If I Move, What I Might Want In a New Place

I haven't left New England in my 52 years on the planet. Maybe it's time to move. So, what would be important about a new place?

    1. I want to live by water - Water's important to my life. I've lived near a lake or an ocean or both for my entire life.

    2. I want a nice walkable downtown area - even if it's a vast city or a tiny village, I want a place where I can walk and get some eggs and coffee and read a magazine.

    3. I'd love a restaurant or three - There are maybe 10 places that do take out near me and while I love to cook, some variety in options for meals would be nice.

    4. Startup culture would be cool - or some sense of building different kinds of futures, even if (or maybe especially if) it's a place looking to reinvent itself.

    5. Not too far from an airport - this is a must for work

    6. Decent health care would be important - I need good medical coverage ( I mean, who doesn't?)

    7. Cultural centers (like symphony halls) aren't nearly as important to me as public spaces where we can gather or share or perform at a grassroots level. (Local would be more fun.)

Some place completely different? Grew up in Boston, school in San Diego been in AZ since 1990. One of the great things is living in a place so different from where I grew up.

I bet it's quite different. I mean the desert is a whole other creature.

That sounds like UK or London to me! Or singapore? But Singapore might be too warm for you. Or New Zealand!

I don't know just yet. Costa Rica has an ocean and Portugal and Spain. Those are the 3 I've been thinking about a lot. I've never been to any of them, though, so it'll require a bit of travel.

@camelliayang is currently in Portugal! She said she loved it, and according to her, it's the perfect place for Digital Nomad. I only heard good thing about Portugal so far. :)
