The World's 5 Best Places to Live In

Bangalore: Bored of living and visiting the same old places. Tom Dyckhoff from the guardian spotted five perfect places from a surfer's paradise in Hawaii to a bohemian rhapsody in Portland, where you could live.

1. Northern Coast, Maui, Hawaii:

The northern coast of Maui is where you go totally to detach from reality. Be it surfing or just some alone time to relax, Maui is the place to be. The northern coast comprises a series of tumbledown, laid-back bars, waterfalls, surf spots like Ho’okipa Beach and Kapalua Bay, lush forests, and communities of writers and artists. Guavas and avocados are as common as nettles here and so are whales. The place is exceedingly friendly and community-minded. How to get there? The main airport at Kahului is about 13 miles to the west and, from Haiku; it's about a 15 minute drive to the main towns at Paia and Makawao. The must visit ‘hang-out’ place here is Pauwela Cafe on West Kuiaha Road and they make a mighty coffee.
