Don’t dox yourself. Try to limit your information to a Maidenhead locator or general area of at least a few kilometers in an urban area and a few dozen in rural areas.

I’m from South Hesse, in Germany. Some of the most regarded German comedians (yes, they exist) are from around here and we have a pretty diverse culture, both traditionally German and from immigrants.

So, where do you live and how is it?

    Southwest Washington State. Originally from Northwest Oregon.

    It is amazing here. We have very moderate weather, lots of trees year round. An hour from the beach. An hour from the mountains. Surrounded by forests.

    The people here are pretty diverse and friendly for the most part. Always festivals or events going on year round. We have a great beer and food culture.

    The complaints I have are few and far between, but overall it is a fantastic area.

      North Georgia here. Wife and I have been up to visit friends near Seattle a few times with another trip planned this year. We. Love. It. Being so close to so many proper mountains is just such a breathtaking thing that we don’t really have where we are. Don’t get me wrong, the Appalachians are nice, but we were just in awe seeing Mount Rainier above the clouds during our first flight in to the area.

    I’m from one of the many cities in Metro Manila, Philippines. Right now, it’s very, very rainy.

    I’m from a small town in Kentucky but have moved multiple times throughout my life due to my parents occupations. Now that I’m older I’ve moved to a bigger more liberal city in Kentucky which is considerably more diverse and has plenty of things to keep you occupied.

    I live in the countryside of western New York, somewhat close to Buffalo. Its beautiful land, but not a lot to do unless you’re really into outdoor activities (which are fun, just in moderation for me).

    Southern California. It’s very hot here and there’s a lot of dirt, but at least we have In-N-Out.

    Being in the high desert, we have like four weather patterns, but we do rarely get snow so it’s cool to see when it happens. It also gets very windy, especially during early summer.

    To get anywhere interesting you would have to drive, and to go on vacation you would have to drive much further. Even then, a lot of people still drive big trucks that burn gas like nobody’s business. But hey, that’s rural America for you.

      Any towns you recommend in South CA? For example, Temecula. My wife and I follow FI/RE and we want to move to that area from the NE once we quit our jobs. We’d be in our late 30s.

        In terms of places to live? I wouldn’t be the best one to ask about that, I don’t have my own place yet. That being said, I like where I live, in [High Desert], though admittedly I’m pretty biased in saying that. You might be able to find an area that’s nice and affordable.

    The part of British Columbia that is just east enough of Vancouver to stop being a beautiful coastal rainforest and start being treeless, godforsaken farmland. It was a rainforest with a beautiful lake 150 years ago but then the settlers showed up, drained the lake, cut down the trees, and turned it all into farmland so we can have raspberries.

      from the part that’s still (mostly) a beautiful coastal rainforest, hey neighbour and thank you for the raspberries! (and good luck with the upcoming heat these next few days…)

    Greater Boston area here, and I love it! Lots of friends from school happen to live here, and the job market has been decent for me as a software engineer.
