Moving out West

[ATLstudent]

Well i am ready to move....i wanna go to the west coast, maybe north cali or Oregon, gonna happen within the next two months....no job set up, no place to live....planning on doing all of this on a whim......not opposed to sleep in car till i get a place.

Anyone done this before?

I'm tempted. There's nothing left in this area for me. I'm in the same situation as you and want to start something new.

lets do it

I did it in 2001. I've never, ever regretted it. I truly found who I am and what I'm capable of here in SF.

I need a beach/tropical area that's not super developed, but not 3rd world. I've got some homework to do in the next few months about what I want to focus on career wise. I've always been interested in working where people vacation. I'm tired of the stresses and raw winter weather of the Northeast.

There is a lot of places in Mexico like that, that are pretty safe too. Im sure along the west coast u can find small beaches, not tropical though. I know the islands can be dangerous but with the right head on your shoulders we could make it.

Give me 4 years to get out of college and I'm totally down. Grew up on the West Coast, and I can say that, in all ways, I prefer over any other geographic region of the US. Best weather, great cities, most beautiful part of the US, best oceans, more laid back, etc.

 

I wish you luck man, hopefully I'll be out there too in due course.
