@RubiesandButterflies get rid of some of your stuff then move where you want

@Jenny1234 Why don't you love it?
What's there to do?

@iamnikki there always something to do. The only thing I don’t love is the traffic. We are over populated for the amount of roads we have which means too many cars on not enough or not big enough roads. Also so many people here speed and make up their own rules of the road.

@CrazyMusicLover I always wished I had a place that I went to durin summers as a kid. Seems like everyone around me was always going places during summer. I never had any stories to tell once I got back to school after summer break.

What's there to do in your hometown/birth town?

@iamnikki My home city is surrounded by the woods where you can go hiking, there are some lakes you can swim in or do some water sports in, there are some seasonal events you can go to but it's nothing big. Things like summer cinema in a local amphitheatre, street food or wine festivals, some small live shows or a movie festival. Shows with big names are extremely rare. There are a few art galleries, a zoo, a botanical garden, a museum. We only have one main street that is usually very lively but not obnoxiously loud during the summer and around Christmas. There are outdoor restaurants and bars all along it. The only time the main street gets overcrowded is when some special event takes place that attracts more people than usual and it's very rare.

I don't know my birthtown that much but there's a big dam nearby where people go for vacations and you can swim in it, do water sports or sail a boat, there are also thermal spas with some attractions. There are also hills, forests, lakes where you can hike. I have honestly no idea if there's any nightlife right in the town but at the dam, there are loud parties in summer that can sometimes be heard all night long from far away. Of course, as kids we were usually spending most of the time in our grandparent's garden or we biked around the town. We used to bike around the dam as well but it was a really long trip.

@CrazyMusicLover Sounds like nice area. I have some of those things here too, but it's just not new/fresh anymore. I really need a change of scenery. Until then, guess I'll take backroads etc for scenery changes.

@in10RjFox What brought you back?
Does your family have a house there?
What call are you awaiting?

@iamnikki Yes. Took solace with my parents due to losses. Now awaiting call from investors/ partners for my new mega biz venture that's all set to reform the world.

@reflectingmonkey It always sucks when I come back from vacation 😄

@Jenny1234 yes I still live here. It's things to do but I've done all that I'm interested in doing here.
I think about leaving all the time. I watch travel videos a lot so that I can feel like I've been somewhere and experienced something other than the boredom that is currently my life.
I would like to move to a new city or state even, but with the job market being the way it is, it's very difficult.
It's hard for me to even find a new job where I live. I feel like I'd be screwing myself trying to move solo to a new city or state.

@iamnikki I can see where that would Be hard to do on so many levels

@V00doo I can understand that. I was desperate to leave my parents house a few years ago for that very reason. Felt like a 'failure to launch'. I think about when my parents pass. Is that where I'm gonna have to live? 😖

Where would you like to go?

@iamnikki Nah. Im ready to leave London.
