Best place to relocate?
 

Discussion topic.

I'm hoping that I'll be relocating soon, should a company hire me for in-house. However, I'm wondering where the best area is for relocation. Let's keep these factors in mind:

• I do not like overly warm areas. This would include any place that sees more than ninety degree days in the summer.
• I do not like excessive humidity. This would include areas which see over 75% humidity during the summer.
• I love rain and storms. The more storms, the happier I am.
• I can handle sunshine. Just not excessive amounts. Don't expect me to turn into a beach bum.
• Apartments, downtown, duplex, single-family house, acerage, whatever. That doesn't matter to me.

So does anyone have any ideas? Let's talk and see where I'd be better off. :glugglug

domestic or international ok as well?

Kenya, got a hut for $800/ month.:thumbsup













j/k, i would say.....


Maine, if you are in the states.

If you're looking in the U.S., you can research almost TOO much information on this site: http://www.city-data.com/

Sounds like Oregon or Washington state would both be good places for you.:thumbsup

Everything arround ottawa-montreal is very nice ...

If you are looking for small town you can get a pimped ass place for like 600 $ .

If you are looking near ottawa (1 million arround) or mtl (dunno probably 2 millions) , you can probably get a nice place for 800-1000 $ a month . And Im talking about like 1400-1600 square feets place :)

san francisco?

If you're not only re-locating in North America (which you probably are...), I think you'd find Costa Rica meets a lot of your benefits:

around San Jose (the center):

- valley, keeping things cool lots of wind
- rain and storms. Season starting in 2 days, for about 4 months we have atleast 3-4 hours of rain per day. It's great!
- humidity / sunshine / heat: in a valley, never reaches very hot temperatures like the beaches do.

Those are for your criteria, for a few of my own:

- Very cheap cost of living, yet high quality. No 3rd world country here.
- Beautiful, friendly women everywhere (not sure if thats for you though hehe)
- Gorgeous country with many natural features and benefits (volcanoes, rafting, beaches, wildlife, etc...)

I lived in Washington state for 7 years. I miss it. If I could get work up there that would actually pay me enough to live on, I'd move in a heartbeat.

Thanks for the ideas, everyone. :) I'll keep researching! :glugglug

Check that link, Tala when you find a place that interests you. You can get monthly average temps, days of rain, days of sun, if theres any toxic dumpsites, median age, average incomes.. etc etc etc etc. Even ratio of men to women, hehe :)

Vancouver, BC. Canada :thumbsup

We love it here in NC, did you talk to my friend about a job in NJ?
I didn't like it there at all.




:thumbsup

expensive as fruck

Just about to say that, but you beat me to the punch. Tala, your weather requirements fit us to a T. Why don't you come up here and give it a try. Its the most beautiful place you will ever live.

:thumbsup

I spoke with him about the NJ job, but it wasn't something that I was able to do. "Over-qualified" is the term. :(

Over qualified for lots of stuff, under-qualified for everything else. Welcome to my world.:helpme

I'd love to, however, I need a good job first. :)

I had a few buddies in Vancouver, Surrey, and Victoria. Fun times. I lived in Oak Harbor, Washinton, and really enjoyed going up to Vancouver on the weekends. :thumbsup

Wow, that sucks. You don't want to live there so it's a mixed blessing.



:thumbsup

Actually, I like new things, so it may well have been a good thing to try. Never lived in Jersey, and only seen it once.

Whatever you do, stay away from surrey ;)

I lived in Victoria for 5 years and it is one of the nicest places on earth!

Sounds about right, other then summer... it rains just about every other day. Summer is great too! Not overly hot , but nice and sunny. :thumbsup

Vancouver/GVRD. :)

*laughs as people encourage me to leave the country*

Thanks for all the suggestions. :)

damn i hate wa, seattle especially shit ass weather.

but for you...i suggest there or san francisco :)

If you like all around beauty, snow in winter, green mountains and trees in the summer, lakes, rivers, just gorgeous....then try Steamboat Springs Colorado:thumbsup . We love it!

So you are looking to move someplace before you find a job? Isn't that a little ass backwards?

In the US I say Parts of Northern California is for you. Internationaly, Madrid is nice

Yes, but when did I ever do anything the way others thought it should be done? I'm a bit bass-ackwards myself, so this seems a natural solution. :helpme

Good stuff! That's where I'm moving in a month. :thumbsup

Bahamas and start a gambling empire :thumbsup

US gov can get you there for sure

You've just described Seattle, Portland or any other city in the northwest (west of the cascades) :thumbsup

Washington calls to you.

Time to come home.

The more I think about it, the more I want to go home. If I could get a good job there, I'd move in a heartbeat. No thinking about it, no bullshit, I'd be going home.

*sigh*

Too bad my husband hates Washington. It's going to be sad to leave him in Tennessee. :(
