Relocating from NYC
Hello all of you beautiful humans,
I am a born and raised New Yorker, and with the exception of one year living in London, my 38 year old self is ready to relocate away from NYC. Ultimately the goal is to move back to somewhere in Europe, but I've just started a business that I feel requires my physical presence here for a few more years.
I am single, have two plush boy cats, and while New York has everything at every time and is technically my homeland, I have had enough. My nervous system cannot handle one more siren or random 3 am sidewalk fight, or cheeseburger thrown at my head (true story).
Professionally I am a marketing executive and an adjunct professor, and can work remotely.
Originally I was considering Savannah but apparently the crime has increased so significantly, and then I thought perhaps California (I adore the Spanish-style historic homes). I don't know if I would be happy living in complete Suburbia, it may be a bit like The Shining for me, so proximity to human life and adult human men would be ideal. Somewhere where I could meet friends and develop a small social circle. My only real preference is the weather, no more snow ever, EVER.
Any thoughts on other places I should consider?
