Hi everyone, I would appreciate any feedback y'all might have!

My husband (41M) and I (35F) are originally from seacoast New Hampshire. We moved to Chicago for grad school in mid-2024 to become therapists. We are both making a career switch (I used to be in tech, and he owned a yacht services company). Our long-term plan is to open a joint private practice together with a focus on romantic partnerships of any configuration (non-monogamous/monogamous) and sex therapy. We will graduate in August 2027 and hope to move after that.

If winters didn't exist, we would move to Portland, ME. It's beautiful, on the ocean, highly educated, one of the least religious states in the U.S., and has some of the best food we've ever had. We absolutely love New England culture.

Our big hang-up is winter weather. We just don't think we can do it anymore.

We are currently looking into Savannah and Charleston.

Some things to know about us:

• Been together 14 years.
• We don't have kids. We are leaning towards not having any kids, but if we do, it would be 1 kid several years from now.
• We have two dogs.
• We must have access to the ocean. We like to spend time at the beach.
• We are not considering West Coast locations because all of our family is on the East Coast.
• We are financially comfortable.
• Access to quality food and food ingredients is a must. (Chicago has some of the most mid food I have ever had, and it's very disappointing.)
• We want to be able to garden. We love cooking/baking.
• When we move, we will most likely work remotely as therapists until we are fully licensed, and then we would open our joint private practice and start taking clients from that location.
• We are athiests.
• We consider ourselves progressive, but not woke.
• We are polyamorous.
• We love history, and I love old houses.
• We prefer humidity over dry climates.
• We are down for a slower, quieter pace of life.
• We want a boat so we can spend time on the water sunbathing, eating, drinking, and swimming.

We'd love to hear from anyone who has thoughts/opinions on Savannah, Charleston, or other locations! Thank you!
