Domestic: My "sky's the limit" choices would be Seattle, Denver, or maybe LA area. I think we are west coasters at heart but the COL has given me a lot of pause. Hopefully someday. We're actually about to relocate to Baltimore and I don't know if it's a "dream" destination but I am pretty excited about it. I think it sounds like a neat city on its own, and I'm super excited about its proximity to a lot of other neat places.
International: I think Barcelona sounds nice, but I haven't been there. I actually think Berlin is very livable. My in-laws live there, which is actually a drawback lol. But when visiting them I think we got a good taste of what it's like to be a local, and it was really nice. Great city, decent COL, good food and beer culture, good access to a lot of places, tons of history, interesting culture (both Germany and actual Berlin culture).
I love Salvador! I don't know that many people who have been there. I did a study abroad summer thing there in grad school, and it was such a beautiful, vibrant city. I'd love to go back, and I can definitely see living there.
Domestic: I would just move back to my home state. Won't mention for privacy reasons. I'm not into starting over again if I'm moving stateside, I've had enough of that and it doesn't sound appealing at this point in my life.
International: London. I just think it would be an easy international city to adjust to but also a great home base for travel. I would honestly consider living a ton of places, though, for a little while, if I didn't have to consider the logistics of getting a job, pets, etc.
Domestic: Northwest, anywhere between Vancouver, WA and Vancouver, BC. I just love the northwest and I'm moving back in May. It's so "green" feeling, I love the fresh seafood, local farmers markets, Winco, and being near a Cash N Carry. Having family in the area is a double bonus.
International: Probably Scotland or Ireland. I've never been anywhere internationally so those places are on my bucket list.

Domestic: San Diego solely because I’m so sick of this weather. My favorite city in the US is San Francisco, and would probably be my answer if this was asked in the summer.
International: New Zealand or Italy. I’ve never been to either, but we have friends who live in both places. H and I have both lived overseas before and are eager to do so again. However both of these are unlikely spots for us, which is what makes it a fantasy.
Domestic: Victoria BC. Such a lovely city and relatively close to mountains but with beautiful weather and sailing!
International: New Zealand or Australia. Also for the beautiful weather and sailing culture. I generally prefer the idea of other commonwealth nations.
Domestic - this sounds so random but the eastern shore of Maryland, maybe Salisbury. my brother and SIL live there and have a wonderful life - its a lower cost of living, they are close to the beach, they are out on boats every weekend, and they're not a far drive from train stations to go to New York (they go more than I do) or Philly or Williamsburg etc. They just have this wonderful laid back lifestyle that would not be possible in a bigger city. Besides that I don't know. Some place with milder weather than here and a lower cost of living.
Domestic: not many options here but I’d live in Montreal. I love the city a lot but would be hard to find English only jobs for my H.
International: right now, it’s Amsterdam or Sydney. We looked into both but Australia is too hard to take dogs so it was vetoed for now. We’re moving to Amsterdam so that dream is coming true. Maybe sometime in the future, we will also do a Sydney stint.
Eventually though, I want a second home somewhere. Perhaps Spain or Italy. Or somewhere in Africa but yet to be determined exactly where. Much more travelling to do first before we make that decision.
Domestic would be Miami. Beaches and nice weather nearly year round. SoCal probably has better weather, but I hated LA when I went there. Andplusalso, earthquakes. Dallas would also be on my short list, I loved that city when I visited several years ago.
International - probably Japan. I've never been there but I've always been fascinated by the culture.
This exercise is futile by hearing random destinations from other people!
Literally almost anywhere in the US. The international option is less likely as they don’t offer much relocation. It's not like he’s being offered anything at this point but he can transfer anywhere and look and advance in any location. He’s a manager with Costco, so he could work toward being a store director or moving into a corporate role. There are no stores in Arkansas but that’s about it.

Domestic: Smaller beach town within an hour outside of Miami. Close to family and the ability to enjoy the amenities of a larger city but with slightly less traffic.
International: I am undecided. I definitely want to be near water and access to a larger city as noted above for my ideal domestic location.
Domestic: Hood River, OR. It's beautiful- DH and I just fell in love with it. Plus, there are great little restaurants and breweries and it's close enough to Portland to satisfy my occasional city itch.
International: Scotland. Again, we just got a great feeling from being there. Edinburgh is a lot of fun but within an hour or so, you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere.
As it turns out, I really like mist/rain/dreary weather.

Domestic: I love living here in NorCal. I wouldn't leave here for the world. I'm 2 hours from the ocean, less than an hour from the mountains/Tahoe, and sitting in the middle of a fantastic, lesser-known wine country. Our quality of life is so much better since we've moved here. It'd be perfect if we could turn the county blue, but that's highly unlikely.
International: I think I'd like to do either New Zealand or perhaps one of the coastal cities in Chile - Concepcion or Algarrobo maybe.

I live in London so not really anywhere to domestically move as I wouldn't move anywhere else in England (I guess if we're counting the entire UK, then maybe Edinburgh, but I think I'd just want to stay in London).
International: I'd really like to try out either Singapore or Tokyo. My H works at a Japanese company and Tokyo could be a possibility which excites me.
