    I agree. So you have the luxury of civilisation and the countryside on your doorstep. That's why the Lake district or Peak district would be perfect for me... plus, good mountain biking country ;)

    move to Kendal, Keswick or somwhere!! beautiful towns and everything countrysidey is right on your doorstep isnt it.

    plus you'll be closer to where i live and that can only be a good thing.. ;) *bulk buys parma violets and plasters*

    audio wants to hurt me now doesnt he? :D

    :D even though where I live is ALMOST suburban... you don't have to drive for too long to find some countryside... and we've the biggest urban park in europe right beside us... I just love the tranquility when I visit my sister though.

    It's time you start travelling though Sian :)

    Oh I know! I went to Belfast in January and loved the experience of seeing the city and travelling and i've travelled round England a bit of late, including Lincoln a few weeks ago. I absolutely adored Lincoln, it's simply stunning, the kind of place I was talking about moving to when i'm older.
    TBH I need to get my fat ass in gear and get my passport. I wanna see Dublin, Paris and Edinburgh soon... I'ma getting itchy feets! :D

    :D I dunno... after having lived in Dublin for 8 years now :eek: I'm well and truly getting sick of the place... and crave some countryside every now and then. I wouldn't make the big leap of moving straight into the middle of nowhere.. but a small rural town would be nice :)


    i only like visiting big cities... i couldnt live in one... 4 hours to drive to a beach.. fuck that.

    well like I said, where I live is a short drive to some kinda countryside (less than 10 minutes) or 30 minutes on the train to the beach... where I work, the beach is only around the corner so I go the odd day after work and just sit and read or take photographs of random stuff :)

    If you enjoy being outdoors doing recreational things, and don't mind the sun, Austin is the coolest place out there. I've lived all over the country and haven't found anyplace better than this.

    I really like living in Boston but I'm just feeling like I'm never going to get ahead here - everything is so expensive. I'm thinking of moving South (NC or SC) or West (Nevada, AZ).

    Is anyone in a similar position? Or has anyone decided to pick up and move elsewhere? I'd appreciate your thoughts and/or advice?

    If you move from boston to north carolina, south carolina, or arizona, you will save on rent, but you'll make up for it in gas- no public transportation and very far distances between stuff.
