    People who say "There's nowhere else on earth I'd rather be," are content being where they are. They do not wish to be in any other place than where they are currently. People who say this might also say, "This place is my favorite place on earth." For some people that place might be with their families in their hometowns. For others it might be in a favorite vacation/holiday location. Each person's favorite place is unique and uniquely personal. Commented Jun 14, 2013 at 1:54
