Where do you prefer to live - mountains or ocean?

Hi wlee, I have both to choose from, I live close to the sea and need to cross a mountain to get to the town, which is then also by the sea. Then if I carry right on my man lives part way up another mountain with the sea about 20 minutes drive away. This is more touristy at this end so I love the other side and the differences, the lack of new building and the sense of a place which is still much more traditionally Greek. When the heat is unbearable here it can be perfect there, and although it will be colder in the winter it will be a fresher cold rather than a damp cold. It's hard to decide between the two but I love the feeling of getting away when I go there.

I think there is not really an answer from my side, I would like both of them. But still I'm thinking which one and probabily I'd choose the ocean, it is more relaxing for me, hot, warm...mmm...I really love beach towns, I always dreamt to live in one of those small beach towns. So guess the answer for me is ocean.

i grew up in the mountains but now live on the gulf of mexico, i fish a lot but i also keep a home i rent out in the georgia mountains just in case i get the urge to move back some day. overall id rather be in the mountains, i love walking thru the woods lake fishing, and fishing a nice peaceful stream for trout, i do not keep the fish i catch i throw them back, i practice catch and release.

If it is possible, I would prefer to live near the ocean.Because in summer, I can go to swim very conveniently.

This would be a really tough choice for me. I've lived in a city not close to either. So i'd want like a combination if that were possible :P I love the idea of living by a mountain. I prefer cold over heat. Plus the whole picture that forms in my mind of a place near a mountain, the adventures and picnics and outdoor parties that can be held.. :D

I prefer to live in the mountains as it's easier to survive.

I would prefer to live in mountains as there is so much to look forward.You can enjoy the srenity in a natural environment.Moreover I can consme natural and healthy foods like fruit and others if I stay in mountain ...I love animals ..so I can not dump the idea of exploring the world life ...So all high to stay close to mountain ... In my wildest dream I always feel that soon I will be a king in mountain !!!Dreams can turn to relaity and I am a firm believer of the same...See you there wlee9696...

Hi W, I preferred to stay or live in the mountains. It is more safer than living in the ocean. I was exposed to living in the mountains with our local people and life there is so simple and very peaceful. I want to grow old with my husband in the mountains where i will enjoy the nature and its fruits!

The sea would be my answer despite the humidity. I love the sea because I feel so free. I was raised near a coastal area and every weekend, we would often go to the beach. In contrast, the altitude in the mountains makes me sick. I was living for 5 years in La Paz, Bolivia. You can't get any more mountains than this. It is the highest capital in the world, 4000 meters. I often got altitude sickness and had difficulties sleeping. Which is not to say that the mountains are not beautiful. My view from the kitchen was the snow-capped mountains of the Illimani and that was fantastic! I just could not live up so high.

i live and grow in the city and of course im used to in city life....our fam. had place and home near ocean and place in the mountain in my dad's hometown which is 2hrs from the city so i know what is life living near the ocean and living on the mountain.....what i like living far from the city like the 2 places we got that its good to smell fresh air every morning..no air pollution..quite, no traffic and busy streets...

hmmm this is an interesting to discuss about. Well every mountains there is oceans! so both. Here in the Philippines, we love mountain hiking, and after that we'll go down and swim to beautiful seas. I really love nature. it was fantastic!

I prefer to live in the mountain for water just is not my element. I like the cool climate of the highlands and I definitely love the view from up there. I love trekking so that could be a plus as well. However, I really think that water is not my element. I do not like the waves under my feet. But yes, I do love the beach, but not to live in it. So I guess, Id rather be a highlander.

Well, in summer i go and always spend about a month in the mountains, with my friend. So, i think the mountains are a better place to live in. I love to hike, the nature, i also like to fish...

I would love to live by the ocean cause I love the breeze that it brings you, and I love to take walks in the sand, lay out, and watch the sun go down, but I love the mountains I have lived around mountains and you really can't get anywhere as fast as you need to like if something was to happen but I like both of them actually.

I have passed the prime of my youth and have grown tired of life in the concrete jungle the city provides with all the accompanying noise and pollution. Given a chance I would like to live on a mountain with all the modern amenities. It's nice to be in touch with the rest of the world whilst living in a remore place. It makes me close to nature and it might lengthen my life a little bit, I suppose.

i dreamed of living in a mountain too . i want to see the beautiful plants and trees around me. and i want to breath fresh air and enjoy nice sceneries and enjoy a long, relaxing walk.

hey i am really very happy on the earth dear but seriously you have started a very good topic and easy to respond for. If here i dont have option to live on earth then i would prefer to live on moutains.

i prefer to live at mountain. Coast is to hot for me. I do love cool environmet like mountain

I grew up in the mountains but I have never seen the sea so far. When I was very young, I remember that there were mountains on every side in my hometown. Deep in my book, it was hard to get over the muddy road everytime when I wen to the city for study. Yes, there, the location was not convenient for lack of decent public transport. So, if I have some chances to make a decision, I prefer to living in ocean. In my eyes, I can enjoy a better life there although I has not been a ocean person.

for me i prefer to live in the mountains. because mountains have many food to eat while ocean just a little food. Ocean have no Rice, in the mountain there are so many rice to cook.
