Il n'y a nulle part où je préférerais être.

Il n'y a nulle part où je préférerais être.

There is nowhere where I would rather be. This English translation is confusing and not something that would be normally said in English Rather: There is nowhere (else) I would rather be. The way it's stated, in English it would mean "I don't have a preference for where I am" . Maybe this IS the intent of the sentence. ?

I would have translated it as ‘There is nowhere I would rather be’. You don’t need the word where.
