question, and many have tried to answer it. Every year there are polls and surveys to establish the world's best countries, cities or places to live. These polls are done professionally based on some set of criteria. However, I say, let the people speak for themselves.

If you honestly believe that you know the answer, or would like to at least cast your vote for a place that is precious to you and should qualify to be listed here, then this is the place to share it. Get your friends to participate and let's see if we can help answer the question and explain why the places listed are the best in the world.

Yes I will also list the place that I perceive to be the best, but let's get the discussions rolling and keep it rolling, I have no doubt that we will all learn a few things from each posting and that we might start broadening our travel horizons.
