Thanks for your explanations. They help me understand why you used certain words.
I hope you understood where I was going with mine.

No preposition is required to introduce an infinitive after the verb gustar. For example:
Me gusta vivir en las montañas. = I like to live in the mountains.

When 'de' is used to introduce an infinitive after gustar, the meaning is slightly altered. You are saying that you enjoy doing something. An alternate translation is to like to. For example:
me gusta de vivir = I enjoy living; I like to live

It is also possible to use 'de' after gustar when introducing a prepositional phrase. For example:
Lo que me gusta de vivir en California es el clima.
= What I like about living in California is the climate.
Used in a prepositional phrase, vivir is not a verb. Rather, it's the object of the preposition (and a gerund).
Qué me gusta de ti.
= What I like about you.

Error is the basic thing in learning. Those who want to learn, fall in error but stay patient.
