So I have that itch to move again..
dont know where still trying to think it through..
I was born in Maine.. grew up in New Hampshire, went back to NH.. then back to Maine
then to Long island NY and have moved like 7 times on long island since..
I am thinking a move is in order.. not that i can afford to do it now but nothing wrong with a little planning ....


what are some of the places you would move if you could?

    Why are you moving so much? What kind of a job do you have that would allow you to move all over the country on a whim?

    I've already moved to my dream city:

    It's in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by farms and forests.

    It's got 4 college campus areas, a billion bars, and a thriving local art scene.

    There are tons of hippies, hipsters, artists, weirdos, and geeks.

    It's not a city, but not a small town.

    It's practically a dart-throw center of the United States.

    It was either here, Boulder, CO, or Portland OR

    Where on LI have you lived? Being a fellow new yorker, I just love it here. Maybe you just haven't found the right city?

    I live on the coast of NC, I love it here... seriously, pry my cold, dead body out of here type love it. This is my happy place.

    I grew up in PA and that just wasn't for me. I'm not really a 'small town America' type...... or a northerner. I feel like I fit in much better in the south.

    - I have lived in Oceanside, Northport, Massapequa, Hicksville and now i am currently in Farmingdale which i like.
    I would love to Live in Brooklyn tho.. but i cant afford that..
    I guess I feel I am Stuck between my feeling of wanting to be in a city and my love for small town environment.

    You can probably get a good deal on a house in Detroit.

    Hmmm...you are not far from where I live. But I don't think I would consider it my "dream city." Personally, I LOVE Panama City.

    Where have you lived in Maine? The coast is gorgeous, if that's your thing. If not- northern woods provide a place to hide bodies.. I've lived in Maine my entire life- the only other place I would think to live is Vermont. I love visiting warmer places, just need the scenery here.
