At one time I would have said no but as I've gotten older the idea of going somewhere new actually appeals to me. I'd go to a tropical location without any problems no matter where it was. So maybe if the world has a tropical region for me to live :)
Of course, no one would want to leave loved ones and never see them again. If my loved ones came too, then maybe. It would be really exciting to go to a world that had only a small population of people or sentient beings.

Personally, I'm afraid of flying. Well... maybe more afraid of falling a mile through the sky and stopping really fast.....
It's strange but I have no problem with flying but the thought of going down in the ocean in a submarine really scares me. Go figure!And, yes, leaving family would be most difficult. So I would have to have at least my hubby and daughter with me, too.
My husband convinced me a few years ago that I would be fine going up in a glider, and I would have no problem with air sickness. I don't think it was the going up in the air part that bothered me, because the idea of gliders appeals to me. I think it was the claustrophobia combined with fear of air sickness that made it such a bad experience. Fortunately the air sickness held off until five minutes or so after we came back to the ground. Then I was so sick! So, no cramped spaceships for me, not unless they put me in cryogenic suspension or whatever.
When I was a young graduate I would have went in a heartbeat and never looked back. I would go now if I had the return ticket in hand. I can't suppress the scientist in me but I'd worry about my family.Pamela, I'm with you...I cringe at the thought of being submerged in water. I have no idea how submariners deal with it. I suppose the same could be said about space flight but there is a definite psychological difference between the cold, dark vacuum of space and the cold, dark pressure underwater. Perhaps I’m just a wee bit aquaphobic. :-)
Yes as long has parasdis environment and there is no crazy creatures. Also as long I can come back home to Earth. I don't mind visiting I just don't want to stay.
As with all things, it would depend on where and with whom. But, this planet is getting a little scary, IMHO.

It's getting scary enough these days that another world might seem welcoming. Alternatively, shipping the people away who are wrecking everyone else's peace would work. I have noticed that most of your worlds, Kaitlyn, mirror ours in this way. Government doesn't look out for ordinary people, because they seem to be too busy looking out for big business. I suppose that's the key to it all. I notice this in other sci-fi author's books, as well.
Mod
It would be enticing. I think it would depend on the world and who I was going with. I've moved so many times, I'm not really attached to a specific place. I think it would be an adventure to travel and see different worlds. Try new foods. See new things. I guess that is why I like reading sci-fi romances so much.
Nope. I don't like driving over tall bridges, or flying, and I don't do rollercoasters anymore. But, I'd be REALLLLLLY tempted if a tall, dark, well built God was doing the inviting/ kidnapping, lol!
Mod
Excellent point, Kaitlyn. I have to agree!
