I do like where I live ...

So when I hear things about New England and it's history and culture and people, I tend to pay attention.

Just recently, the peeps over at GoFundMe declared we New Englanders to be the most generous:

We occupy the top three positions on their per capita donations rankings, and four out of the top five, and six of the top ten.

Despite this love of where I'm from, my wife and I are discussing where we want to live the rest of our lives.

It's not a decision to be made immediately. I'm currently enrolled in another degree program so I couldn't move immediately anyway. And she has a successful accounting practice here.

But long term ... It's this where we want to call home? It's an open discussion.

Do you love where you live?

Would you ever pick up and move?

What would motivate such a decision?

Is climate a good enough reason?

I can't complain too much about here; I mean, sure, financially I'd probably be better abroad but things that I take for granted here wouldn't be as straightforward or guaranteed. Also from a purely geographic/climatic/"touristic" POV I'm in the golden spot. I have the sea one road crossing away, and cities, countryside, hills, hot springs and even mountains all within a 2h drive.

@Elessar All of that is less than a hour away here.

@Elessar Very nice. And yes, where you live is quite nice. As you know I've been thru there twice, but unfortunately neither visit afforded time to explore.
