Feeling overwhelmed with options
Newly single 33F looking for the next chapter in life. I’ve done a lot of research because I have absolutely no clue where I want to move - probably because it doesn’t exist or I can’t afford it lol. My plan is to narrow down a couple of the best options and test them out. Hoping y’all can give me some good insight or ideas. I realize I probably won’t find somewhere that ticks all my boxes, but I haven’t done a ton of domestic travel so I don’t have a lot of personal experience to go on.
Must haves
- Car-light or car-free
- Mid sized or pocket of large city
- Design forward restaurants, cafes, & wine bars
- Pretty, human scale architecture
- Green spaces / tree-lined streets
- Easy to form community
- Clean
- 30’s dating scene
- Airport access
- Nice 1br on ~120k salary
Don’t like
- Overly gritty
- Brutal winters (can handle some snow)
- Extreme party / nightlife culture
Interests
- Interior design, matcha, travel, farmers markets, going to the library and movie theater, baking, Pilates, parks, walking, bike rides, occasional concerts or art events, book clubs
Places I’ve Tried
- Lived in: South Florida, Charleston
- Didn’t like: Boston (too bro), Washington DC (too career focused), Atlanta (not car-light or free), Charlotte (duh), Baltimore (great for a weekend but too gritty), Portland ME (love but too small), Seattle (too gritty? only there for a couple days)
- LOVE (cries in American & “poor”): Brooklyn, London (specific neighborhoods), Copenhagen
**Places I’m Considering**
- Richmond, VA
- Philadelphia (Rittenhouse)
- Mexico City

Ladies, you can pick anywhere to live for 6mo. - 1 year. Where are you going and why?
I finally have the opportunity to slowmad and would love to hear from more those more experienced! Your favorites might make me consider somewhere I wouldn’t have otherwise. Looking forward to hearing from you
Fellow EST women - if you could slowmad anywhere for 6–12 months, where would you go and why?
I finally have the opportunity to DN and the idea of the slowmad lifestyle appeals to me. I want to hear from those with more experience; Maybe there are some places I wouldn’t have considered otherwise. I’d trial run any option before committing - just having fun hearing about your favorite experiences!
Happy to hear from anyone but especially interested in the EST female perspective for overlap & safety reasons.
