Vancouver, Canada!
- Okay, so it rains a lot and people complain that the skytrain doesn't run all night (it should!) and that housing is really expensive, but despite those issues, Vancouver is a great place to live. Where else can I ski in the morning and sail in the afternoon? Not that I do that, but it's an option. There are lots of biking trails, hiking trails, beaches, and wildlife, all within a few miles of my home. So it all depends on what you're looking for. For me, I love being outside, dressing casually and being able to cycle to work.

New York City
- OK, housing is expensive and some areas are pretty noisy. But for my money, give me New York City. There's a vibrant culture here that you can't find anywhere else. There's diversity in people, food, music, religion, language...everything, really. And convenience! My out-of-town friends still can't believe we can have anything from home improvement supplies to ice cream delivered to our front door.

San Francisco
- SF is my favorite city, or for that matter, any city within the Bay Area; so much to do, great weather and close proximity to beaches, mountains and wineries. It has everything I'm looking for as part of a young couple just starting out.
