Can't really answer because I am unsure at the moment, but I really like the idea of being out in nature, somewhere scenic. This would be my preferred place, but may not be able to swing it when the time comes, hopefully soon. I'm trying to wait it out while looking for a partner, but if I can't then I would be doing it at home.

Definitely with nature. I've always been a nature person, and always said that's where I want to die.

A cheap, crappy motel was my original plan, but that's not even an option anymore with all the virus shut-downs and restrictions.

I don't want to do it at home because I don't want to traumatize my dogs more than necessary (although I would like to die while cuddling them).

I'd like to do it in a scenic place and have a favorite location in mind. However, recovering my body would put extra strains on emergency services that are already stretched thin (again due to the virus).

So I guess I have to stick around for a while.

In a five star hotel, lol.
If I am going to die anyways I can spend some money and ctb in luxury.

I wish I could do it at home because when I'm in the mood to do it then I can't do it, because I live with family and I feel that I have to do it semi-impulsively to overcome the SI of full-suspension. Also, I don't feel like going a long distance to get to the location and I would rather not risk someone intervening (I can't go out late because that would be out of character for me so my family would get suspicious).

I'm not sure, but probably in nature or something similar. It would be nice to see the ocean before I go.

Idk if I'm going to or not, but it'd definitely be somewhere that I wouldn't be found, hopefully for a very long time.

Home, definitely. It sounds silly, but I want to be somewhere familiar and cozy when I die, with the things that gave me comfort during life. My own bed and blankets and no unfamiliar smells or sounds or anything. I feel like I wouldn't be able to relax if I was outside or at a hotel.

I plan to leave my letters on the outside of my bedroom door so that whoever discovers me will at least have a heads-up. "Hey, I might be kind of purple. Don't freak out, I'm just dead." That's one of the only issues I have with dying at home. I hate the idea of leaving behind a "room someone died in" though.

I think a hotel (cheap one), just so I have privacy for long enough to ensure I don't survive. I don't want anyone to find my body and be traumatized and feel guilty. But living with my parents makes home not and option and I can't think of an outdoor place that would be comfortable or private enough.

Hotel, two reasons-
1) I want to enjoy in my last week
2) I don't have privacy in my home, so hotel is my option

That doesn't sound silly at all. I would want this too, but I don't want my father to be the one to find me. Plus, after losing my job and home, I had to move in with him almost two months ago, so I feel more like a guest in my current bedroom still. It's not the house I grew up in so my current room doesn't feel so much as home. I would love to die in the bedroom I grew up in, but that's impossible.

Without a doubt, home. It's the one place I'm certain I won't be interrupted or found right away.

I will do it in a hotel for privacy but with the UK going into lock down I won't be ctb anytime soon as a hotel will want questions like why do you want a room lol and I think they will be closing them down soon as no one is using them.

In the woods where nobody will find me too soon. I will send a delayed email to police with my coordinates. This option also allows for more flexibility on timing. No room rental etc.
Home wont work because I dont want family members to find me. And I dont want to decrease the value of the home. A hotel feels creepy and I dont want the hotel workers to have to deal with me.

Yes I am leaning towards nature as well, for the same reasons you listed.

Since it's getting warmer again and I am an avid hiker and wild camper I will find a place somewhere, maybe in the black forest or Bavarian forest here in Germany where I can be uninterrupted and that has a fireplace and so on.

The downside to this is that I would like to do it in the early morning hours but this would be a bad strategy out in nature because of the higher likelihood of being interrupted.

Edit: also scared of being eaten by some larger animal or rodents and then being found totally disfigured.

I think if its remote enough, morning would not be a problem. I'll be going to thick woods near my home where nobody goes. Where I live deer are the wildest animals around, so my body will likely be ok. Small rodents wont do too much damage.
I too am waiting for warmer weather so I will be more comfortable. It's just too cold now, and since there are no leaves on the trees I would be less camouflaged.

Actually I might be better of doing it in nature but there is nothing near me only parks but anyone could find my body and the nearest forest is Epping and that's about 2 hours away everything seems much harder with this corona virus as the transport is being cut and stations closed so it may take longer.

Are you from the Americas? We in central Europe have no real forests anymore, even the national parks are a joke. You can't walk for thirty minutes in one direction without crossing some sort of road or trail.

Edit: yeah it says US on your profile...

I'll choose in nature, definitely. I can only realize doing it at the midnight or later in the mountains after a camping with myself as my last spiritual retirement.

Nnnerve, I appreciate your impulse, but please time your death and discovery very carefully. My dearest friend shared your desire to ctb in the coziness of her own bedroom and clearly assumed she would be found within several hours, appearing beautifully at peace and suitable for an open-casket funeral (she was a fashion model). Unfortunately, her body wasn't discovered for four days--by her 13-year-old daughter. She wasn't "kind of purple." She was black, green, bloated, and already liquefying. The stench and visual trauma remain nearly unbearable for her little girl. Her loss is heartbreaking beyond words, but the investigators' photographs will haunt me forever. I recommend finding a hotel you love and timing your discovery with the probable arrival of housekeeping. You can still surround yourself with your own comforting blankets and favorite candles/music (as well as any letters you wish to leave), your body will be fresh, and hotel staff will be less likely to be traumatized by the death of a stranger. Additionally, no stigma will be attached to your home, especially in the event someone must resell it. Just my thoughts. May you find peace and clarity on this difficult journey.

Just curious as to how you got access to the investigators' photographs.
A family member shared them with me. She also showed me several taken by my friend's ex-husband when his daughter phoned him, screaming, and he rushed to the house before law enforcement arrived. They were deeply scarring.
