I've lived abroad working online for a very long time. It felt like going out west to find gold. I made my money, way more than enough, and it is time to come back to the US and not live as a foreigner anymore.
I'm looking for a place that is warm year round. Any ideas?
Florida
Be more specific. Bocaa Raton? St Augustine?
St Augustine looks amazing, I'm just afraid it is too small and I'd get bored. Used to big cities.
Our cities are mostly bad, or at risk of heading that way soon. War zone bad. You want a safe distance. There are a few exceptions, and FL probably has more of those than any other southern State.
Are you familiar with east coast humidity?
Lived in Thailand, I don't mind humidity I hope.
Ha! I guess you're ok with that. Right on the east coast FL isn't so sweltering if there's a sea breeze, but even a couple miles inland is completely different. You can hang! Lots to pick from, FL man.
Although TX does have a LOT more than just desert outside of the cities. I bet you can find lots of specifics here from locals ...
See that's my problem. I also want to live there...but its a large state and I haven't decided where yet.
I'm generally looking for something medium sized but close to some larger attractions.
You want to avoid South Florida. It's all swamp (literally) and Miami isn't very safe.
But it's got a great Gov, good election processes, a red leaning swing state, warm all year, no state income tax, no property tax for seniors.
I was looking at central FL last month, but want to take another trip driving around before I decide.
