My village in Kerala, India. I got a house and I have a small patch of land which is very fertile and plenty of water (there are places with water scarcity). I get to watch the monsoon rains.
The beach is like a couple of miles away. The mountains are also quite close and its very beautiful and its very much untouched nature.
It's also very hot and humid but I am fine with that.
Also, they get fiber so the internet is faster than where I live in the Bay Area.
The only problem was that there were no jobs there but with the Facebook announcement, that hopefully will change for the better.
- canada_dry 6y agoGotta say Kerala looks pretty livable. https://www.google.ca/maps/@8.0832685,77.5565189,3a,75y,326.63h,96.53t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1sAF1QipNxnwIvGttExLyp6_E8KVSByaccvFfSoh1aJfI9!2e10!3e11!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipNxnwIvGttExLyp6_E8KVSByaccvFfSoh1aJfI9%3Dw203-h100-k-no-pi-6.977492-ya219.2926-ro0-fo100!7i7680!8i3840 https://www.google.ca/maps/@8.0832685,77.5565189,3a,75y,326.... Traveling through India for a couple months is on my bucket list, and now Kerala is part of that.
- nsenifty 6y agoThat is from Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu, not Kerala.
- Karupan 6y agoThat is Kanyakumari as the other commenter has pointed out. I was born and raised near there. It was such a beautiful place back then with a lot of greenery, ponds and the ocean. I wouldn't want to go back and live there these days, but I do miss the small town vibe I grew up with.
- hombre_fatal 6y agoHow did you presumably google Kerala and then pick a city on a different coast in a different state?
- canada_dry 6y agoCovid brain. Kindly note though that the distance from the point I chose to the state of Kerala (not the city) is roughly the distance from Miami to Boca Raton.
- uh2010 6y agoLove for Kerala +1
- somishere 6y agoAs a non-Indian I would say most places in India are way up there in the beauty stakes, be it the desert states, the southern tropics, the inland forests, the river deltas or the mountains .. but I think for lifestyle you really can't go past Kerala or Himachal Pradesh. They have it all.
- noufal1359 6y ago+1 for Kerala. My native is Kerala, but I was living in Bangalore for job. Due to Covid19, right now I am WFH from Kerala. Only issue I see is, in summer 3 months (March to May), it will be hot and humid here, so AC is required. Otherwise all good.
- bloodorange 6y agoI had the opportunity to spend a week in Kerala. It's a beautiful place with rather friendly people and such delicious food! What a lovely place!
