Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?
Beaches any day. There’s just something unbelievably relaxing about seeing water every morning and hearing the waves crashing against shore. I almost exclusively vacation to warm places with beaches.
And I say that as someone who lives near the coast of mainland Tanzania in East Africa.
Mountains are beautiful, but they tend to be cold up at altitudes, which I don’t enjoy. Back when I could ski, it was more fun.
That said, you can have both. Some mountains have streams and aren’t freezing all the time. Zanzibar has incredible mountains right on the beach:

But then you’d have to deal with Zanzibar’s cost of living.
I’m a fan of nature in general. Every climate has something to offer. It’s all that you make of it.
