100% Europe specifically Italy. I have to admit that my judgement is heavily influenced by the movie Letters to Juliet. ?

Africa. Any day any time. However specifically, Kenya. We might have big problems as a country but one thing is for sure , Kenyans are amazing people

Me too! I'm proud of the fact that i'm Asian, but I do think about how I would've turned out if I'd been born in Europe or Australia. :o

South America would be my choice because I crave so much to step in the amazon Forrest one day.

I was born and live in Africa. Given a second chance to be born I would still choose Africa. This is a land of opportunities.

Africa all the way..... though I must admit, the advancements and development in other continents like Europe usually make me envious. However, I still choose Africa and am proud to be born one.

Post by Rebecca Henderson »

It might sound arrogant but I think I'd prefer to be born on the continent I was born on--America! Or well, North America, I suppose, but specifically the United States. I think that while there are other continents I'd like to visit, being born here is a good way to have the freedom and opportunities not always afforded in other countries. I think if I had to pick another continent--or country--I'd pick Germany, since I speak German and I have a large sweet tooth (who doesn't love German chocolate?).

Haha, ... I've never had German chocolate, & I happen to also have a large sweet tooth! ;)

I certainly wish I was born in America, heck that's the only thing left! I already behave like them, despite never having stepped foot outside Africa! Still, I love my African heritage so I guess I would have loved to be a mix of both! :D :P

I'm quite happy being European (though NOT happy about Brexit!) but would most certainly like to travel more and experience other civilisations and continents - I have a special fixation on South America and would love to see Machu Picchu. But all lands and continents have their own beauty and uniqueness.

North America. I feel particularly connected with the culture there, especially Canada's.
However, I can't complain since I live in Europe, which would have been a very close second.

Are you serious? That's awesome that you would actually want to live in Italy, I don't think there are that many people that would move here. Yes, it is beautiful, but maybe a bit intimidating to foreigners? I don't know, I have encountered many people who spent several months in Florence, but none who actually live there.
