    I would love to spend some time in Michigan. It always looks so beautiful to me when I look at pictures online. I'm actually planning a vacation next year to visit Traverse City, MI. Where I live in Nevada it is hot and dry most of the time, I think I would love the change of the seasons, and SNOW!

    I've lived in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, NYC, Salt Lake, City, and out of the country in Lebanon and now Tunisia. I'm really enjoying living in a WARM climate and decided I never want to live in the frozen north again. I realized that I was wasting half of my life being miserable in the winter.

    I never leave Louisiana for anywhere in the US (food is too good around here). But I would move to Florence Italy in a heart beat.

    I love New York but I see myself moving to somewhere liberal and warm like California in the future. I really can't do this winter *kitten* anymore.

    From NY and moved to Vegas for 6 months for an internship. I cannot wait to go back to the east coast in a month. Everything here is just the same all the time, I miss thunder storms, and the changing trees. It's boring here when it's just hot all the time.

    If I have to stay I'd probably move to Oregon. But my choice would be to leave and go elsewhere more progressive. Unfortunately I don't see that ever happening.

    I live in Montana and when people ask me where I would live if I could live anywhere, I say, "Montana." :)

    However, I would consider Alaska for a stint.

    I really like the Lincoln-Omaha area, but it's much further North from where I live now and tbh I do NOT want any worse winters.

    Maybe southern Utah or New Mexico.

    I would have the same issue. I actually love cool to cold dark windy fall days, anticipation of the first snow storm and the spring-time thunderstorms

    Having been raised in the military, we lived on all coasts of the US during my childhood, and every one of them had great things.

    I currently live in Salt Lake City, where we have 100 degree days in the summer and the best snow on earth in the winter. In the Spring I can golf and snow ski by driving 30 minutes. We have all the seasons. Not that it is Utopia, but I do enjoy it.

    My goal for retirement - should the day ever come! Is to buy a motorhome and put my Motorcycle in a trailer and tour the entire US over the course of a few years. There are so many places and cultures that I want to take in, I couldn't see myself in one place.

    If you held a gun to my head and made me choose one destination, where money wasn't a factor I would probably choose somewhere along the coast in Southern Ca. just for the weather. But that would mean everyone else would have to move, because I love a small town.

    Don't move to Phoenix! It's too crowded here, already. ;)

    I recently moved to coastal Carolina. Big difference from the horrible NY and NEPA winters, and the horrible DMV humidity. I don't like being so close to the beach and the threats of tropical storms though lol. Been all over the east coast. I really wanna see Cali, Texas, and Washington. Not to live, just to visit :)

    I agree Louisiana is the best. I'm from New Orleans and have had several opportunities to leave but I can't. There is no place in this country that I know of as unique and interesting then right here. I love it here but Italy would be nice. Ireland too.

    I would move out of the country. Unfortunately all the really progressive places are cold.

    Try New Zealand, not too cold in winter unless you live way inland, with pleasant but not too hot summers. Mild temperatures, moderate rainfall, and abundant sunshine :)
