Asking &#8220;what&#8217;s the best one&#8221; is a bit like asking\n &#8220;what&#8217;s the best restaurant&#8221; without saying what you&#8217;re hungry for.<\/p>\n      <p>Two questions actually decide this for you: what feeling are \nyou chasing  glamorous, social, adventurous, or quiet  and do you want\n to settle into one place or hop between a few.
