[QUOTE=Guriosity;51844282]You explore and find where ya fit. I found by going island hopping I'm more at home in a jungle or tropical forest. Where people are more laid back friendly and on island time.
I'm going try go else where with same conditions when I can.
There are a few ways to go about moving.
You can just go. I have a relative who got the gift of gab. So he has hauled up and vanished a few times before and appear in places far from home like Hawaii. He managed to get smoozy with locals to convince them to take him in. This is a rare feat and trait.
The more likely thing is go on social media of where you want to go. I suggest to step down and explore less developed locales. Its cheap and learn some things.
But yes go on social media and get to know folks. After a while you can learn where to get jobs rent and learn the language or two.
Then begin vacation ing there. Found a hostel and go there and meet new people. This should take a year or so and get you face to face time with the place.
Once you know enough locals, it should be easy to move right in.
Do realize it might be a good idea to remove any defects in ones personality before going. As mentioned before a decent personality can open doors and appaling ones can shut em real quick.
I have no attachment where I live. I am tied to the USA for financial reasons.

Either you live in a classy place like San Fran where your wallet takes a fucking beating where jobs exist or ya go into the stick where cost of living is cheap and everything else sucks.
Welcome to America![/QUOTE]
There is a middle ground, ya know. Cities that aren't absurdly expensive but still have jobs are out there. I'm in the DFW area of Texas and it's pretty great. Lots of work opportunities, cost of living isn't bad...
[QUOTE=ejonkou;51887079]I'm not attached to where I live very much, I have some bad memories I'd like to leave behind.
Been looking in to moving to a larger town, Stockholm/Göteborg/Uppsala in the near future. Really depends if I want to go to university or not.
I don't really want to leave Sweden though. Even with some of the issues(which a lot of American media are overexaggerating) it seems as though Sweden is still one of the most stable and best countries to live in. Not to mention free university if I decide to go and free healthcare.[/QUOTE]
I loved Goteborg, would have totally moved there if they had accepted my application.
I love living in Washington state. I've lived in the same house for my 22 years of life and want to move when I can, but not out of state. I live a little over half an hour south of Seattle. I love the weather and the general mood here, Washington is pretty chill and accepting. As cliche as it is, the "Come As You Are" sign in Aberdeen sums it up well.

I absolutely love Washington state, it's one of the friendliest places I've been to in my travels. The PNW is pretty great in general.
[QUOTE=Levelog;51888407]I loved Goteborg, would have totally moved there if they had accepted my application.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I really like Göteborg. Been there a couple of times and it feels like Stockholm minus the douchey attitude of the Stockholmare. Leaning towards Uppsala at the moment, not a big fan of the south in general.
I cannot wait to get away from where I am. It's like the scum of the country piled up into a "seaside resort".
I've been living near the border of South Carolina/Georgia for roughly the past decade (SC, Augusta area), and have made some good memories and friends at home, but there's just not much opportunity here.
Even now, despite the fact that I've moved to Charleston for college, I just feel like there's no real reason to stay in SC unless I get a really, really incentivizing job offer in the area around Charleston (since it's pretty damn great down here climate-wise most of the year)- otherwise I'm hoping to either head out west to try and get started in the tech industry (CS major) or head up the coast to around DC or the New England area, where I've got family and there's more opportunities available.
Definitely hoping to take a trip overseas to Europe sometime in the not-too-distant future, perhaps once I graduate in a few years.

[QUOTE=LoneWolf_Recon;51846926]Simultaneously, I've reached a point with my SO (who recently moved to Atlanta from Knox) where I'm honestly thinking about moving down to (and thinking about moving in).
Despite both cities being in the South, both are pretty progressive, have strong tech sectors, etc.[/QUOTE]
I've got cousins who live in Atlanta currently; city's a bit more expensive and crowded then the rest of Georgia, but like you said- more progressive, stronger tech sector there, and the public amenities and events in Atlanta are great too.
I'm currently in Charleston for college, but if I had to pick another city in the South to move to instead of moving out west or up north for a job, I'd want Atlanta.
i fear for my wellbeing, safety, and life if i were to ever move out of my state.

I know too many places like this.
I've never felt attached to anywhere I've lived on account on my family moving from country to country constantly.
Somehow I've gone from living in Dubai as a kid to living in Spain right now and my family is already in talks on maybe moving to New Zealand. Kinda feels like I've been in and out of airports way more often than anyone I've known. Just kinda feels weirdly temporary all the time
My flesh sticks to the sofa; does that count?
But seriously I like where I live.
not at all. I moved a whole bunch when I was a youngin so I never really clung to any places of residence
I grew up in Pennsylvania. Once I turned 18 I moved out right away. Lots of internet friends I wanted to meet.
I've lived in, Pennsylvania, California, Maryland, Virginia, New York, and Arizona.
Very. I was born and raised in New York. I made the mistake of doing two years at a college in Utah. I never thought I would stay here until I left. I like Europe, it has some sort of charm to it so I'm considering moving there, but I have to be back in New York often.
I lived in Vermont for just over 10 years until we moved last summer -- that's more than half of my life so far. I've lived in Maine for almost 8 months now, and while I still feel a strong connection to Vermont and consider it my home state over Maine, I've enjoyed living here pretty well so far. There's a whole lot to this state that I haven't explored yet (especially considering that Maine alone makes up about half of New England's land area), and I'd like to see it all before I move somewhere else. I'd like to stay here for a while.
Besides Vermont, I don't really know where else I'd move to. Somewhere else in New England, most likely, but not beyond there if I had the choice. I've grown far too attached to this part of the country that I can't really imagine living outside it.
Pretty attached. Lots of friends and family here. I can't stand how hot and humid it is (in summer) compared to where I used to live though.
I'd love to move to the U.S. one day but the only problem's my really close friends. I've known some since I was a little kid and I doubt they'd move with me
Where I used to live (The Isle Of Wight, or the Isle Of Shite as I call it) is full of shit. Full of narrow-minded people, barely anything to do, rumours spread like wildfire and there are no jobs whatsoever :v: there are more reasons why it's completely shit but I don't wish to type a book.
Newcastle is where my heart really is. My partner lives there, it is full of possibilities, loads of jobs and the Geordies are so damn nice and are fun to have a bit of banter with :dance:
Oslo, Norway. Everything is expensive and the wheather sucks for half of the year. I'm not terribly attached to the location. I am however attached to my friends.
I couldn't imagine living anywhere else in Norway. If I'm moving I'm going to a different country.

When I went up there I started and ended my trip in Oslo. When I got there it was rainy and dead. When I ended back there colleges had just started and it was far warmer and clear, it was like a completely different city.
Having moved around a bit, I feel like I've found a city that I can settle in. I'd love to travel a lot more, but at this point I wouldn't want to [i]live[/i] anywhere else.
I'd love to travel if I could afford it. The company I work for sent me to the bay area in California for 6 weeks and I spent all my time off seeing the sights. I'd love to keep doing that, but I also like living in the Pacific Northwest. Generally mild winters and summers, it's green year round. lots of camping during the spring and summer, the beach isnt too far of a drive, with the mountains an equal distance away. There's some really sweet white water rafting 2- 3 hours away too.
I love the weather and wildlife here, but the price of living it fucked. Property is Florida is horrendously expensive, at least in the part of the state I live.
