NYC does have everything, I do agree with that. But there is no way I can move right into the city. That would be super expensive, something I can't even fathom doing.
Right now I'm just looking for a change and looking for the next best thing.
Why don't you move down south? It's a whole other world down here. The pace is much slower, but people seem to be more friendly and it would definitely be a change from city life. Especially if you like the outdoors and being outside in the wilderness.
