Temporarily moved from Seattle to Camano Island, abt 60 miles N of Seattle. Telecommute from my office with a picnic table and a wrought iron chair under a soccer shelter served by an indoor access point sheltered under a green plastic bucket. Walks on the beach instead of another cup of coffee. Heaven to me!

#102I was already remote, but I’m moving from Seattle to Denver. Combination of family and a more favorable climate. The somewhat lower cost of living doesn’t hurt, but it’s not like Denver is cheap .
What about the climate in Denver is better than Seattle? Less rain, or at least rain less often? (Not saying you're wrong, I just wonder.)
Denver only has 30 to 40 days a year without at least partial sun.

300ish days of sunshine a year in Denver versus about half that in Seattle.

#104Earlier quoted context omitted.
Montana has terrible internet, no local tech jobs, and is below zero for weeks in the winter. I recommend Colorado.
ClassPass HQ is in Missoula. Bozeman has fiber internet and a good sized tech community that’s growing by the day. Plus Montana’s outdoor rec access is a great complement to sitting on your computer all day.
Sssssshhhh. Giant bears roam the streets and everyone walks around with guns.

#105Coolangatta, Queensland - Australia. World famous surf spots + easy going lifestyle + affordable real estate by the beach.
That has to be one of the most competitive places to surf in the world. Hope you are good!

#109Hawaii if flying didn't feel risky(virus) and logistics were easier. The 2 week quarantine makes a hard move harder. I'm not sure I actually want to be in a hotel. I am "settling" lol for Santa Cruz. I really thought I wanted to live in so cal for awhile too but watching the reactions to blm and covid makes me second guess that. Actually made me really unsure where I might want to live. Also thought about Florida in…
Speaking as someone in Hawaii, there isn't a lot that's great here. Predominant anti-intellectual culture, high COL, Amazon Prime can take up to 2 weeks, etc. The best thing is definitely the nature and safety, though
Based off the responses I got I should written a longer post. I figured with Hawaii it would never be a place to live forever, but maybe a year or two. Spend time checking out all of the islands. Actually getting like really good at surfing. A lot of the stuff I read make it sound unreasonable to actually settle down for a long time there. Family is no where close, not really a great place raise kids?well it's probably fun but not setting them up for success. North shore was an amazing time when I visited... I don't need hip restaurants and nightlife I'm over that.
