10 cities and why I like them

1. Montreal

Good people (at least if you speak French), lots of fun in the summer (tons of festivals)

2. Lisbon

Pleasant, relaxed, great coffee shops, good weather

3. Brussels

Good people. International. Beer.

4. Barcelona

Weather. International. Stand up comedy. Beach. Social life.

5. Tehran

Nicest people. 

6. Burlington, Vermont

Somehow there's something really pleasant about that place. Peaceful, friendly, small town vibe. 

7. Istanbul

Like several countries inside one city. Warm people. Beautiful. Lots to do. Kadıköy is kind of like a small city where you can easily get to know people and run into them. 

8. Naples

I loved the chaos the first time I visited. The second time, I wasn't in the mood for it. Not sure how I would feel about it now. 

9. Playa del Carmen, Mexico

Social life. Weather. Beach. Party. Walkable. International. 

10. Groningen, Netherlands

I love the Netherlands in general. This is a small city, big enough to go out and have fun but small enough to feel intimate and quiet. I just spent a couple of days there but loved it.
