For me, this is the number one reason that I work remote. Here was my thought process: - Identify the thing you really want to do most in life. - Find the place in the world where you can do that the best. - Find a house there. For me, as a rock climber, that meant moving to a little village near Fontainebleau, France, where they keep the best Bouldering in the world. For you, it might mean finding the best concentra…

But what if the place you really want to be is... wait for it... the office. I get that's not a popular choice, but there's few things I love more than going to work.

I'd add Saint Petersburg, FL to the nice list, may be include in your Tampa post since it is part of the Tampa Bay region, but St Pete is a nice city, very progressive and liberal, lots to do, nice art scene and lots of restaurants. As any place in Florida, the heat may not be for you, the summer months are hard but if you adjust your schedule to early mornings and late afternoons is generally a nice place to live. T…

Yep lived there in the early 90's, it was a little rough back then but it was still a cool place to live, I did kind of wrap it up with my generally Tampa area along with Clearwater, I really don't make a distinction between the 3, until you get north to Tarpon Springs or south to Ruskin, it's kind of all the Greater Tampa area.
